-Hello and welcome

-to another edition of Bore Da...

0:00:170:00:21

-..on the first weekend of February.

0:00:220:00:25

-Yes, February has arrived already!

0:00:250:00:28

-We won't hang around

-and let's get on with the programme.

0:00:280:00:32

-Between now and 10.00am...

0:00:320:00:34

-..I meet the Porthcawl

-Welsh Learners' Choir.

0:00:340:00:38

-Valentine's Day is on the horizon...

0:00:380:00:41

-..so we hear some Wales's

-most romantic love stories.

0:00:410:00:45

-There's a lesson

-on playing the ukulele.

0:00:460:00:49

-Marion Fenner has beauty advice

-for expectant mothers.

0:00:490:00:54

-We close the doors

-of the post office in Bwlchllan.

0:00:540:00:59

-There's also a beautiful song...

0:00:590:01:01

-..from the young and talented,

-Greta Isaac from Cowbridge.

0:01:020:01:06

-Sit back

-and enjoy the next hour with me.

0:01:070:01:11

-Welcome, once again, to Bore Da.

0:01:110:01:13

-We start the programme

-in the seaside town of Porthcawl.

0:01:190:01:23

-A few years ago, the area started

-a new choir for Welsh learners.

0:01:230:01:28

-It's going

-from strength to strength.

0:01:290:01:31

-They are preparing to compete in

-this year's National Eisteddfod...

0:01:310:01:36

-..and are looking for new members.

0:01:360:01:39

-# Oh, our hearts are very sore #

0:01:390:01:42

-The Porthcawl Welsh Learners' Choir

-formed in 2016.

0:01:430:01:47

-In that year, they competed for

-the first time in the Eisteddfod...

0:01:480:01:52

-..and finished in third...

0:01:530:01:54

-..and the singing continues!

0:01:550:01:57

-And...

0:01:570:01:59

-# Out to the fields

-and the sound... #

0:01:590:02:02

-I had the idea of forming a choir

-or singing group.

0:02:020:02:08

-They could compete in the Welsh

-learners regional Eisteddfod.

0:02:080:02:12

-We sounded like a choir

-after the first rehearsal!

0:02:130:02:17

-We did go to that Eisteddfod.

0:02:170:02:20

-After the Eisteddfod, a lady

-called Mrs Griffiths approached me.

0:02:200:02:25

-I think she was a talent scout!

0:02:250:02:27

-She asked if we would compete at

-the Abergavenny National Eisteddfod.

0:02:280:02:33

-I said, "Yes,"

-before even asking the choir.

0:02:330:02:37

-We carried on

-and are now a proper choir.

0:02:370:02:41

-# You look at my picture

-with sympathy #

0:02:410:02:47

-I've been learning Welsh

-for about three years.

0:02:470:02:51

-I came here without being able

-to speak a word of Welsh.

0:02:520:02:57

-We now sing together as a choir.

0:02:580:03:02

-I love singing...

0:03:030:03:05

-..so I jumped at the chance to come

-to the rehearsals of the choir.

0:03:060:03:11

-I really enjoy singing...

0:03:120:03:13

-..and like being able

-to use my Welsh language.

0:03:140:03:17

-Singing in Welsh

-is very heart-warming.

0:03:180:03:22

-It makes chatting

-with other members of the choir...

0:03:220:03:27

-..something far more natural.

0:03:270:03:30

-It isn't like being in a classroom.

0:03:300:03:34

-And this is what I'm asking.

0:03:340:03:37

-Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.

0:03:370:03:39

-Are you still looking

-for new members?

0:03:400:03:42

-Yes, and we need some men because we

-haven't got enough men in the choir.

0:03:430:03:48

-There's a warm welcome to any man

-watching the programme to join us.

0:03:480:03:53

-You must frighten them.

0:03:530:03:55

-Yes, I'm very scary!

0:03:550:03:57

-You were very successful

-at the Eisteddfod in the past...

0:03:590:04:03

-..and finished third.

0:04:040:04:05

-Yes, it was great because

-we're the youngest choir in Wales...

0:04:060:04:10

-..or the newest choir in Wales!

0:04:110:04:13

-Are you hoping to go one better

-this time?

0:04:150:04:19

-Well...

0:04:190:04:20

-Or two times better!

0:04:200:04:22

-It would be great to make it to the

-stage and sing live on television.

0:04:220:04:27

-We're very confident now...

0:04:270:04:29

-..and we found some inspiration

-from competing...

0:04:290:04:33

-..and are looking forward

-to competing in Cardiff in August.

0:04:340:04:38

-If we reach the stage...

0:04:380:04:41

-..then we will be very happy!

0:04:420:04:44

-We hope to either finish

-first or second.

0:04:440:04:49

-# The right to live? #

0:04:500:04:56

-Good luck to them in the future...

0:04:590:05:01

-..and thank you

-for the warm welcome.

0:05:020:05:04

-A week and a half ago, the whole of

-Wales celebrated St Dwynwen's Day.

0:05:050:05:11

-It's also Valentine's Day

-in ten days!

0:05:110:05:14

-The Heno cameras roamed Wales...

0:05:140:05:17

-..in search

-of some romantic love stories.

0:05:170:05:20

-Let's hear a few of them.

0:05:200:05:22

-Danny and I met

-at Pontyberem Fair in 1957.

0:05:270:05:33

-# Darling, darling,

-darling don't leave me #

0:05:330:05:36

-Llinos and I met seven years ago

-in a bar in town.

0:05:370:05:42

-# Darling, give me a kiss #

0:05:420:05:44

-Eighteen months ago, we decided

-to get married on 3 November.

0:05:440:05:49

-# You're the one for me #

0:05:490:05:52

-To be honest, I fancied Danny.

0:05:520:05:54

-To be honest, I fancied Danny.

-

-Yes, that's right.

0:05:540:05:56

-I wasn't interested in women

-at all...

0:05:560:05:59

-..until I had one chasing me!

0:05:590:06:02

-She's still here, 61 years later.

0:06:020:06:06

-We got married on New Year's Eve.

0:06:080:06:10

-That's about 25 days ago now so

-being married is still new to us.

0:06:110:06:17

-I had to come out

-but Emyr was already openly gay.

0:06:170:06:21

-It was great to have

-all the family there.

0:06:210:06:24

-Everybody was

-more than happy for us...

0:06:240:06:27

-..and treated us

-like any other couple.

0:06:270:06:30

-It was lovely to get married

-just like anybody else.

0:06:300:06:34

-All our family was there

-and happy too.

0:06:340:06:37

-We wanted to prove that we're happy

-together and we'll stay together.

0:06:370:06:42

-Yes, let's hope so!

0:06:420:06:44

-We were together for six weeks

-before Danny and I got engaged.

0:06:450:06:50

-I told my parents...

0:06:510:06:52

-..but my father said it was

-too early and told us to wait.

0:06:520:06:57

-I had saved 10 to buy a ring...

0:06:570:07:00

-..so I bought the ring

-and knew I was safe.

0:07:010:07:04

-You thought so!

0:07:040:07:05

-Everybody says that

-it's the best day of your life...

0:07:060:07:09

-..and I totally agree with that.

0:07:100:07:12

-I'm glad that we saved up

-for our dream wedding.

0:07:130:07:16

-It was great to be surrounded

-by family and friends...

0:07:160:07:20

-..and celebrate together.

0:07:200:07:23

-We've been together for 61 years

-and married for 57 years.

0:07:230:07:27

-It's our diamond wedding anniversary

-in three years.

0:07:270:07:31

-I still have my wedding dress.

0:07:310:07:34

-We're lucky to have each other...

0:07:380:07:41

-..and always go everywhere together.

0:07:410:07:45

-Llinos is at work...

0:07:460:07:47

-..so I should be planning

-our St Dwynwen's Day.

0:07:480:07:52

-I might take her for a meal

-followed by the cinema.

0:07:520:07:56

-I hope I'll get some flowers.

0:07:570:07:59

-OK?

0:07:590:08:00

-I'll have to go to the

-petrol station to get some!

0:08:010:08:04

-St Dwynwen's Day is much better

-than Valentine's Day...

0:08:050:08:08

-..because every restaurant

-is usually empty...

0:08:090:08:13

-..so it's important

-to celebrate St Dwynwen's Day.

0:08:130:08:17

-Come here!

0:08:170:08:18

-Thank you, I enjoyed that.

0:08:200:08:22

-That's your first kiss in months.

0:08:220:08:24

-No, it's the first kiss today!

0:08:240:08:28

-Aww, there's some romantic people

-in every corner of Wales.

0:08:360:08:41

-Last Wednesday morning...

0:08:410:08:43

-..the Mudiad Meithrin launched a

-new resource called Speaking Hands.

0:08:430:08:48

-The resource aims to promote the

-language of the deaf community...

0:08:480:08:53

-..using the British

-Sign Language signs.

0:08:530:08:56

-We were at the launch.

0:08:560:08:58

-Most of us are lucky enough

-to be able to communicate easily...

0:09:030:09:09

-..but it's a different story

-for others.

0:09:090:09:12

-Speaking Hands was created to give

-a voice to those without one.

0:09:120:09:18

-Speaking Hands

-is a new sign language resource...

0:09:190:09:23

-..for those people in our nurseries,

-schools and toddler groups...

0:09:230:09:28

-..to help the deaf children

-in these institutions.

0:09:290:09:32

-This is a joint project

-between Mudiad Meithrin...

0:09:330:09:36

-..Bangor University

-and the Llandrillo Menai group.

0:09:370:09:40

-We're sharing the resource on social

-media such as Facebook and Twitter.

0:09:410:09:47

-This resource is available

-on YouTube for anyone who wants it.

0:09:470:09:52

-It's something new and pioneering...

0:09:520:09:55

-..and a step in the right direction

-in the provision for deaf children.

0:09:550:10:00

-Children.

0:10:010:10:02

-Children.

0:10:050:10:07

-The project is a result of a one-day

-conference called Lend Me Your Ears.

0:10:070:10:12

-The university has held

-the conference for five years...

0:10:120:10:17

-..for those affected by deafness

-or loss of hearing later in life.

0:10:170:10:23

-The attendees of the conference

-in July made some comments...

0:10:240:10:29

-..about the importance

-of teaching children to sign.

0:10:290:10:33

-There's 3,272 deaf children

-in Wales...

0:10:340:10:38

-..according to the Assembly's

-statistics from last year.

0:10:380:10:43

-It's important

-for those deaf children...

0:10:430:10:46

-..to be around people

-who can communicate effectively.

0:10:470:10:51

-The nursery in Ysgol y Garnedd

-School doesn't have deaf children...

0:10:510:10:56

-..but the project also aims to

-raise awareness of sign in children.

0:10:560:11:02

-You've had a very exciting morning

-and what have you been learning?

0:11:030:11:08

-You've been learning...

0:11:080:11:10

-You've been learning...

-

-Sign language.

0:11:100:11:11

-You also sang a special song

-so will you teach it to me?

0:11:110:11:16

-Off you go, show me what to do.

0:11:170:11:19

-# Good morning, good morning

0:11:200:11:24

-# How are you? How are you?

0:11:240:11:28

-# Very well, thank you,

-very well, thank you

0:11:280:11:33

-# Good morning, good morning #

0:11:330:11:37

-That's brilliant!

0:11:370:11:38

-# Two little dogs... #

0:11:400:11:41

-You work at the nursery

-in Ysgol y Garnedd School...

0:11:410:11:45

-..but the Speaking Hands project

-is close to your heart.

0:11:450:11:49

-Yes, because I have a deaf child

-who is now 13 years old.

0:11:490:11:54

-She went to a nursery

-near our home...

0:11:550:11:59

-..but it didn't have

-this kind of resource.

0:11:590:12:02

-Nursery is the start

-of their journey...

0:12:030:12:05

-..and not every parent knows

-their child has a loss of hearing.

0:12:060:12:10

-I'm delighted with the project.

0:12:100:12:13

-For those people who are

-full-time professional signers...

0:12:130:12:17

-..this project

-is excellent news for them.

0:12:170:12:21

-I want more people to be able

-to sign in the Welsh language.

0:12:210:12:26

-In the future, I hope to see more

-people talking with their hands...

0:12:260:12:31

-..when conversing with the deaf.

0:12:310:12:34

-I hope this is the start

-of a relationship...

0:12:350:12:38

-..as opposed to the end of it!

0:12:380:12:41

-I hope it evolves and becomes

-a long-term investment for us all.

0:12:410:12:46

-Parents and carers of deaf children

-need more support.

0:12:460:12:50

-We won't change the world

-with Speaking Hands...

0:12:510:12:54

-..but it's an important step

-to make.

0:12:550:12:57

-Wales.

0:12:580:13:00

-That was very interesting.

0:13:040:13:06

-That's all for part one but in

-the second part of the programme...

0:13:060:13:11

-..we learn about the

-interesting history of Cardiff Bay.

0:13:110:13:16

-There's a lesson on the ukulele.

0:13:160:13:18

-Steff, the weatherman...

0:13:190:13:21

-..learns about a wind farm

-off the coast of Llandudno.

0:13:220:13:25

-You've got a few minutes

-to make a quick cuppa...

0:13:260:13:29

-..and be back in time

-to enjoy part two!

-Welcome back.

0:13:430:13:45

-Our next stop this morning is

-Cardiff Bay or the old Tiger Bay...

0:13:450:13:50

-..so that we can learn more

-about the area's amazing history.

0:13:500:13:55

-People from over 50 countries

-settled in South Wales...

0:14:020:14:06

-..between the Victorian Era

-and World War II.

0:14:070:14:10

-First, we had the English,

-the Irish and the Scots...

0:14:100:14:15

-..followed by the Scandinavians

-and more specifically Norway...

0:14:160:14:21

-..and the Italians and Jews.

0:14:210:14:23

-Next, you had people

-from the British Empire...

0:14:240:14:27

-..from Africa, India,

-Pakistan and the Caribbean...

0:14:280:14:31

-..but the Welsh and Welsh speakers

-still lived here during that time.

0:14:320:14:37

-The history of Tiger Bay starts with

-the opening of the docks in 1840.

0:14:370:14:43

-The docks attracted people

-from all over the world...

0:14:430:14:47

-..as well as West Wales,

-North Wales...

0:14:470:14:50

-..and the nearby

-Welsh-speaking areas.

0:14:510:14:54

-This is the historic heart

-of Tiger Bay.

0:14:580:15:02

-Loudoun Square was awash

-with different nationalities...

0:15:020:15:07

-..but at the turn

-of the 20th century...

0:15:070:15:10

-..a quarter of the population

-of some of these streets...

0:15:110:15:15

-..still spoke Welsh.

0:15:150:15:17

-It's odd to think of the Welsh

-being a part of Loudoun Square...

0:15:190:15:24

-..but it wasn't strange

-for the local residents.

0:15:240:15:27

-They often heard Welsh, Arabic,

-Somali, Norwegian and more.

0:15:280:15:32

-You had lodging houses

-owned by Welsh speakers.

0:15:320:15:36

-In the 1891 Census, there were

-Welsh speaking families...

0:15:370:15:41

-..and three Welsh chapels.

0:15:410:15:43

-There was a thriving community.

0:15:440:15:46

-The Coal Exchange is one of the most

-historic buildings in Cardiff Bay.

0:15:490:15:54

-It is now a luxury hotel...

0:15:540:15:57

-..but at one time, SuperTed

-was voiced in this building!

0:15:580:16:03

-It was also

-an important musical venue.

0:16:030:16:06

-Meic Stevens, Geraint Jarman

-and Heather Jones all played here.

0:16:060:16:12

-Mount Stuart Square...

0:16:130:16:14

-..is associated with

-Geraint Jarman a'r Cynganeddwyr...

0:16:150:16:19

-..and performances

-at the Casablanca Club.

0:16:190:16:23

-This is where Geraint Jarman was

-inspired by Caribbean musicians...

0:16:230:16:28

-..and reggae music.

0:16:280:16:30

-You could say that the site

-transformed Welsh music.

0:16:300:16:35

-The Welsh

-transformed world music too...

0:16:350:16:41

-..and one Welshman will

-certainly be remembered this year.

0:16:410:16:46

-This year, Ivor Novello

-would have been 125 years old!

0:16:460:16:50

-His great-uncle, David Evans...

0:16:500:16:53

-..was an elder in

-the Loudoun Square Methodist chapel.

0:16:530:16:57

-Ivor Novello's mother, Clara

-was baptised in the Welsh chapel...

0:16:570:17:02

-..and established a women's choir

-that won at the Chicago Eisteddfod.

0:17:020:17:08

-She even knew royalty.

0:17:080:17:10

-Ivor's grandfather

-ensured that his daughter...

0:17:100:17:14

-..was raised a Welsh speaker.

-Another prominent Welshman

-from Cardiff Bay...

0:17:180:17:21

-..served on the

-HMS Hamadryad Hospital Ship.

0:17:220:17:25

-Dr William Picton Hughes

-from Pembrokeshire...

0:17:260:17:29

-..tended to seamen from all over the

-world in the late 19th century...

0:17:290:17:34

-..before a hospital

-was built on land.

0:17:350:17:38

-The latest Welsh medium school

-in the city, Ysgol Hamadryad...

0:17:380:17:43

-..moves from its temporary site

-to this location...

0:17:430:17:48

-..confirming the revival

-of the language in the area.

0:17:480:17:53

-Today, the area has been transformed

-and is a real hub.

0:17:530:17:57

-We have the Millennium Centre

-and the Senedd Building.

0:17:580:18:02

-Welsh is often heard in the area

-and the new school will boost that.

0:18:020:18:07

-We'll see another transformation

-when the Eisteddfod arrives here.

0:18:070:18:12

-Those visiting the area

-for the Eisteddfod...

0:18:120:18:16

-..can walk around

-the old Tiger Bay...

0:18:170:18:21

-..and think about the site

-as thriving docks...

0:18:210:18:24

-..with the Welsh language

-at its heart.

0:18:250:18:27

-That was incredibly interesting.

0:18:370:18:40

-Playing the ukulele has enjoyed

-a recent spurt of popularity.

0:18:400:18:45

-People of all ages

-are learning to play the ukulele.

0:18:450:18:49

-The latest research claims

-that it helps to tackle loneliness.

0:18:490:18:53

-Let's hear of the benefits

-of playing the instrument.

0:18:530:18:57

-One, two, three.

-# I'm swimming in the bucket #

0:19:060:19:08

-Fantastic!

0:19:080:19:09

-This project is run by Cymydfaen Cyf

-and the O Ddrws i Ddrws group.

0:19:100:19:16

-The aim is to organize

-60 events over two years...

0:19:160:19:19

-..that helps different ages

-to integrate.

0:19:200:19:23

-This is for everyone...

0:19:230:19:25

-..and especially those

-who are feeling lonely...

0:19:250:19:29

-..to socialize at various events.

0:19:300:19:32

-There's ukulele events for children

-and people with dementia...

0:19:330:19:37

-..cookery demonstrations, digital

-learning groups and much more.

0:19:370:19:42

-# I'm swimming in the bath #

0:20:280:20:32

-We use music therapy

-and run musical activities...

0:20:320:20:36

-..with people in the unit.

0:20:370:20:38

-Singing is excellent

-as you raise your shoulders...

0:20:390:20:42

-..and your breathing

-and circulation improve.

0:20:420:20:46

-You also feel better in general

0:20:460:20:51

-The Betsi Cadwaladr University

-Health Board in South Gwynedd...

0:20:510:20:56

-..wants people to live in their

-own homes for as long as possible...

0:20:560:21:01

-..even if they have an illness

-such as dementia.

0:21:010:21:06

-I was diagnosed with dementia

-when I was in my fifties.

0:21:090:21:15

-I've been to a similar workshop

-and it's a lot of fun.

0:21:150:21:19

-We socialize with the children...

0:21:190:21:23

-..which is a lot of fun

-and boosts our confidence.

0:21:230:21:27

-Music is incredibly important...

0:21:270:21:31

-..as it brings back

-a lot of memories.

0:21:310:21:36

-# I'm swimming #

0:21:370:21:38

-I play the piano...

0:21:390:21:40

-..but have never played the ukulele

0:21:400:21:45

-It was fun composing songs

-with Alun Tan Lan...

0:21:460:21:50

-..and those people with dementia.

0:21:500:21:53

-Everyone enjoyed themselves.

0:21:540:21:57

-I really enjoyed it

-and would like to do it again.

0:21:570:22:03

-That is a very important project.

0:22:140:22:17

-Steff, the weatherman

-has a new series on Prynhawn Da...

0:22:180:22:21

-..that looks at renewable energy.

0:22:220:22:25

-Steff visited one of the world's

-biggest commercial wind farms...

0:22:250:22:30

-..off the coast of Llandudno.

0:22:310:22:34

-There's no shortage of wind in Wales

-and we've all seen turbines on land.

0:22:450:22:51

-Today, I'm at the second largest

-wind farm in the world.

0:22:510:22:55

-It's a familiar sight to the

-residents of the North Wales coast.

0:22:560:23:00

-The Gwynt y Mor

-Offshore Wind Farm...

0:23:070:23:09

-..sits prominently

-on the coast of Llandudno.

0:23:090:23:13

-There's 160 turbines in a space

-of 80-square-kilometres.

0:23:130:23:17

-It's annual output is enough to

-power a third of the homes in Wales.

0:23:170:23:21

-The Gwynt y Mor Offshore Wind Farm

-is a 2 billion project.

0:23:220:23:26

-Wales received 90 million worth

-of investment...

0:23:260:23:32

-..during the building work.

0:23:320:23:34

-The work started in 2012...

0:23:350:23:38

-..and it took about three years

-to construct the site.

0:23:380:23:42

-The first turbine started turning...

0:23:440:23:47

-..and generating energy in 2014.

0:23:480:23:52

-We're approaching the wind farm

-after an hour on the rough seas.

0:23:570:24:03

-The turbines are massive and

-stand at 100m and weigh 700 tonnes.

0:24:030:24:08

-They are built in Denmark and

-delivered via a tanker to Mostyn...

0:24:100:24:16

-..and arrive in pieces, namely

-the tower, inner cell and blades.

0:24:160:24:21

-They are constructed on land

-and taken to the wind farm.

0:24:210:24:25

-When did it start and

-how long did it take to complete?

0:24:250:24:29

-It took two years.

0:24:290:24:31

-The tipis and monopiles

-were built first...

0:24:310:24:36

-..and the turbines themselves

-were installed in 24 hours.

0:24:360:24:40

-How does wind energy

-produce electricity?

0:24:410:24:44

-The wind forces the blades

-to turn a gearbox and generator.

0:24:440:24:49

-Cables run down the turbine...

0:24:500:24:53

-..and connect

-to an offshore substation.

0:24:530:24:57

-It's pushed into larger cables...

0:24:570:25:00

-..that are connected to the

-onshore substation at St Asaph...

0:25:010:25:05

-..before entering the grid.

0:25:050:25:07

-Back on dry land...

0:25:090:25:11

-..the turbines are monitored

-by engineers for 24 hours a day.

0:25:110:25:17

-This is the monitoring centre

-and you can see everything here.

0:25:190:25:24

-We can see the pontoon, the boats

-and the Wirral in the distance...

0:25:240:25:30

-..whilst the wind turbines

-can be seen from the other window.

0:25:300:25:35

-When do you decide

-to switch the turbines on?

0:25:350:25:39

-We try to keep them turning

-for as long as possible...

0:25:400:25:44

-..so seven days a week and 24 hours

-a day and 365 days a year...

0:25:440:25:48

-..to get as much production

-from them as possible.

0:25:490:25:53

-What's the best weather for getting

-the most energy from the turbines?

0:25:530:25:59

-The ideal is dry weather

-with winds of 30mph.

0:25:590:26:03

-It would be great to have that

-all the time.

0:26:030:26:07

-They turn themselves off at 55mph as

-that's the strongest they can take.

0:26:070:26:13

-What speed do the propellers

-on the turbines reach?

0:26:130:26:17

-It can be 186mph on the tip...

0:26:170:26:21

-..with 15rpm on the shaft itself.

0:26:210:26:26

-Some think wind farms spoil the

-landscape but this one is amazing...

0:26:290:26:35

-..from its construction,

-engineering and the technology.

0:26:350:26:40

-For a green future, we should make

-the most of this renewable energy...

0:26:410:26:45

-..and all the other resources

-in Wales.

0:26:460:26:48

-That was very interesting.

0:26:560:26:58

-There's definitely enough wind

-in Wales!

0:26:580:27:01

-That's all for now.

0:27:010:27:04

-In a moment, Marion Fenner has

-useful advice for pregnant women.

0:27:040:27:10

-Mari Grug visits the

-Ynyshir Restaurant in Machynlleth.

0:27:100:27:15

-We also close the doors of one

0:27:330:27:35

-Next, we have some

-beauty advice for you...

0:27:350:27:38

-..and expectant mothers

-should listen carefully!

0:27:380:27:42

-Are there certain products expectant

-mothers should avoid, Marion?

0:27:420:27:48

-A fortnight ago, I discussed retinol

-as an anti-ageing product.

0:27:480:27:54

-Retinol is one of the things

-you should avoid during a pregnancy.

0:27:540:27:59

-Avoid vitamin A and retinol.

0:27:590:28:02

-There are

-also some essential oils...

0:28:020:28:06

-..such as rosemary and thyme.

0:28:070:28:09

-They should be avoided too.

0:28:090:28:11

-There is a list and people should

-study that list of essential oils.

0:28:120:28:17

-Lavender and lemon are fine.

0:28:170:28:20

-Checking the list

-will give you peace of mind.

0:28:200:28:24

-When are you due, Lowri?

0:28:240:28:26

-It's about two and a half weeks.

0:28:260:28:29

-That isn't very long!

0:28:290:28:30

-How are you feeling?

0:28:300:28:32

-How are you feeling?

-

-I'm fine at the moment!

0:28:320:28:34

-You've been using various oils

-and products in recent months.

0:28:340:28:39

-What have you been using?

0:28:390:28:41

-I've tended to stick to familiar

-names such as the Bio-Oil...

0:28:420:28:47

-..as I know that those products

-are suitable for pregnant women.

0:28:480:28:53

-I have checked products

-to make sure they are suitable.

0:28:530:28:57

-There are products

-I've used in the past...

0:28:570:29:01

-..but can't use them anymore

-as they affect my skin.

0:29:020:29:05

-My skin is much more sensitive.

0:29:050:29:08

-Yes, there will be

-a heightened sensitivity...

0:29:080:29:12

-..so you should do a patch test

-before using some of the products.

0:29:120:29:17

-Test some of the product

-on a small part of your arm...

0:29:170:29:21

-..and see how the skin reacts.

0:29:210:29:23

-What do we have here, Marion?

0:29:230:29:25

-We start with the Bio-Oil

-which is a very popular brand.

0:29:260:29:30

-A lot of women

-know the name of Bio-Oil.

0:29:310:29:33

-It adds a lot of moisture

-to the skin.

0:29:330:29:36

-When you start using it...

0:29:360:29:38

-..it helps to reduce the possibility

-of stretch marks forming.

0:29:390:29:43

-There's an old favourite next to it.

0:29:430:29:46

-Yes, and everybody knows Palmer's.

0:29:460:29:48

-This is excellent

-for adding moisture to the skin.

0:29:490:29:52

-Moisture helps

-to keep the skin supple.

0:29:520:29:56

-It contains vitamin E

-which is fine to have...

0:29:560:30:00

-..aloe vera, almond oil

-and shea butter.

0:30:000:30:03

-It helps the elastin and collagen

-in the skin to stretch.

0:30:040:30:09

-Next, we have Pregnacare.

0:30:100:30:12

-It differs from the other products

-as it's more of a cream.

0:30:120:30:16

-It contains evening primrose.

0:30:170:30:19

-This is a lovely product that can

-be used after giving birth too.

0:30:190:30:24

-It helps the skin

-to return to its natural shape.

0:30:240:30:28

-Are there are enough products out

-there for expectant mothers, Lowri?

0:30:290:30:34

-Yes, they know the market.

0:30:350:30:37

-If you market something

-with a pregnancy label...

0:30:370:30:41

-..then expectant mothers

-will make a beeline for it!

0:30:410:30:45

-I know about Pregnacare

-as it has a range of vitamins too.

0:30:450:30:50

-I trust the brand so will choose it

-over a name I don't recognize.

0:30:500:30:56

-There's much more

-on the market now...

0:30:560:30:59

-..than there was

-when I had my daughter, Heledd.

0:30:590:31:02

-We didn't think about these things.

0:31:020:31:05

-Let's move on.

0:31:050:31:07

-The legs get tired

-and you can get swollen ankles.

0:31:070:31:12

-Your legs will feel heavy.

0:31:120:31:14

-A product such as the bemama

-helps the legs to feel smooth.

0:31:150:31:20

-They feel more refreshed

-and less sleepy.

0:31:200:31:23

-There's the old favourite

-of Vaseline.

0:31:230:31:26

-It's well-established!

0:31:260:31:29

-There's no reason

-why you can't use it.

0:31:290:31:32

-It's hypoallergenic and very pure.

0:31:320:31:35

-We enjoy to be pampered

-when we're pregnant.

0:31:350:31:39

-Will you have a pamper session?

0:31:400:31:41

-Will you have a pamper session?

-

-Yes, I hope so.

0:31:410:31:44

-Good luck, Lowri

-and thank you, Marion.

0:31:440:31:47

-Thank you, Marion

-for that useful advice.

0:31:480:31:51

-Are you feeling hungry?

0:31:510:31:53

-If not, you certainly will be

-after this next item!

0:31:530:31:57

-Mari Grug visited a restaurant

-near Machynlleth...

0:31:570:32:00

-..that is one of the best in Wales

-and the whole of Britain.

0:32:000:32:04

-Ynyshir Restaurant is a mile from

-the main road in Eglwys Fach, Powys.

0:32:110:32:17

-The mansion and estate

-boasts a wealth of history.

0:32:170:32:21

-It has seen a number of changes

-and had some famous owners.

0:32:210:32:25

-Some parts of the building

-date back to the 15th century...

0:32:250:32:31

-..when it was a hall.

0:32:310:32:33

-Its most famous owner

-has to be Queen Victoria.

0:32:330:32:38

-She fell in love with the hall,

-the building, the area...

0:32:380:32:42

-..and more specifically

-the wildlife.

0:32:430:32:45

-She loved birds and

-the gardens are a tribute to her.

0:32:460:32:51

-Another of its

-aristocratic owners...

0:32:510:32:54

-..was a man

-called William Hubert Mappin...

0:32:540:32:57

-..of the famed international

-jewellers, Mappin & Webb.

0:32:580:33:02

-Just like Victoria, he loved

-the birds and local wildlife.

0:33:020:33:06

-On his death, he left 1,000 acres

-of the estate to the RSPB...

0:33:060:33:12

-..which forms part

-of the nearby nature reserve.

0:33:120:33:18

-These days, it's marketed

-as a restaurant with rooms...

0:33:180:33:22

-..so people are primarily

-enticed by the food...

0:33:220:33:26

-..but it's an ideal place

-to escape and relax.

0:33:260:33:30

-Gareth Ward and his partner, Amelia

-now own the venue.

0:33:320:33:36

-They have won a Michelin star...

0:33:370:33:40

-..five AA Rosettes and the

-award in the Decanter Magazine.

0:33:400:33:46

-We keep it simple and use the best

-quality ingredients we can buy.

0:33:460:33:51

-I use a Welsh Wagyu from Montgomery

-from Ifor Humphreys.

0:33:510:33:55

-I would never use beef on a menu

-as you get it in any restaurant...

0:33:550:34:01

-..and it's not exciting.

0:34:020:34:04

-But when I tasted it, when I got to

-Wales, I had to have it on my menu.

0:34:050:34:10

-It is the heart and soul of our

-restaurant, this Welsh Wagyu beef.

0:34:100:34:16

-Gareth is supported by a large team,

-including Nathan Davies...

0:34:160:34:21

-..who worked in kitchens

-in France and London...

0:34:210:34:25

-..but is very proud to be

-on home turf in Gareth's kitchen.

0:34:250:34:30

-Last year was an incredible year

-and it's very exciting.

0:34:310:34:35

-All the awards

-make us feel very proud.

0:34:360:34:39

-Thelma Dawson and Mary Jones are

-some of their regular customers.

0:34:400:34:44

-We're so lucky to have Ynyshir

-on our doorstep in the countryside.

0:34:440:34:49

-It's such a magical place.

0:34:500:34:53

-What makes Gareth's food so special?

0:34:530:34:56

-It's an explosion of flavour

-and the food and service are great.

0:34:560:35:01

-We want to turn Ynyshir

-into a destination restaurant.

0:35:010:35:06

-I've seen other restaurants in these

-locations and we have the same here.

0:35:060:35:12

-It's a beautiful part of the world

-and my home now.

0:35:120:35:16

-I live about five miles away

-from Ynyshir.

0:35:160:35:19

-I sit in my garden and

-often see helicopters flying by...

0:35:200:35:23

-..and know that they are coming

-to Ynyshir.

0:35:240:35:27

-It brings glitz, glamour, money

-and celebrities to the area.

0:35:270:35:32

-We're very proud to have it

-and would recommend it to anyone.

0:35:320:35:37

-Mari obviously enjoyed herself.

0:35:490:35:51

-It's the end of an era in the

-village of Bwlchllan near Tregaron.

0:35:510:35:57

-It's post office has closed

-its doors for the last time.

0:35:570:36:01

-Heno marked the end of this chapter

-in the village's history.

0:36:010:36:05

-The parlour of the chapel house

-in Bwlchllan...

0:36:100:36:13

-..has been home to the village

-post office for over 30 years.

0:36:130:36:17

-The locals have been served

-by Polly Morgan.

0:36:180:36:23

-She's 88 but remembers the call that

-started it as if it were yesterday.

0:36:230:36:29

-Hello, Polly!

0:36:290:36:30

-Hello, Polly!

-

-Hello and welcome to you.

0:36:300:36:32

-Thank you.

0:36:320:36:33

-I had a phone call

-from Carmarthen...

0:36:340:36:36

-..to ask if I was willing

-to run the post office from my home.

0:36:360:36:41

-I thought about it

-and decided to give it a go.

0:36:420:36:46

-This was over 30 years ago...

0:36:470:36:51

-..and you were at an age when many

-people would consider retiring.

0:36:520:36:57

-Yes, but I felt too young

-to even think about retiring.

0:36:570:37:01

-I was living alone...

0:37:010:37:04

-..so saw it as an opportunity

-for me to have some company...

0:37:040:37:09

-..and it gave me a purpose

-to get up in the morning.

0:37:090:37:12

-She took it over very quickly at

-a difficult time as a young widow.

0:37:120:37:18

-I'm sure caring for the community

-helped Mam too...

0:37:180:37:24

-..so I don't think

-the generosity has been one-sided!

0:37:250:37:30

-The other sites have closed

-but there was one institution left.

0:37:300:37:36

-It was the parlour

-in the chapel house.

0:37:360:37:39

-Good morning, how are you?

0:37:400:37:41

-There was always a warm welcome

-from a friendly face...

0:37:420:37:47

-..and we'd share a few stories too.

0:37:470:37:50

-That's settled again.

0:37:500:37:52

-That's settled again.

-

-Yes, that's right.

0:37:520:37:53

-Over the years, I think the post

-office has been an informal cafe!

0:37:530:37:59

-It's also been a confessional

-to many of the customers.

0:38:000:38:06

-Very few people

-left the post office...

0:38:060:38:09

-..without having a cup of tea first!

0:38:100:38:12

-The local postman, Iwan

-always enjoyed his regular visits.

0:38:130:38:18

-Hello, Polly!

0:38:180:38:20

-It's been lovely to call

-with Polly Morgan every day.

0:38:200:38:25

-There's always a warm welcome

-with a cuppa, a spot of lunch...

0:38:250:38:30

-..and a chat.

0:38:310:38:32

-Do you want some tea?

0:38:330:38:34

-Do you want some tea?

-

-Yes, please.

0:38:340:38:35

-The Queen is on the stamps

-of the Royal Mail...

0:38:350:38:38

-..but Polly Morgan is the queen

-of the village of Bwlchllan.

0:38:390:38:43

-It will be a great loss when

-that door closes for the final time.

0:38:440:38:49

-The community will always

-appreciate her years of service.

0:38:500:38:55

-It's a very sad day.

0:38:550:38:58

-This will make quite a difference.

0:38:590:39:02

-Watching all the equipment leave

-was difficult.

0:39:030:39:08

-It was very difficult

-if I'm being honest...

0:39:080:39:11

-..but tomorrow is another day.

0:39:110:39:13

-I'll get up tomorrow

-and face the future full of hope.

0:39:130:39:19

-A very happy retirement to Polly.

0:39:260:39:29

-That's all for now but in

-the final part of the programme...

0:39:290:39:33

-..Alison has advice on the food

-we should be eating this season.

0:39:330:39:39

-We also enjoy the song, Adre

-by the young singer, Greta Isaac.

0:39:390:39:44

-I'll see you back here

-in a few minutes.

-Welcome back to the final part

-of Bore Da on Sunday 4 February.

0:39:580:40:04

-Our next stop is the kitchen...

0:40:040:40:06

-..and Alison Huw is waiting to give

-us her advice on seasonal foods.

0:40:060:40:12

-It makes sense to eat foods that are

-in season in terms of the price...

0:40:120:40:17

-..and helping the environment.

0:40:170:40:20

-Yes, and we're still

-in the grips of winter...

0:40:200:40:23

-..but there's plenty of food that

-will bring sunshine and comfort.

0:40:230:40:28

-I want to start with the

-sunny Seville oranges from Spain.

0:40:290:40:34

-These oranges

-are easy to recognize...

0:40:340:40:37

-..because they differ

-from the common orange.

0:40:370:40:40

-The skin is wrinkled,

-there isn't a lot of flesh...

0:40:400:40:44

-..there's a lot of seeds

-and are very sour!

0:40:440:40:48

-Despite all this, they add depth

-to recipes for marmalade...

0:40:480:40:54

-..so take advantage of them as

-they fall out of season in February.

0:40:540:41:00

-It's the perfect weather for being

-in a warm kitchen making marmalade!

0:41:000:41:06

-Did you use those oranges

-to make that cake?

0:41:070:41:10

-I used the juice and the zest.

0:41:110:41:13

-A lot of people

-make a lemon drizzle cake.

0:41:130:41:17

-The juice of the Seville orange has

-the bitterness you need for it...

0:41:170:41:23

-..so use the juice and zest.

0:41:230:41:25

-If you're cooking duck or goose...

0:41:250:41:28

-..you can use the juice in a sauce

-to break through the fat.

0:41:290:41:33

-It suits fatty foods.

0:41:330:41:35

-You've got another variety

-of orange.

0:41:350:41:38

-Yes, these are blush oranges

-that look quite bloody.

0:41:380:41:43

-In the past,

-people called them blood oranges.

0:41:430:41:46

-I don't think it was a popular name

-so they are blush oranges now!

0:41:460:41:51

-These oranges look very attractive

-and are full of vitamin C.

0:41:520:41:56

-Add them to salads

-because they have a lovely colour.

0:41:570:42:00

-You can have lettuce leaves

-or watercress...

0:42:010:42:05

-..a few orange segments

-and some cheese.

0:42:050:42:08

-You could use mozzarella

-or goat's cheese...

0:42:090:42:12

-..and make a dressing using

-the juice, olive oil and mustard.

0:42:120:42:18

-You've also got some broccoli.

0:42:180:42:21

-Yes, and purple sprouting broccoli

-is much nicer than common broccoli.

0:42:210:42:26

-I love broccoli anyway.

0:42:260:42:28

-This is even better.

0:42:280:42:30

-It has a very similar flavour

-to asparagus...

0:42:300:42:33

-..despite being from

-the brassica family.

0:42:330:42:37

-It loses its colour when cooked

-but has a nutty flavour.

0:42:370:42:41

-Is it cheaper than asparagus?

0:42:410:42:43

-Yes, and it's also dubbed

-the poor man's asparagus...

0:42:430:42:48

-..but is more expensive than common

-broccoli as it has a short season.

0:42:490:42:53

-It's lovely with hollandaise sauce.

0:42:540:42:57

-People might serve hollandaise sauce

-and asparagus on Valentine's Day...

0:42:570:43:02

-..so you could use broccoli

-as a sophisticated alternative.

0:43:020:43:07

-These are very interesting.

0:43:070:43:08

-These are very interesting.

-

-Yes, it's the good, old cauliflower!

0:43:080:43:11

-These dishes

-look totally different.

0:43:110:43:14

-Cauliflower is very common

-but also trendy and fashionable...

0:43:140:43:19

-..with people

-serving cauliflower steaks!

0:43:190:43:22

-Cut steak-sized pieces from the

-centre so they retain their shape.

0:43:230:43:29

-Cook them on a griddle pan

-with some olive oil and paprika.

0:43:290:43:33

-I've served it

-with hazelnuts and herbs...

0:43:330:43:36

-..but don't waste

-any of the excess parts...

0:43:360:43:40

-..that crumble off when you cut it.

0:43:400:43:43

-Roast those pieces in the oven

-with some spices.

0:43:430:43:47

-I've used turmeric,

-red onion and garlic.

0:43:470:43:50

-Cauliflower is great with cumin

-or any of the Indian spices.

0:43:510:43:56

-Eat it cold or as part of a curry.

0:43:560:43:58

-You can make cauliflower rice too.

0:43:590:44:01

-I've had my eye on this pretty dish

-with the rhubarb.

0:44:010:44:05

-It's a very pretty colour.

0:44:060:44:08

-It differs from summer rhubarb

-from the garden...

0:44:080:44:11

-..because this is forced rhubarb

-that is grown indoors.

0:44:110:44:15

-It retains its colour

-as it isn't exposed to daylight.

0:44:150:44:19

-Cook it in orange juice

-or with water, vanilla and sugar...

0:44:200:44:24

-..and it retains

-that lovely pink colour.

0:44:240:44:27

-Cook it for a matter of minutes

-so that it keeps its shape.

0:44:270:44:31

-Enjoy it as part

-of your favourite pudding.

0:44:310:44:34

-I had rhubarb crumble last night

-and loved it!

0:44:350:44:38

-Thank you, Alison.

0:44:390:44:41

-We close this morning's programme...

0:44:410:44:44

-..with the dulcet tones

-of Greta Isaac from Cowbridge...

0:44:440:44:48

-..and the song, Adre.

0:44:480:44:50

-# If your star is lost

0:44:520:44:57

-# In the dark night

0:44:570:45:01

-# Come home

0:45:020:45:06

-# Home to me

0:45:060:45:11

-# If a storm arises

0:45:120:45:16

-# Over the acres of ocean

0:45:160:45:20

-# Come home

0:45:200:45:25

-# Home to me

0:45:250:45:30

-# And if the dawn

0:45:310:45:34

-# Doesn't steal

-the brightness of day

0:45:340:45:39

-# Come home

0:45:390:45:42

-# Home to me

0:45:430:45:46

-# And today

0:45:470:45:49

-# Never lets you run free

0:45:490:45:54

-# Come home

0:45:550:45:58

-# Home to me

0:45:580:46:02

-# Let the tears

0:46:030:46:06

-# That overpowered you

0:46:060:46:10

-# Bid farewell

0:46:110:46:13

-# To all your fears

0:46:140:46:17

-# Let the heartbeat

0:46:180:46:22

-# Drift away

0:46:220:46:25

-# So you're free

0:46:250:46:29

-# To run back

0:46:290:46:33

-# As the pain retracts

0:46:330:46:37

-# And gives you strength

0:46:370:46:41

-# Come home

0:46:410:46:44

-# Home to me

0:46:450:46:48

-# When the world

0:46:490:46:52

-# Shows who you can be

0:46:520:46:58

-# Come home

0:46:580:47:03

-# Home to me

0:47:030:47:07

-# Let every light

0:47:080:47:12

-# That you see

0:47:120:47:16

-# Guide you back

0:47:160:47:21

-# Back to me #

0:47:210:47:27

-That was brilliant

-and our thanks to Greta.

0:47:310:47:34

-That's all we have time for

-this morning...

0:47:350:47:38

-..but don't worry because I'll be

-back on the yellow sofa next week.

0:47:380:47:44

-Until then, enjoy the rest of

-your weekend and the coming week...

0:47:440:47:50

-..and a very good morning

-to you all!
