-Sit back and enjoy the coming hour

-with me.

0:01:210:01:24

-We start the programme

-in the Saith Seren centre.

0:01:290:01:34

-There's an ancient tradition in

-Wales of carrying a horse's skull.

0:01:340:01:38

-It's called the Mari Lwyd and

-she's taken around homes in Wales...

0:01:380:01:43

-..to bring luck for the new year.

0:01:430:01:45

-This tradition

-is still kept to this day.

0:01:450:01:48

-Last Monday night...

0:01:480:01:50

-..the Mari Lwyd visited the

-Saith Seren Welsh Centre in Wrexham.

0:01:500:01:54

-Gerallt was there too.

0:01:550:01:56

-Mair Tomos Ifans joins me...

0:01:570:02:00

-..and Lynn is dressed

-as the Mari Lwyd for this event.

0:02:000:02:04

-I'll chat with Lynn and Mair shortly

-if the Mari Lwyd stops biting me!

0:02:040:02:09

-Goodness me, it's great here.

0:02:090:02:11

-Earlier, I chatted with the faithful

-members of Wrexham's Saith Seren.

0:02:110:02:16

-Happy birthday to the Saith Seren.

0:02:220:02:26

-The past six years have flown by.

0:02:260:02:29

-Tell us about the importance of this

-centre to Welsh speakers in Wrexham.

0:02:290:02:34

-It's incredibly important.

0:02:340:02:36

-People are able to gather here and

-communicate in the Welsh language.

0:02:360:02:41

-We hold live music

-and similar events.

0:02:410:02:45

-Welsh learners meet here

-every Monday night.

0:02:450:02:50

-The Clwb Clebran chatting club

-supports the learners...

0:02:500:02:54

-..and helps them

-to become more fluent.

0:02:550:02:57

-It's important to have these events

-in Wrexham...

0:02:580:03:04

-..and these days, you can come

-to the Saith Saith at any time...

0:03:040:03:08

-..and have a lot of fun.

0:03:080:03:10

-That's the most important thing.

0:03:110:03:14

-This place means different things

-to a lot of different people.

0:03:160:03:21

-We're so lucky because our

-Welsh evenings are very lively...

0:03:230:03:28

-..and we're so happy

-and lucky to have this centre.

0:03:280:03:32

-Other Welsh language groups

-can use the centre.

0:03:320:03:36

-The Merched y Wawr

-use the centre once a year.

0:03:370:03:40

-There's a shop and bar

-but it's primarily a centre.

0:03:410:03:45

-It's important to point out

-that we're a centre.

0:03:450:03:49

-The Welsh language community in

-Wrexham is dotted around the area...

0:03:500:03:55

-..so Y Clawdd helps to unite us all.

0:03:550:03:58

-It's important to have a place

-where we can socialize.

0:03:580:04:01

-Children who are learning Welsh

-in school...

0:04:020:04:05

-..can also come here and speak it.

0:04:050:04:08

-# In the light of the stars #

0:04:080:04:11

-You can have Welsh classes...

0:04:110:04:13

-..but it's important to practice

-the Welsh you have already learnt.

0:04:140:04:19

-The Saith Seren

-holds an evening for learners...

0:04:190:04:22

-..to use the language

-in natural surroundings.

0:04:220:04:26

-If you're ever in Wrexham...

0:04:280:04:32

-..you're all welcome at the Saith

-Seren to speak Welsh and have fun.

0:04:320:04:38

-There's a very warm welcome here

-tonight.

0:04:450:04:48

-This is a real skull, Mair.

0:04:480:04:52

-Yes, it's real

-and isn't a flat pack.

0:04:520:04:55

-It's a proper Mari Lwyd as I've

-given her eyes, bells and headdress.

0:04:560:05:01

-This is an ancient tradition.

0:05:020:05:04

-It's interesting because

-people are unsure of its origin.

0:05:040:05:08

-No, I don't think anybody

-is entirely sure...

0:05:080:05:12

-..of the origin

-and the reason behind this custom.

0:05:120:05:15

-Other countries and areas

-have similar traditions.

0:05:150:05:20

-Lynn is helping Mair

-and the Mari Lwyd.

0:05:200:05:23

-Yes, that's right.

0:05:230:05:25

-It's brilliant.

0:05:250:05:27

-Lynn came to the Mari Lwyd evening

-two years ago.

0:05:270:05:30

-Yes, it was two years ago.

0:05:310:05:32

-At that time, Lynn could only speak

-a tiny bit of Welsh.

0:05:330:05:36

-It's very interesting.

0:05:370:05:38

-I didn't know anything about this

-when I was in school...

0:05:380:05:42

-..but it's great to come here now

-and celebrate this.

0:05:420:05:48

-Thank you, Lynn.

0:05:480:05:49

-Let's meet two other learners

-at the Saith Seren.

0:05:490:05:53

-Hugh was in the Welsh Learner

-of the Year in 2017.

0:05:530:05:57

-Yes, I was one of the four finalists

-and it was a lot of fun.

0:05:570:06:02

-Geraint could follow Hugh's example

-and compete this year.

0:06:020:06:08

-No, there's no chance of that.

0:06:080:06:10

-Go for it, go for it!

0:06:100:06:13

-No, it isn't for me.

0:06:130:06:15

-It's set to be a wonderful night.

0:06:150:06:17

-Thanks to the learners...

0:06:170:06:19

-..and Mair Tomos Ifans for letting

-us have fun with the Mari Lwyd.

0:06:190:06:24

-It's a happy Old New Year

-to everyone who's watching.

0:06:240:06:28

-Thanks to everyone at the

-Saith Seren for the warm welcome.

0:06:290:06:33

-Our next stop is Llandovery

-to meet a young designer...

0:06:330:06:38

-..who's work features on the cover

-of the world-famous, Vogue magazine.

0:06:390:06:43

-This is Lian Cara's story.

0:06:440:06:45

-The fashion and design industry

-is extremely competitive...

0:06:490:06:55

-..so when you receive an email

-from Vogue magazine...

0:06:550:06:59

-..you know you've made it!

0:06:590:07:02

-Tell us about Vogue.

0:07:050:07:07

-I was quite a shock and I thought

-the email was just a joke!

0:07:070:07:12

-It's just overwhelming.

0:07:120:07:14

-I read the magazine and it features

-designers from Milan and Paris...

0:07:150:07:20

-..and now Llandovery

-so I'm the only Welsh one!

0:07:200:07:23

-We're absolutely delighted that Lian

-has had this amazing opportunity...

0:07:290:07:34

-..to have her work shown in Vogue.

0:07:340:07:37

-We're a small college in Wales.

0:07:370:07:39

-To be up there with the big guys

-in London is fantastic.

0:07:390:07:43

-The fashion industry is expensive...

0:07:430:07:46

-..but Lian benefitted from the

-Beacon Bursary to develop her label.

0:07:470:07:52

-Lian won the first prize of 3,000.

0:07:520:07:55

-The prize package also means that

-she gets business support.

0:07:550:08:01

-We've been running this bursary

-for seven years.

0:08:010:08:05

-The final was held in July.

0:08:050:08:09

-Lian's business plan

-really stood out.

0:08:090:08:14

-She also has

-an incredible talent for fashion.

0:08:140:08:19

-The presentation of her business

-plan was professional and focused.

0:08:190:08:24

-The judges were unanimous

-in their decision to award Lian.

0:08:250:08:30

-# Lollipop ice, cinnamon bars

-and a cheep-a-cheep kiss from me #

0:08:300:08:34

-Tell me about this creative outfit.

0:08:340:08:38

-I was inspired

-by the Welsh countryside.

0:08:380:08:42

-I love where I live

-as there's so much inspiration.

0:08:420:08:46

-The laser cut details have come

-from shapes in my drawings.

0:08:470:08:51

-Laser cutting is the technique used

-to create these patterns.

0:08:520:08:57

-Yes, the technique allows you

-to create intricate details...

0:08:570:09:02

-..that cannot be made

-with a scissors.

0:09:020:09:05

-The laser burns through a fabric

-like polyester and the edges melt.

0:09:050:09:11

-It means the fabric doesn't fray.

0:09:110:09:13

-You decided to change college

-after you returned to Wales.

0:09:140:09:19

-Did you base your decision

-on the college's laser machine?

0:09:190:09:25

-Yes, it sold the college to me!

0:09:250:09:27

-You mentioned your love for Wales

-and how it inspires your work...

0:09:320:09:38

-..but is it practical for a designer

-to live in Llandovery?

0:09:380:09:42

-All my work can be found online

-and is sold through a website.

0:09:430:09:47

-Jayne Pierson is a designer who

-lives in Llanelli and is doing well.

0:09:480:09:53

-We always see her at London Fashion

-Week and she works in Burry Port.

0:09:530:09:59

-You can do it if you work hard.

0:09:590:10:01

-This is my new collection that was

-inspired by my graduation pieces.

0:10:040:10:10

-It's my ready-to-wear collection

-so it isn't too dramatic.

0:10:100:10:15

-There are still details

-that are typical of your work.

0:10:150:10:19

-There are small details

-like the laser cut belt loops.

0:10:200:10:24

-I wanted the details to be subtle.

0:10:250:10:29

-As a member of staff at the

-West Wales School of the Arts...

0:10:300:10:34

-..I work closely

-with the fashion department.

0:10:340:10:38

-It's fantastic to see one of

-our students winning the bursary.

0:10:380:10:43

-Vogue is a name

-that is synonymous with fashion.

0:10:430:10:49

-The fact her work is being

-featured in Vogue magazine...

0:10:490:10:53

-..is truly incredible.

0:10:530:10:55

-# And a cheep-a-cheep kiss from me #

0:10:550:10:58

-We leave fashion design

-for hairstyling...

0:10:580:11:02

-..and the stylist, Dafydd Rhys

-has some useful tips for us.

0:11:020:11:06

-One of the most common questions

-is about making your hair shine.

0:11:090:11:13

-Everyone loves shiny hair.

0:11:140:11:16

-It makes the hair look healthy

-and also boosts your complexion.

0:11:160:11:22

-One of my best tips is to

-spray the hair with cold water...

0:11:220:11:26

-..after using a shampoo

-and conditioner.

0:11:260:11:29

-Cold water gives you

-smooth hair cuticles...

0:11:290:11:32

-..and helps the hair

-to reflect the light.

0:11:320:11:37

-You will also need a conditioner...

0:11:380:11:41

-..but it can be

-too heavy for fine hair.

0:11:410:11:45

-One tip is to use the conditioner

-before applying the shampoo.

0:11:450:11:50

-I'm sure you've noticed

-that stylists like to cheat.

0:11:500:11:55

-You can get a perfect blow dry by

-drying the hair away from the face.

0:11:550:11:59

-Use straighteners to polish

-and add shine to the hair tips...

0:11:590:12:04

-..turning it to the face

-to retain the volume and shine.

0:12:040:12:10

-In a matter of minutes,

-Nan is ready for her night out!

0:12:120:12:17

-That was some very useful advice.

0:12:200:12:22

-That's all for now but in

-the second part of the programme...

0:12:220:12:26

-..Rhodri Gomer meets the darts

-player from Cardigan, Jamie Lewis.

0:12:260:12:32

-Yvonne meets a lady who has turned

-recycling into a full-time job.

0:12:320:12:38

-We also meet a lady

-from the Nantlle Valley...

0:12:390:12:43

-..who breeds bull terriers.

0:12:430:12:46

-Don't move a muscle!

-Welcome back.

0:13:000:13:02

-If you enjoy watching darts...

0:13:020:13:05

-..I'm sure you've heard

-about Jamie Lewis.

0:13:050:13:09

-Between Christmas and New Year...

0:13:090:13:11

-..Jamie competed

-in the World Championships...

0:13:120:13:15

-..in the Alexandra Palace.

0:13:150:13:17

-He shot to fame overnight.

0:13:170:13:19

-Jamie Lewis is from Cardigan

-but now resides in Carmarthen.

0:13:230:13:29

-The 26-year-old

-has been a member of the PDC...

0:13:290:13:32

-..or the Professional

-Darts Corporation since 2011.

0:13:320:13:36

-However, 2017 wasn't a year

-to remember for Jamie...

0:13:370:13:41

-..until he reached

-the World Championship...

0:13:410:13:44

-..at Alexandra Palace

-over Christmas.

0:13:450:13:48

-It hadn't been a great season...

0:13:480:13:50

-..and had to enter the qualifiers

-for the World Championships.

0:13:510:13:55

-I qualified and the rest is history.

0:13:550:13:59

-I had to play a guy from Belgium

-in the prelims.

0:13:590:14:02

-I won and had to play again that day

-against my friend, Jonny Clayton.

0:14:020:14:08

-Is it difficult to play

-against a close friend?

0:14:080:14:11

-It is tough because you have

-to get into the zone for a match...

0:14:110:14:16

-..but when you're playing

-against a friend...

0:14:160:14:20

-..it can be difficult because

-you know each other so well.

0:14:200:14:24

-We had to be professional

-as we were both there to do a job.

0:14:240:14:29

-I was lucky to have played well

-on the day...

0:14:290:14:32

-..whilst Jonny wasn't at his best.

0:14:320:14:36

-From the first time he picked up

-a dart, you could see it.

0:14:360:14:40

-Obviously,

-things have changed with him.

0:14:400:14:43

-He didn't play at the full distance

-but would throw at the full height.

0:14:430:14:48

-He'd get up on a chair

-to pick his darts up.

0:14:480:14:52

-He enjoyed playing

-and it was good for his school work.

0:14:520:14:57

-His maths was getting better

-and he was always top of the class.

0:14:570:15:01

-He has been good from the start.

0:15:010:15:03

-James Richardson and Darren Webster

-were the next players...

0:15:040:15:08

-..to lose to the Fireball

-from Cardigan.

0:15:080:15:11

-In the semi-final,

-he faced a true enigma...

0:15:110:15:15

-..in the form

-of the 16-times World Champion...

0:15:150:15:19

-..Phil 'The Power' Taylor.

0:15:190:15:22

-He's the only person

-I haven't beaten.

0:15:220:15:25

-I stand behind him

-and watch him throwing...

0:15:250:15:28

-..and he has an aura about him.

0:15:280:15:31

-I've played against the likes

-of van Gerwen and Gary Anderson...

0:15:310:15:35

-..and always thought I could win...

0:15:360:15:38

-..but facing a 16-times

-World Champion went to my head!

0:15:380:15:44

-I lost because I was playing his

-reputation rather than the board...

0:15:440:15:49

-..and because I'd put myself

-under added pressure.

0:15:490:15:54

-Do you get nervous for him...

0:15:540:15:56

-..when he plays against

-the likes of Phil Taylor?

0:15:560:16:00

-Yes, I get very nervous.

0:16:000:16:03

-There are times when I can't breathe

-and struggle to watch him...

0:16:030:16:08

-..but we just keeping going...

0:16:080:16:12

-..and hope that he'll play well

-like he did this time.

0:16:120:16:16

-We all know that he can do it...

0:16:160:16:19

-..but he needs to prove his talent

-on the world stage.

0:16:190:16:24

-We're proud of him.

0:16:240:16:26

-He played for Wales aged 12...

0:16:260:16:28

-..and won the World Youth

-Championship in America.

0:16:280:16:32

-He's got something extra

-that a lot of people haven't got.

0:16:320:16:36

-You need that in life.

0:16:360:16:39

-He can definitely go to the top.

0:16:390:16:42

-What are your hopes for 2018

-and for the future?

0:16:430:16:49

-Every darts player

-wants to be the World Champion.

0:16:490:16:52

-That's what I'd like to achieve

-one day.

0:16:530:16:56

-Good luck to Jamie

-in the rest of his career.

0:17:010:17:05

-Yvonne recently met

-a very interesting lady.

0:17:060:17:10

-She recycles everything in sight

-and has turned it into a business...

0:17:100:17:15

-..that has the great name

-of Ffrili Jilli!

0:17:160:17:19

-Jill or Ffrili Jilli as you're

-known to everyone who knows you.

0:17:260:17:32

-How long have you been making

-new garments from old clothes?

0:17:320:17:38

-I've done it all my life

-as I learnt to sew when I was young.

0:17:380:17:43

-Mam made my clothes

-for my dance classes.

0:17:430:17:48

-I grew up surrounded by tweed,

-sequins and colourful fabrics...

0:17:480:17:53

-..and I want to keep that going.

0:17:530:17:56

-What inspires you today?

0:17:560:17:58

-I'm really angry

-with this throw-away society...

0:17:580:18:03

-..when people throw things away

-as they have gone out of fashion.

0:18:030:18:08

-It takes a lot energy to recycle...

0:18:080:18:12

-..so it's important for me

-to re-use things.

0:18:120:18:16

-I want to reduce the waste in bins

-and landfill sites...

0:18:160:18:21

-..and create something lovely

-that people enjoy.

0:18:220:18:26

-I started with skirts and that's

-how I got the name of Ffrili Jilli!

0:18:360:18:41

-I cycled so much

-that I'd got holes in my trousers...

0:18:410:18:45

-..so I cut off the legs

-and added frills to cover the holes.

0:18:450:18:50

-A friend liked it

-and asked me to make one for her...

0:18:510:18:55

-..and that's how it started.

0:18:550:18:57

-I've made bags, jewellery

-and smaller pieces.

0:18:580:19:02

-You're inspired by legends too.

0:19:020:19:06

-Yes, I like Blodeuwedd...

0:19:060:19:09

-..and stories associated

-with animals and nature in Wales.

0:19:090:19:15

-I'm also inspired by Welsh music and

-the songs of Gwibdaith Hen Fran...

0:19:150:19:20

-..and I've made a picture

-of the tower at Llanfrothen.

0:19:210:19:25

-There's a crow flying overhead

-with Snowdonia in the background.

0:19:260:19:31

-Your stall looks lovely so

-what are you making at the moment?

0:19:350:19:41

-I've just finished a fox

-that could sit on a pocket...

0:19:410:19:47

-..or a patch on a bag

-or anything the customer wants.

0:19:470:19:51

-I'm sure this fox will find a home

-in the coming weeks.

0:19:520:19:56

-Yes, I hope so.

0:19:560:19:58

-I like this bag

-as it matches my scarf.

0:19:580:20:04

-Yes, it does.

0:20:040:20:06

-Good luck to you in 2018.

0:20:060:20:09

-Good luck to you in 2018.

-

-Thank you and the same to you too.

0:20:090:20:11

-Alison Roberts

-from the Nantlle Valley...

0:20:220:20:25

-..is a successful dog breeder.

0:20:250:20:27

-Her bull terriers

-are famous across the world.

0:20:280:20:33

-Elin Fflur went to meet her

-and her famous dogs.

0:20:330:20:37

-People often think twice...

0:20:410:20:45

-..when it comes to stroking

-a bull terrier...

0:20:450:20:50

-..but that would be a mistake.

0:20:500:20:52

-Just like any other dog, they can be

-wonderful with the right care.

0:20:530:20:57

-Nobody knows this better

-than Viv's owner.

0:20:570:21:01

-Alison Roberts

-lives in the Nantlle Valley...

0:21:040:21:07

-..and has kept and bred

-bull terriers for almost 20 years.

0:21:070:21:12

-She also judges the breed

-in various shows around the world.

0:21:120:21:17

-Yes, it's fair to say

-that Alison adores these dogs.

0:21:170:21:23

-People think they are ferocious dogs

-but that isn't the case.

0:21:270:21:33

-The dogs have a lovely temperament.

0:21:330:21:35

-None of my seven dogs

-are the same...

0:21:360:21:38

-..but they are all lovely in their

-own little way and a bit nuts.

0:21:380:21:43

-They are unique dogs

-for unique people.

0:21:430:21:46

-I wouldn't be without them.

0:21:460:21:48

-Where did your interest

-in these dogs start?

0:21:480:21:52

-I've loved them since I was young.

0:21:520:21:55

-I had my first dog in 2000...

0:21:550:21:58

-..and had a female dog

-to start breeding and showing.

0:21:580:22:02

-The first litter was in 2006...

0:22:020:22:07

-..via Fred's father.

0:22:070:22:09

-I've also done all the exams

-so that I can judge these dogs.

0:22:090:22:15

-The dogs I've bred

-can be found all over the world...

0:22:150:22:20

-..such as Chile, Slovakia,

-across Europe and America.

0:22:200:22:25

-I know people from around the world

-thanks to these dogs.

0:22:250:22:29

-Alison needs a bit of help

-to care for all these dogs.

0:22:300:22:36

-Alison is my aunt

-and I help to walk them...

0:22:370:22:41

-..and look after them when

-she's away judging or on holiday.

0:22:410:22:45

-She has everything from a bull

-terrier mug to a chopping board...

0:22:450:22:49

-..so Christmas and birthdays

-are always easy!

0:22:500:22:53

-Hello.

0:22:560:22:58

-Hello.

0:22:580:22:59

-Oh, look at these.

0:23:000:23:01

-I can see three bull terriers

-and a sheepdog too.

0:23:010:23:05

-Yes, Precious is the boss.

0:23:060:23:08

-She's surrounded by bull terriers.

0:23:080:23:11

-Maggie is the oldest

-and her daughter is Viv.

0:23:110:23:14

-Viv is the mother of Phoebe and

-Blodwen and Elsie are out the back.

0:23:150:23:20

-Horrid Hector is in the kennel

-because he's a naughty boy!

0:23:200:23:25

-This room is full

-of bull terrier artefacts.

0:23:250:23:28

-Turn around and show us your coat.

0:23:290:23:31

-Look at that.

0:23:320:23:33

-Goodness me!

0:23:330:23:35

-Is it an obsession?

0:23:350:23:36

-Is it an obsession?

-

-Yes, I think it must be!

0:23:360:23:39

-Alison must be doing something right

-in terms of breeding...

0:23:410:23:45

-..as she's enjoyed a lot of success

-in the shows.

0:23:450:23:49

-We were very lucky

-at the World Dog Show.

0:23:510:23:55

-Fred's half-brother was the world

-winner and Fred was the runner up.

0:23:550:24:00

-Fred has retired

-because he's won everything he can!

0:24:000:24:04

-He was Best in Breed in Crufts in

-2016 and the top bull terrier too...

0:24:040:24:10

-..so we've enjoyed a lot of success.

0:24:100:24:15

-You obviously adore the dogs

-as you live with seven...

0:24:150:24:19

-..but you also have the ashes

-of the ones who have died.

0:24:190:24:23

-Yes, and they are coming with me

-when I go!

0:24:230:24:26

-They have been cremated

-and the dogs can join me when I go.

0:24:260:24:30

-It's true that we don't all

-like the same thing.

0:24:320:24:35

-I have to admit

-to being a little nervous...

0:24:350:24:38

-..about meeting

-these bull terriers...

0:24:380:24:41

-..despite my love of dogs...

0:24:420:24:44

-..but I've learnt my lesson

-to not judge by appearances!

0:24:440:24:49

-It's time for break

-but in a few moments...

0:24:530:24:56

-..you can learn

-all about the vegan diet.

0:24:560:24:59

-We mark 100 years

-since the start of the RAF.

0:24:590:25:03

-There's also news of a project

-called Knit and Natter.

0:25:040:25:08

-Join me in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

0:25:220:25:23

-A vegan diet is when you

-do not eat meat or dairy products.

0:25:230:25:29

-Many experts believe that this diet

-is incredibly beneficial.

0:25:290:25:33

-Sarah Philpott can tell us more.

0:25:340:25:36

-Being a vegan

-is similar to being a vegetarian....

0:25:380:25:41

-..but you don't eat cheese,

-any dairy product, eggs or honey.

0:25:410:25:47

-You eat things that are not

-animal-derived ingredients...

0:25:470:25:52

-..so you eat a lot

-of vegetables, seeds and grains.

0:25:520:25:56

-There's a lot of unusual foods.

0:25:560:25:59

-All of it is natural produce.

0:25:590:26:01

-All of it is natural produce.

-

-Yes, exactly.

0:26:010:26:03

-When did you become a vegan?

0:26:030:26:05

-It was about two

-or two and a half years ago.

0:26:050:26:09

-Was there a catalyst

-to your decision?

0:26:090:26:12

-I'd turned 30

-and felt that I wanted to change.

0:26:120:26:17

-Veganism was growing

-in popularity...

0:26:170:26:20

-..so I thought I'd try

-something different...

0:26:200:26:23

-..that was less cruel to animals

-and healthy too.

0:26:230:26:28

-Is there anything you miss?

0:26:280:26:31

-Do you miss meat?

0:26:310:26:32

-I'm so stuck in my ways

-that I think I would miss the meat.

0:26:330:26:38

-I don't miss meat

-and occasionally miss cheese.

0:26:380:26:41

-I really miss having fish

-and seafood...

0:26:410:26:45

-..because they are good for you

-and have a lot of flavour...

0:26:450:26:50

-..but there's plenty of foods

-in a vegan diet that you can enjoy.

0:26:500:26:54

-You have to weigh it up...

0:26:550:26:57

-..and ensure you get

-all the proper nutrients.

0:26:570:27:01

-Yes, and you can get the required

-nutrients in a vegan diet...

0:27:010:27:07

-..apart from vitamin B12...

0:27:080:27:10

-..but I just take supplements

-for that.

0:27:100:27:12

-The rest

-is all about being cautious.

0:27:130:27:15

-In the past, it was quite difficult

-to be a vegan...

0:27:160:27:19

-..but the situation has improved

-and the provision of food is better.

0:27:190:27:24

-Yes, and even the chain restaurants

-such as Pizza Express and Nando's...

0:27:240:27:29

-..offer a vegan menu.

0:27:290:27:32

-If you want to cut down

-on your meat intake...

0:27:320:27:35

-..or try a vegan diet

-then it's easy to do that.

0:27:360:27:39

-You've brought examples

-of what a vegan diet entails.

0:27:400:27:44

-People always associate vegans

-with fruit and vegetables.

0:27:440:27:48

-There's a whole host

-of fruit and vegetables...

0:27:490:27:52

-..that you can enjoy.

0:27:520:27:55

-It's all healthy.

0:27:550:27:57

-Mushrooms are full of protein

-and there's lentils and chickpeas.

0:27:570:28:02

-You don't need to buy them dried as

-the tinned ones are easier to use.

0:28:020:28:08

-These are items

-we have in our cupboards.

0:28:080:28:11

-Yes, so it's just about

-building up your stock of food.

0:28:110:28:15

-If you're thinking about trying it

-for the first time this January...

0:28:150:28:20

-..what sort of things

-would you advise for them to buy?

0:28:200:28:25

-You can buy the basics

-such as pasta, lentils and beans...

0:28:260:28:31

-..and a lot of fruit and vegetables.

0:28:320:28:35

-Many people will already have these

-or have bought their vegetables.

0:28:350:28:40

-Yes, so it's easy!

0:28:400:28:41

-There's also other things

-that make life easier.

0:28:420:28:48

-I'm always talking

-about microwave rice.

0:28:480:28:52

-It's often on offer in supermarkets

-and easy to use.

0:28:520:28:56

-They are usually about 1 each.

0:28:560:28:58

-You don't even need a microwave

-as it can be made in a saucepan.

0:28:590:29:03

-Tahini is excellent

-and is full of zinc and calcium.

0:29:030:29:07

-It's lovely drizzled over a salad

-or on tofu or vegetables.

0:29:070:29:12

-You can also use the tahini

-and chickpeas to make some hummus.

0:29:120:29:17

-There are a lot of different milks

-on the market...

0:29:180:29:22

-..as a replacement to cow's milk.

0:29:220:29:25

-My favourite is oat milk.

0:29:250:29:27

-It's very creamy

-and delicious in porridge...

0:29:280:29:32

-..and in sauces too.

0:29:320:29:34

-This is great for a white sauce.

0:29:340:29:38

-There are also pulses and nuts.

0:29:380:29:40

-Yes, there's nuts, seeds and oats.

0:29:410:29:43

-Pearl barley is so cheap.

0:29:430:29:46

-It can be used in anything to add

-some bulk and keep you feeling full.

0:29:460:29:51

-Next, we have items

-that make life a little easier.

0:29:520:29:56

-These are ready to use.

0:29:560:29:59

-There are more and more substitutes

-that include vegan cheese.

0:29:590:30:04

-All the supermarkets sell them.

0:30:040:30:07

-This specific one

-is a substitute for feta cheese...

0:30:070:30:10

-..and it tastes exactly like feta!

0:30:110:30:13

-There are also some biscuits

-and loads of other things.

0:30:140:30:17

-Pieminister

-has released a vegan pie.

0:30:180:30:20

-You can pick up an array of

-ready meals in the supermarkets...

0:30:210:30:25

-..that are healthy and easy to cook.

0:30:260:30:29

-This year, we mark the centenary...

0:30:300:30:33

-..of the end of World War I.

0:30:340:30:37

-It's also the centenary

-of the founding of the RAF.

0:30:370:30:42

-David Lloyd George,

-the Welshman from Llanystumdwy...

0:30:420:30:46

-..played an important role

-in establishing the air force.

0:30:460:30:50

-This act was marked with a service

-in the village of Lloyd George.

0:30:500:30:55

-The Heno cameras were there too.

0:30:550:30:57

-At Llanystumdwy this morning...

0:31:010:31:03

-..people visited the grave

-of David Lloyd George...

0:31:040:31:08

-..and saw the opening of a garden

-to mark his contribution to the RAF.

0:31:080:31:13

-There was a flypast after

-the children welcomed the visitors.

0:31:140:31:18

-It's an honour

-to welcome you to Llanystumdwy.

0:31:190:31:22

-The pupils at Ysgol Llanystumdwy are

-learning about David Lloyd George.

0:31:220:31:27

-It's an important day as

-David Lloyd George formed the RAF.

0:31:270:31:32

-Rhiannon and I welcomed the people

-to Llanystumdwy.

0:31:320:31:37

-I'll remember meeting

-all the dignitaries...

0:31:370:31:41

-..and seeing the RAF plane

-flying low over Llanystumdwy.

0:31:410:31:46

-He was the Prime Minister

-who founded the RAF a century ago.

0:31:470:31:53

-This was the first independent

-air force in the world.

0:31:530:31:57

-It showed bravery in his decisions

-and a specific vision.

0:31:570:32:02

-Independent air forces

-are now found across the world...

0:32:020:32:06

-..so this was a brave decision

-and that is why we are here today.

0:32:060:32:11

-People think of the RAF

-as being a national institution.

0:32:110:32:17

-On every visit to Llanystumdwy...

0:32:170:32:20

-..and more specifically Highgate...

0:32:210:32:24

-..I remember that this came from a

-man who was raised in this village.

0:32:240:32:29

-He lived in Highgate Cottage.

0:32:290:32:31

-It's interesting for the family.

0:32:320:32:34

-The highlight was the opening of

-a garden and unveiling a memorial...

0:32:340:32:40

-..by Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas.

0:32:400:32:43

-There were early developments

-in terms of using planes.

0:32:440:32:50

-Lloyd George passed an act

-very quickly through Parliament...

0:32:500:32:56

-..to ensure the United Kingdom

-had the capacity...

0:32:560:33:01

-..to protect itself

-at the end of World War I.

0:33:010:33:06

-This led to the peace treaty.

0:33:060:33:10

-It's great to see

-so many local lads here, Jason.

0:33:100:33:13

-Yes, it is.

0:33:130:33:15

-Where are you based?

0:33:150:33:16

-I work for the Mountain Rescue

-Service at RAF Valley on Anglesey.

0:33:170:33:23

-How is your service involved

-with the RAF?

0:33:230:33:26

-The main task of this service...

0:33:260:33:28

-..is to respond to any air rescues

-on the mountains.

0:33:290:33:33

-What will you remember

-about today's event?

0:33:330:33:36

-It's important to remember that

-Lloyd George is from Llanystumdwy.

0:33:370:33:41

-It's on our doorstep

-and I'm very proud of that fact.

0:33:410:33:47

-The fact that the RAF

-has made this decision...

0:33:490:33:54

-..to acknowledge David Lloyd George

-for their creation...

0:33:540:34:00

-..is very special.

0:34:000:34:02

-We can also remember the

-incredible losses of World War I.

0:34:020:34:06

-We should remember the negative but

-also the constructive elements...

0:34:070:34:12

-..of World War I.

0:34:120:34:14

-Yes, it's very important

-to remember these things.

0:34:250:34:28

-A number of knitting groups

-meet all over the country...

0:34:290:34:33

-..to knit all sorts of things.

0:34:330:34:35

-One group meets at Plas-y-Dderwen

-Care Home in Carmarthen...

0:34:360:34:41

-..to create something very special.

0:34:410:34:43

-The Heno cameras

-went to hear about it.

0:34:430:34:46

-Plas-Y-Dderwen is a centre

-that cares for 70 individuals.

0:34:560:35:00

-Most of our residents

-suffer from dementia.

0:35:000:35:04

-We are knitting a scarf

-that's 1,185-feet-long...

0:35:070:35:12

-..that will stretch

-around the building.

0:35:120:35:16

-It's the Knit and Natter Group.

0:35:170:35:19

-We're asking people to sponsor us 1

-for every foot we knit.

0:35:200:35:24

-We hope to raise 3,000

-for a mobile sensory unit.

0:35:240:35:30

-It will provide

-better care for the residents.

0:35:300:35:35

-I come from the area

-and heard about Knit and Natter.

0:35:400:35:44

-I thought it was a great idea

-to bring everyone together to knit.

0:35:440:35:49

-I'm not much of a knitter and

-prefer sewing but I'm doing my best.

0:35:500:35:54

-I like the social aspect mostly.

0:35:550:35:58

-Awen does all the hard work...

0:35:580:36:00

-..whilst I'm busy being a nuisance!

0:36:010:36:04

-I enjoy every minute of it.

0:36:050:36:07

-This is part of the fund-raising.

0:36:090:36:12

-For the next part, they'll throw me

-off a cliff into a pool of water...

0:36:130:36:18

-..and it's going be very dark!

0:36:190:36:21

-They have been busy today

-and enjoyed it.

0:36:230:36:27

-It's been a very positive thing

-for the home.

0:36:270:36:31

-That's a great idea!

0:36:370:36:40

-It's time for a cuppa

-but join me in a few minutes...

0:36:400:36:44

-..to learn about St Dwynwen,

-the patron saint of lovers in Wales.

0:36:440:36:50

-We meet two brothers

-who are world champions.

0:36:500:36:53

-Linda Griffiths also has

-a very special Plygain carol.

0:36:540:36:58

-See you back here in a few minutes.

-Welcome back.

0:37:120:37:14

-Next Thursday, we celebrate the

-patron saint of lovers in Wales...

0:37:140:37:18

-..or St Dwynwen.

0:37:190:37:20

-It's the day when we're all meant

-to spoil our lovers...

0:37:200:37:24

-..but how many of us

-know the story of Dwynwen?

0:37:240:37:28

-Who was she...

0:37:280:37:30

-..and what is so special

-about Llanddwyn Island on Anglesey?

0:37:300:37:34

-I've got all the answers for you.

0:37:340:37:37

-Llanddwyn Island on Anglesey

-is a magical location...

0:37:470:37:52

-..with its golden sands,

-strong rocks...

0:37:520:37:55

-..and views of Snowdonia

-and the Lleyn Peninsula.

0:37:550:37:59

-It's no wonder that Dwynwen

-escaped here many centuries ago.

0:37:590:38:04

-Her story was brought to life...

0:38:050:38:08

-..as I roamed the island on a cold

-winter morning with Gerallt Pennant.

0:38:080:38:13

-Just like many

-of the saint's tales...

0:38:130:38:16

-..this story dates back

-to the sixth century.

0:38:160:38:19

-This is where the story ends.

0:38:200:38:22

-It starts when Dwynwen

-and Maelon Dafodrill fall in love.

0:38:220:38:27

-The story differs

-depending on the version you read.

0:38:270:38:32

-Some say Maelon wanted to sleep with

-Dwynwen before they were married.

0:38:320:38:37

-She didn't find that acceptable

-and refused.

0:38:380:38:41

-His advances continued

-and it broke her heart.

0:38:410:38:44

-She took to the water

-and discovered Llanddwyn Island...

0:38:440:38:49

-..founded a retreat...

0:38:490:38:51

-..where she remained and

-meditated until the end of her life.

0:38:510:38:56

-Ever since that time,

-Welsh lovers have come here...

0:38:560:39:00

-..to pray and express their love

-for each other.

0:39:000:39:04

-That's how Llanddwyn

-became so important to lovers.

0:39:040:39:08

-You can find traces of Dwynwen's

-existence all over the island.

0:39:080:39:14

-Lovers continue to go

-on a pilgrimage to the island.

0:39:140:39:18

-The remains of the church suggest

-this was the site of a monastery.

0:39:200:39:25

-In the sixth century, Dwynwen's

-story became more popular...

0:39:250:39:30

-..and people came here

-on a pilgrimage

0:39:300:39:33

-Visitors left offerings so the area

-became wealthy and built a church.

0:39:330:39:38

-There's a well in the church

-and another in the rocks.

0:39:380:39:42

-It's thought that if two lovers

-look into the well together...

0:39:420:39:47

-..the direction at which

-the eels are swimming...

0:39:470:39:51

-..depicts the path of the romance

-of the pair gazing into the water.

0:39:510:39:56

-Love is alive and well

-on the island of Llanddwyn all year.

0:40:000:40:06

-It's one of the most popular sites

-to get engaged in North Wales...

0:40:060:40:12

-..if not the whole of Wales!

0:40:120:40:15

-I know of a few couples

-who have got engaged on the island.

0:40:150:40:19

-It's too cold today...

0:40:200:40:21

-..but I'm sure it's ideal for lovers

-on a sunny, spring day.

0:40:210:40:26

-Many relationships have started

-and developed on Llanddwyn Island.

0:40:260:40:31

-Long may that continue!

0:40:310:40:33

-Yes, romance is thriving

-on Llanddwyn Island.

0:40:390:40:44

-I've got enough time

-to jump in the car, drive home...

0:40:440:40:48

-..and spend the afternoon

-with my wife.

0:40:480:40:51

-Where can I get flowers?

0:40:510:40:52

-Do they sell flowers on the A470?

0:40:530:40:56

-Don't forget about St Dwynwen's Day

-on Thursday or you'll be in trouble!

0:41:000:41:06

-We're still at the start

-of a brand-new year...

0:41:060:41:10

-..and we continue to meet

-those new faces...

0:41:100:41:13

-..who will leave their mark on sport

-in Wales and further afield.

0:41:130:41:18

-Today, Rhodri Gomer

-hears about a lesser-known sport.

0:41:180:41:23

-It's a cold

-and miserable winter's night...

0:41:280:41:31

-..at the Pontargothi Village Hall.

0:41:310:41:34

-This might not be

-the sort of place...

0:41:350:41:37

-..you'd expect to find

-two world champions in training...

0:41:370:41:41

-..but world champions

-in which sport?

0:41:410:41:44

-The answer is short mat bowls.

0:41:510:41:54

-It's played

-by thousands of people...

0:41:540:41:57

-..in halls all over the country.

0:41:570:42:00

-The game started in Wales

-in the early 1990s or thereabouts.

0:42:030:42:08

-Today, the sport is popular

-all over the country.

0:42:090:42:14

-Short mat bowls is the same as lawn

-bowls played outdoors or indoors...

0:42:140:42:19

-..but it has been adapted

-to allow us to play in halls.

0:42:190:42:23

-The mats are only 45-foot-long.

0:42:230:42:26

-The main difference is the block

-in the centre...

0:42:270:42:30

-..that the bowls must swerve passed.

0:42:300:42:33

-Two brothers

-who are conquering the halls...

0:42:330:42:37

-..are Cennydd and Dafydd Howell.

0:42:370:42:39

-They have been playing since the

-club was established a decade ago.

0:42:400:42:44

-My brother, Cennydd and I have been

-quite successful in recent months.

0:42:440:42:50

-First, we represented Wales in

-Belfast and won the pairs category.

0:42:500:42:56

-It was Cennydd's debut for Wales

-and my second time in the team.

0:42:560:43:00

-We weren't the favourites because

-Ireland and England were strong...

0:43:010:43:06

-..and we made

-it through comfortably.

0:43:060:43:10

-Unbeknown to me, my brother

-entered us in a competition...

0:43:100:43:14

-..and we ended up

-winning the entire competition.

0:43:150:43:19

-It was a worldwide competition,

-not just the British Isles.

0:43:190:43:23

-Wyn, you've been a member of

-the club since it was established.

0:43:250:43:29

-You're the man to teach me

-so what do I need to remember?

0:43:290:43:33

-You're right-handed so the small dot

-should face inwards to the block...

0:43:340:43:39

-..and the larger ring

-faces outwards.

0:43:390:43:42

-Place your right foot on the mat and

-the left between the white lines.

0:43:440:43:50

-We're going to have a game.

0:43:500:43:52

-We're going to have a game.

-

-Yes, let's play.

0:43:520:43:53

-Bring it on!

0:43:530:43:55

-We're very proud of them.

0:44:000:44:02

-This club is only eight years old.

0:44:030:44:05

-Dafydd and Cennydd joined the club

-and they were taught how to play...

0:44:050:44:11

-..and left to their own devices.

0:44:110:44:14

-After one end,

-I had a slight advantage...

0:44:140:44:17

-..but Wyn wasn't going to let me win

-without a fight...

0:44:170:44:21

-..so it was the best of three!

0:44:210:44:24

-It's all about

-the placement of the bowls...

0:44:240:44:28

-..as opposed to just hitting

-the jack.

0:44:290:44:32

-You have to force the opposing team

-to make mistakes.

0:44:330:44:37

-The game is suitable

-for anyone aged seven and over.

0:44:390:44:43

-Once you master short mat bowls, you

-can play indoor or outdoor bowls.

0:44:440:44:49

-With one game each,

-it all came down to the last bowl.

0:44:500:44:55

-We need to measure them.

0:44:560:44:58

-Goodness me, it's getting serious!

0:44:580:45:01

-Oh!

0:45:020:45:04

-I know what I think.

0:45:050:45:07

-It was the measuring tape

-that had the final word.

0:45:080:45:13

-You've won, Rhodri!

0:45:150:45:17

-Thank you.

0:45:180:45:20

-Good luck to Dafydd and Cennydd.

0:45:300:45:33

-You may recall that Daf Wyn

-was in London last week...

0:45:330:45:37

-..at a very special Plygain service.

0:45:370:45:40

-The Plygain

-is a religious candlelit service.

0:45:400:45:43

-During the service, the congregation

-sings carols unaccompanied.

0:45:440:45:49

-It's an ancient tradition

-that dates back to the 13th century.

0:45:490:45:53

-The Plygain is very popular

-in Montgomeryshire.

0:45:540:45:57

-The local lady, Linda Grifiths, is

-often associated with the Plygain.

0:45:570:46:03

-She recently appeared

-on Prynhawn Da...

0:46:030:46:06

-..to perform the carol,

-Dyddiau Hyfryd.

0:46:060:46:09

-# See the untold, blessed birth

0:46:100:46:14

-# Oh, wonderful grace

0:46:140:46:17

-# He was born the Saviour

-of the sinner

0:46:180:46:21

-# Oh, wonderful grace

0:46:210:46:24

-# He was born to the Virgin Mary

0:46:240:46:28

-# Who gave the milk of her breast

-to the King

0:46:280:46:32

-# As she knelt to cradle him

0:46:320:46:35

-# Oh, wonderful grace

0:46:350:46:39

-# His wonderful incarnation

0:46:390:46:42

-# His wonderful birth

0:46:420:46:46

-# A wonderful birth and death

0:46:470:46:50

-# Oh, wonderful grace

0:46:500:46:55

-# Christ paved the way

-for our deliverance

0:46:550:46:59

-# We praise Him forever

0:46:590:47:02

-# Christ delivered us

-from enslavement

0:47:020:47:06

-# We praise Him forever

0:47:060:47:09

-# Jesus gave his life

0:47:100:47:13

-# To save a guilty, corrupt sinner

0:47:130:47:17

-# To deliver him from Satan's hold

0:47:170:47:20

-# We praise Him forever

0:47:210:47:24

-# The sinner listened to his voice

0:47:250:47:28

-# He won't forsake anyone

0:47:280:47:32

-# But gladly embrace

-those who believe

0:47:320:47:36

-# We praise Him forever #

0:47:360:47:41

-Thanks to Linda

-for that beautiful carol.

0:47:420:47:46

-That's all for today.

0:47:460:47:48

-The last hour has flown by.

0:47:480:47:50

-I'll be back with you next week.

0:47:500:47:53

-Enjoy the rest of your weekend

-and the coming week.

0:47:530:47:57

-Don't forget to celebrate

-St Dwynwen's Day on Thursday...

0:47:580:48:02

-..or you'll be in big trouble!

0:48:020:48:04

-Thank you for joining me

-and a very good morning to you all.
