0:20:41 > 0:20:44- ..after it's all mixed together.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50- Mix this gently - to avoid any clouds of flour.
0:20:50 > 0:20:56- I'm binding it together quickly - as we don't have much time.
0:20:56 > 0:21:02- Keep stirring it, and don't forget - to close the lid on the processor!
0:21:02 > 0:21:03- It's OK to use a food processor?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- It's OK to use a food processor?- - Yes, it's fine.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- You'll eventually have a mixture - that resembles a brown putty.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- Chill it in the fridge to harden - if it's too soft.
0:21:15 > 0:21:20- All you do then is - roll small balls like this.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- I'll put them on the board - for you to see them.
0:21:23 > 0:21:29- The larger ones over there - are the size of a walnut.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- It's smaller than a ping-pong ball - but not as big as a tennis ball.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- These ones are very small.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- To make them for a lunchbox - or bite-size to nibble...
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- ..make small ones like these.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- Place them on a silicone tray.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- They're great - because nothing sticks to them.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58- It's great to use with children - as it outlines the biscuits.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- This prevents them - for touching when baked.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04- You can buy them anywhere.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- You can buy them anywhere.- - Yes, you can.
0:22:06 > 0:22:06- You can buy them anywhere.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Some are cheap - and others are more expensive.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- The more you pay, - the easier it is to keep clean.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Cheaper ones can fade on the edges.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- You don't have to press them down.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- These are fresh from the oven.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- I sprinkled them with icing sugar - before they were baked.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- They melt to the shape of a biscuit.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Just place the balls on the circles.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- This tray is still a little hot.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- I'll dust the balls - with some icing sugar.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42- As they start to crack - in the heat of the oven...
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- ..it exposes - the centre of the biscuits.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- The sugar emphasizes the cracks.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54- Bake them in the oven - for exactly ten minutes.
0:22:54 > 0:23:00- These ones have just come out and - need a couple of minutes to rest.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02- They're still cooking.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- They're still cooking.- - Yes, but they're still soft.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- They look like they need - an extra minute to cook.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- But if you cook them for longer, - they will become too hard.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- You just need a little patience.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- I made this mistake this morning.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22- I left them in the oven - and they came out crunchy.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- They're edible, - but slightly crunchy.
0:23:26 > 0:23:32- These ones have just baked - and are soft on the bottom.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- You can sample these ones.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Why not?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- I didn't use these...
0:23:39 > 0:23:45- ..but you can also add - some white chocolate bits.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51- Add them before baking - so that they sit on the top.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- They will soften into the biscuits.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- They're a mixture of - a biscuit and brownie.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- Yes, they are - and they're still warm.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- They're like a pudding - fresh out of the oven...
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- ..but slightly cooled.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- I'm a person who needs two biscuits.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- I'm a person who needs two biscuits.- - That's why they're bite-size.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14- They're lovely. Thanks, Lisa.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- Mmm! Those biscuits - looked scrumptious!

0:27:23 > 0:27:27- It resembles a pumpkin - but it's coming along!
0:27:27 > 0:27:33- What brings you to this club?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- It's loneliness more than anything.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- I'm a widow and live alone.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45- It's nice to meet different people - and keep active.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- It's invaluable.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56- This place brings people out of - the house, but what about you two?
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- You get to forget about things - for a hour and so...
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- ..because we're so focused here.

0:28:10 > 0:28:16- I've come here since it opened and - I look forward to Thursday mornings.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25- What makes a club like this great - is a cuppa and biscuits.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- Yes, indeed and you need - someone to prepare it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:36- I make sure people turn up - and put out the chairs and tables.

0:28:41 > 0:28:45- They come to enjoy the keep fit - and other things...
0:28:45 > 0:28:51- ..but the social aspect is important - especially for those who live alone.

0:29:07 > 0:29:09- What a wonderful story.

0:29:12 > 0:29:15- If "yes" is the answer...
0:29:15 > 0:29:19- ..then listen carefully - to Gwion Dafydd's advice.

0:29:38 > 0:29:42- It's never too early, - especially for a Cardi like me!
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- I like to keep my eyes peeled - for bargains during the year.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- You may already have a list, - after someone's hinted...
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- ..that they were disappointed - with their gifts this year.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- People pick up ideas - when they go shopping...
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- ..or they don't have money - to buy a gift at that time...
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- ..so making a list is a great idea.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- If a gift wasn't an essential - last year...
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- ..make a note of it - and look in the New Year sales.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17- If it's available, then great, - but you've got nothing to lose.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21- Many people shop in January - and store their gifts.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- You need to remember - where you hid them!
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- I've done some - Christmas shopping this year.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34- I've purchased some festive - wrapping paper and tags.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- I was shopping in Newcastle Emlyn - a fortnight ago...
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- ..and there was 30% off - Christmas items.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42- I bought the whole lot!
0:30:43 > 0:30:48- I'm prepared now - just as long - as I remember where I've put them!
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Many shops have clearance sales - at the start of the year.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56- But in most sales, - you'll find some rubbish items.
0:30:56 > 0:31:02- You may not be in any rush - and your gifts aren't essential.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07- I typed clearance into Google - and found lots of shops.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- Almost every shop - had a 70% off sale.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- Will Google take you to - the clearance section of a shop?
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- Yes, but most of the time - sales are well-advertised.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- I typed in John Lewis clearance and - it was a main feature on their page.
0:31:23 > 0:31:29- They're available in local shops - such as Jackie James.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- On the high street, you can see the - clearance signs for end of lines.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- There's nothing wrong - with the items.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42- They're just making way - for a new season.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- I don't follow fashion - according to the seasons!
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- You have to be careful when - you're saving for Christmas.
0:31:51 > 0:31:56- Viewers may have been caught out - with the bankrupt hamper companies.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02- They were incredibly popular, but - it's changed since what happened.
0:32:02 > 0:32:07- Park is the biggest one and they - list a warning on their website.
0:32:07 > 0:32:13- You're money isn't safe - like it is in a bank...
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- ..so if the company goes bust, - you will lose your savings.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20- Not many of these companies - are advertised now.
0:32:20 > 0:32:26- Maybe this is a good thing - and you don't make any interest.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- You may save 100 a month...
0:32:31 > 0:32:36- ..and get the exact money you've - saved back in vouchers or hampers.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- You might as well put that cash - into a bank account...
0:32:40 > 0:32:45- ..even if it's low interest, but - anything's better than nothing...
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- ..and your money is safe too.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52- What about purchasing goods - from the Far East and abroad?
0:32:52 > 0:32:57- I've been buying from these - two companies for years.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- I haven't had - any problems with them.
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- But you've got to wait a month - for the delivery.
0:33:04 > 0:33:09- So, plan now for Christmas and don't - buy from them just before Christmas.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- This phone does exactly - the same as an iPhone...
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- ..but it cost 150 instead of 600.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- I received this fitbit - earlier this week.
0:33:19 > 0:33:24- A fitbit costs 80 but this one - only cost me 20 from Gear Best.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29- It does the same thing, - but is a different brand.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- It's the popular brand, Xiaomi!

0:39:03 > 0:39:06- Where did you get the idea - to create this quilt?
0:39:07 > 0:39:12- Three years ago, I did a quilting - and textiles City & Guilds course.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15- I've made quilts - for about three years.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20- I did a City & Guilds course - on quilting and textiles...
0:39:20 > 0:39:26- ..before following other courses - that specialized in quilting.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30- I'm part of an appeal committee...
0:39:30 > 0:39:34- ..and decided to make a quilt - for the Eisteddfod.
0:39:35 > 0:39:40- It had to be unique and feature - something about the Eisteddfod...
0:39:41 > 0:39:49- ..so four panels in the quilt - have themes about the Eisteddfod.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56- The treble clef represents music...
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- ..and there's a couplet - by Jim Parc Nest.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- There's the Nod Cyfrin which is - the symbol on the Chair and Crown.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09- The drama and literature masks - depict comedy and tragedy.
0:40:09 > 0:40:16- It's made in the trapunto style so - is a different method to the others.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- It's raised so that the masks - are more prominent...
0:40:22 > 0:40:27- ..because it shows drama - in the fabric.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32- Marian chose the colour scheme - from the Eisteddfod logo.
0:40:32 > 0:40:39- The world meets in its design - with patterns from the 18th century.
0:40:39 > 0:40:46- The Amish immigrated to America - and set their sights on the west.
0:40:46 > 0:40:52- Their experiences of travelling west - inspired the patterns...
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- ..in about 1730.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00- They were filled with fear - as they crossed the mountains...
0:41:00 > 0:41:04- ..so have a pattern - called Delectable Mountains.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08- There's a Rose pattern.
0:41:08 > 0:41:15- Young girls made these quilts - especially for the bottom drawer.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- There's another quilt - called the Log Cabin...
0:41:20 > 0:41:24- ..because they lived in cabins - that were made from wood.
0:41:24 > 0:41:31- The quilts hanged on doors to keep - the place warm and rested on beds.
0:41:32 > 0:41:39- The centre of the Log Cabin pattern - includes red to represent the fire.
0:41:40 > 0:41:47- One side of the Log Cabin faces the - light and the other faces darkness.
0:41:47 > 0:41:53- Some panels are handmade whilst - others were made on the machine.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- It's hoped that the quilt - raises a lot of money.
0:42:00 > 0:42:07- This gem was a labour of love - for Marian's talented hands.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13- I started it in early June - and finished it in early September.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19- It was five-and-a-half months of - continuous quilting every day...
0:42:19 > 0:42:23- ..but I did take the week off - for the Eisteddfod!
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- I'm sure you'll be forgiven - for that, Marian.
0:42:27 > 0:42:33- Good luck and congratulations - on this masterpiece.
