-Hello and welcome to Bore Da

-on Sunday morning in Llanelli.

-Can you believe

-it's the eighteenth of February?

-This month is flying by!

-Let's get on with our programme.

-Here's what I've got for you

-between now and ten o'clock.

-Huw Fash is at a glamorous

-fashion show in Llandovery.

-I'll continue our series

-on Welsh shops around Wales.

-This week, I stop off

-at Siop Na-Nog in Caernarfon.

-Llinos Lee meets

-The Knitting Nanas...

-..who are an Internet sensation.

-Lisa Fearn

-bakes chocolate biscuits.

-Elin Fflur meets an 89-year-old

-from Bala...

-..who instructs a keep fit class.

-You can also win a TV or tablet

-in our photography competition.

-Sit back and enjoy Bore Da.

-We start our programme

-in the fashion world.

-When we think of world's

-most fashionable places...

-..Paris, Milan, New York and London

-spring to mind.

-There's another place

-to add to that map.

-It's the village of Myddfai.

-Huw Fash elaborates further.

-In two weeks time,

-I'll be at London Fashion Week...

-..standing in a long queue for

-the Julien Macdonald's catwalk show.

-Today, I'm in Myddfai...

-..for cakes and couture

-on a Saturday afternoon.

-This is the first event of its kind

-that's been hosted in the hall.

-It's attracted guests from afar due

-to its cakes, prosecco and fashion.

-Is this your first fashion show?

-Is this your first fashion show?

-

-Yes, but I have modelled before!

-However, that was at

-Ysgol Pantycelyn, 25 years ago.

-Lian managed to attract

-a group of creative...

-..and unique Welsh designers.

-I wanted to create a new collection.

-I'm always inspired by my local area

-so I wanted to host a local show.

-Despite the range of clothes...

-..the countryside was a consistent

-theme for several of the designers.

-I've been inspired by our farm.

-Therefore, I've used a map of our

-fields and included their names.

-Designers from the countryside

-aren't publicized very often...

-..so it's important to host events

-like this to showcase our work.

-It's not something that's familiar

-to the locals.

-It's a change for our community

-and all our farmers.

-Julia Davies is another designer

-that uses local materials...

-..and she comes

-from an agricultural background.

-I'm currently doing

-my Masters Degree at Hereford.

-I work from home by weaving

-and designing clothes.

-I've also started using my own wool

-from the Llanwennog breed of sheep.

-There was a mixture of local

-and professional models...

-..including Gabriella Jukes,

-a Britain's Next Top Model finalist.

-Gabriella, you don't have to

-travel far to work as a model.

-There's no need to move to England

-as there's plenty of work in Wales.

-It's an honour to be here as

-there are so many great designers.

-It's an honour

-to wear Emma's collection.

-The audience enjoyed seeing

-the variety of colourful outfits...

-..and extreme looks on the catwalk.

-Some designs are otherworldly...

-..and this is great to see

-in a rural village like Myddfai.

-There were some out-there looks

-that were very beautiful.

-You wouldn't expect more even

-if you went to London Fashion Week.

-This is a great opportunity

-for a local designer like yourself.

-It's been great for me

-and other Welsh designers.

-We're grateful to Lian Cara

-for organizing the event.

-There are so many talented Welsh

-designers including Lian Cara.

-She's featured in Vogue magazine and

-it's an honour to wear her clothes.

-Was there much

-preparation work involved?

-There was too much

-as it was like organizing a wedding.

-What a glamorous place!

-Next, we stay in Carmarthenshire for

-the county's sport awards ceremony.

-Enjoy.

-Sport can inspire and make a

-positive difference to our lives...

-..either as athletes,

-fans, coaches or volunteers.

-Tonight's event

-at the Ffwrnes theatre...

-..recognizes the positive effect

-of people in the county on sport.

-It's important for the county

-to celebrate our sporting success...

-..in terms of our volunteers

-and champions.

-We cannot forget the role of

-our volunteers in our communities.

-This evening is very important

-for our athletes...

-..but it also recognizes the role

-of our coaches and volunteers.

-A lot of volunteers

-have been rewarded tonight.

-This is very heart-warming for me

-to see all this on my own doorstep.

-On Friday, Wyn received a lifetime

-achievement award as a commentator.

-It's an incredible honour as I do my

-best to protect the Welsh language.

-Broadcasting is an honour but

-it brings a responsibility too...

-..in terms of quality control and

-I hope the award recognizes that.

-These awards have been held

-every year since 1999.

-Manon Lloyd and the athletics

-coach, Steve Perks are past winners.

-The county focuses on a variety

-of things via the council...

-..and community bodies

-who help fund various clubs...

-..to help with long-term development

-at the grassroots.

-We've seen different fields such as

-the success of young people...

-..and those who have developed and

-coached youngsters for many years.

-I coach the under 12 girls football

-team in Carmarthen...

-..and the girls football and netball

-teams in Years 7, 8, 9 and 10.

-Was it an honour to be nominated

-for these awards?

-Yes, I didn't expect it

-because I enjoy my role.

-I was nominated

-as the Volunteer of the Year...

-..for my role

-with the Penybanc Rugby Club.

-It's a lot of work to run a club.

-We have five youth teams from the

-under 7s to the under 11s team...

-..so that's about 100 children

-and 15 coaches.

-It's about running the club,

-raising funds and organizing trips.

-Marc won the category

-for Sports Volunteer of the Year...

-..and the night saw

-a number of happy winners.

-It's an honour to be here let alone

-win an award which is fantastic.

-People do so much in the county

-so it's great to celebrate together.

-I've been in a wheelchair for

-five years and had my ups and downs.

-Sport helped me to sort my life out

-and I love it.

-It's brilliant to be here tonight.

-The Scarlets coach, Wayne Pivac

-was a popular winner.

-I'm pleased to accept the award and

-acknowledge the work of the staff.

-I feel very privileged

-to the do the role I do.

-A lot of the work by the people

-here, we see later down the track...

-..when they come through schools,

-age group and professional rugby.

-Without those grassroots coaches,

-we don't have a game.

-This has been a successful

-and inspiring evening.

-It's been an honour to meet those

-people in the county and Wales...

-..who work tirelessly

-to provide sporting opportunities.

-They deserve our praise

-and this was their night!

-What a great night!

-Congratulations to everyone.

-It's time for our first break

-of the morning.

-In part two, we continue with our

-series on Welsh shops around Wales.

-This morning,

-I visit Siop Na-Nog in Caernarfon.

-We hear all about

-The Knitting Nanas.

-Lisa also bakes chocolate biscuits.

-Don't move a muscle!

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-We continue with our series

-on Welsh shops around Wales...

-..with a visit to Siop Na-nog

-in the town centre of Caernarfon.

-Caernarfon is a popular town

-that attracts thousands of visitors.

-Nearly 90% of the residents

-are first-language Welsh speakers.

-Therefore, having a Welsh shop

-is important for the locals...

-..and offers a taste

-of Welshness to visitors.

-Na-Nog is a popular Welsh shop

-on the famous square in Caernarfon.

-One of its busy managers is the

-local lass, Bethan Wynne Jones.

-Tell us more about this shop,

-Bethan.

-Siop Na-Nog is a commercial branch

-of Sain that's based in Llandwrog.

-We sell all of their products.

-We've been here for 15 years

-and will celebrate on 1 April.

-You're 15 years old,

-so will you be throwing a party?

-We don't know yet.

-Maybe, but I'm sure there will

-be a celebration of some sort.

-What type of items do you sell?

-We sell lots of cards

-for every occasion under the sun.

-There's music CDs, DVDs,

-clothing, games...

-..jig-saws, gifts

-and various Welsh-related items.

-Our customers come as far as Cardiff

-to buy a single greeting card...

-..and leave with a bundle.

-We have regular customers

-who pop in once a month.

-We're fortunate to have locals

-who support us all year round.

-We also post goods around the world

-via our website.

-What is your busiest time

-of the year?

-Christmas, obviously.

-There are other peaks such as

-St Dwynwen's Day, Easter...

-..St David's Day and the Eisteddfod.

-It's the usual events

-throughout the year.

-I like the retro items

-in the shop...

-..such as the DVDs of Joni Jones

-and C'mon Midffild.

-I recall them from my childhood

-and they're still popular.

-Jabas was released six months ago

-and is a best-seller.

-I hope the companies

-release more of them.

-Thanks for the chat.

-I'm going to browze around

-and maybe I'll buy something.

-Thank you.

-Pay a visit to Bethan

-and the crew at Na-Nog...

-..if you're in the area.

-Recent research shows that knitting

-can reduce blood pressure...

-..and benefit your mental health.

-There's a special group

-in the Valleys...

-..that meet weekly to knit

-and natter over a cuppa.

-Meet The Knitting Nanas.

-Every Wednesday afternoon

-at Coleg y Cymoedd in Nantgarw...

-..a group of incredible women come

-together to knit with the students.

-They've recently attracted

-lots of attention and gone viral.

-I'm here to meet them.

-The Knitting Nanas have been

-knitting together for many years.

-They used to meet at the

-public library in Taff's Well.

-However, the library closed and

-they were forced to find a new home.

-Jo Hodges, the college's learning

-centre manager came to the rescue.

-Since then, the ladies and students

-have been busy knitting all sorts.

-They're currently knitting clothes

-for little children in Uganda.

-It's a project called

-The Fish and Chip Babies.

-In Uganda, there are orphaned babies

-who are just wrapped in newspaper.

-When Margaret heard of this...

-..she decided to help by knitting

-clothes and sending them to Africa.

-They also knit clothes

-for premature babies...

-..and teddies to comfort children

-who have to travel in ambulances.

-They work on some

-wonderful projects.

-They've been in the press recently.

-They've been in the press recently.

-

-The Knitting Nanas have gone viral!

-They've been on BBC Wales Live.

-Mary appeared on Jason Mohammad's

-programme and knitted a hat for him.

-They've also been in the newspapers

-and appeared in online articles.

-Lots of people have marvelled

-at this wonderful little group.

-How do you feel

-about your new-found fame?

-I don't mind, I enjoy it.

-Do you enjoy coming here?

-Do you enjoy coming here?

-

-Yes, I love it.

-It's company and it's better

-than sitting in the house.

-It can get very lonely

-so we enjoy coming here.

-How is the knitting going?

-I've just learnt how to knit

-and it looks OK.

-What about you?

-What about you?

-

-I've made a flannel.

-It's fantastic and I can see

-that you're very proud of yourself.

-Do you both enjoy the sessions?

-I'd never done any knitting before

-but it's fantastic.

-It's a great way to de-stress.

-It's a great way to de-stress.

-

-It's lots of fun.

-What do you think

-of the Knitting Nanas?

-They're fantastic.

-You chat about everything,

-not just knitting.

-We discuss technology

-and everything.

-You help them with technology

-and they teach you to knit.

-Do you enjoy knitting

-during your time at college?

-Yes, I do.

-I haven't knitted before,

-so it's a new hobby for me.

-I'll be able to do at home.

-It's very relaxing.

-You love seeing them

-visit the college...

-..but what do you think

-it means for them?

-Most of them live alone...

-..so it's a great way

-for them to make friends.

-I consider most of them my friends.

-What do the women gain from

-coming to the college every week?

-They've become part

-of the college community.

-I don't think they realize

-their contribution to the college.

-I love the knitters and they've

-brought such joy to the college.

-Wednesdays at the library

-won't be the same if they leave.

-That was wonderful.

-Don't forget to join them

-every Wednesday afternoon.

-Next, we head to the kitchen for

-some chocolate biscuits by Lisa.

-I've started mixing the caster sugar

-with the butter.

-Everything melts in here

-but today the butter was solid!

-If you have the same problem...

-..place the butter

-in the microwave for 15 seconds.

-Crack two eggs into the bowl.

-You can use a food processor

-and throw it all in together.

-I'm starting to mixing the eggs

-into the caster sugar and butter.

-I've got a combination of

-light-brown sugar and caster sugar.

-Light-brown sugar will intensify

-the flavour and darken the colour.

-To a bowl,

-add some self-raising flour.

-This bowl isn't much bigger,

-then add some cocoa to it.

-Do you need to sieve it?

-Do you need to sieve it?

-

-No, as it's all thrown in quickly.

-It isn't like a sponge

-where it needs to rise.

-Biscuits are more dense.

-I'll run the cocoa through the flour

-so that we don't have cocoa lumps...

-..after it's all mixed together.

-Mix this gently

-to avoid any clouds of flour.

-I'm binding it together quickly

-as we don't have much time.

-Keep stirring it, and don't forget

-to close the lid on the processor!

-It's OK to use a food processor?

-It's OK to use a food processor?

-

-Yes, it's fine.

-You'll eventually have a mixture

-that resembles a brown putty.

-Chill it in the fridge to harden

-if it's too soft.

-All you do then is

-roll small balls like this.

-I'll put them on the board

-for you to see them.

-The larger ones over there

-are the size of a walnut.

-It's smaller than a ping-pong ball

-but not as big as a tennis ball.

-These ones are very small.

-To make them for a lunchbox

-or bite-size to nibble...

-..make small ones like these.

-Place them on a silicone tray.

-They're great

-because nothing sticks to them.

-It's great to use with children

-as it outlines the biscuits.

-This prevents them

-for touching when baked.

-You can buy them anywhere.

-You can buy them anywhere.

-

-Yes, you can.

-You can buy them anywhere.

-Some are cheap

-and others are more expensive.

-The more you pay,

-the easier it is to keep clean.

-Cheaper ones can fade on the edges.

-You don't have to press them down.

-These are fresh from the oven.

-I sprinkled them with icing sugar

-before they were baked.

-They melt to the shape of a biscuit.

-Just place the balls on the circles.

-This tray is still a little hot.

-I'll dust the balls

-with some icing sugar.

-As they start to crack

-in the heat of the oven...

-..it exposes

-the centre of the biscuits.

-The sugar emphasizes the cracks.

-Bake them in the oven

-for exactly ten minutes.

-These ones have just come out and

-need a couple of minutes to rest.

-They're still cooking.

-They're still cooking.

-

-Yes, but they're still soft.

-They look like they need

-an extra minute to cook.

-But if you cook them for longer,

-they will become too hard.

-You just need a little patience.

-I made this mistake this morning.

-I left them in the oven

-and they came out crunchy.

-They're edible,

-but slightly crunchy.

-These ones have just baked

-and are soft on the bottom.

-You can sample these ones.

-Why not?

-I didn't use these...

-..but you can also add

-some white chocolate bits.

-Add them before baking

-so that they sit on the top.

-They will soften into the biscuits.

-They're a mixture of

-a biscuit and brownie.

-Yes, they are

-and they're still warm.

-They're like a pudding

-fresh out of the oven...

-..but slightly cooled.

-I'm a person who needs two biscuits.

-I'm a person who needs two biscuits.

-

-That's why they're bite-size.

-They're lovely. Thanks, Lisa.

-Mmm! Those biscuits

-looked scrumptious!

-It's time for another break.

-In the next part, we keep fit

-with a very special group in Bala.

-There's financial advice

-from Gwion Dafydd.

-And you can win a TV or tablet in

-our winter photography competition.

-See you in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Our next stop is Bala to meet the

-members of the Ageing Well Club...

-..which seeks to improve the health

-of individuals over the age of 50...

-..by holding various activities.

-It's all run by volunteers

-and Elin went to hear more about it.

-The Ageing Well Club at Bala meets

-here weekly for a keep fit class...

-..and it's run by Olwen Jones.

-Ooh, and Olwen is 89 years old!

-Olwen, you're 89 years old and

-are the instructor of this class.

-I'm quite fortunate

-to have good health.

-I just instruct them to copy me.

-What's the name of this class?

-What's the name of this class?

-

-Keep moving.

-That's the most important thing.

-Yes, along with the socializing

-and cups of tea!

-It's so important

-at the end of a session.

-Olwen is great.

-She can do things better than us

-and we're younger.

-Gwyneth, you're 91 years old -

-the most senior member of the group.

-It obviously suits you

-as you look fantastic.

-Thank you.

-It's great company

-and there's a nice crowd here.

-It's a huge help and I wouldn't be

-as agile if I didn't come here.

-The morning keep fit class

-is followed by a creative session.

-We study famous and local artists.

-We also visit galleries

-and venture out to take pictures.

-They're able to use various paints

-and today we're working with clay.

-They seem to be enjoying themselves.

-Lisa, you're sculpting an apple

-out of clay so how's it all going?

-It's going fine.

-That looks great.

-It resembles a pumpkin

-but it's coming along!

-What brings you to this club?

-It's loneliness more than anything.

-I'm a widow and live alone.

-It's nice to meet different people

-and keep active.

-It's invaluable.

-This place brings people out of

-the house, but what about you two?

-You get to forget about things

-for a hour and so...

-..because we're so focused here.

-If you believe that,

-you'll believe anything!

-I've come here since it opened and

-I look forward to Thursday mornings.

-What makes a club like this great

-is a cuppa and biscuits.

-Yes, indeed and you need

-someone to prepare it.

-I make sure people turn up

-and put out the chairs and tables.

-I make sure people are punctual

-and keep everything ticking over.

-They come to enjoy the keep fit

-and other things...

-..but the social aspect is important

-especially for those who live alone.

-I'll take the biscuits and cuppa.

-Take two chocolate biscuits.

-I thought I could eat them all!

-I thought I could eat them all!

-

-Two is enough!

-What a wonderful story.

-Do you want to save a penny or two?

-If "yes" is the answer...

-..then listen carefully

-to Gwion Dafydd's advice.

-It's time to welcome Gwion Dafydd.

-He's joined us with

-some money-saving tips.

-There are only 327 days

-until Christmas.

-Yes, we're already

-discussing Christmas!

-You sounded keen

-when I got the call!

-It's never too early,

-especially for a Cardi like me!

-I like to keep my eyes peeled

-for bargains during the year.

-You may already have a list,

-after someone's hinted...

-..that they were disappointed

-with their gifts this year.

-People pick up ideas

-when they go shopping...

-..or they don't have money

-to buy a gift at that time...

-..so making a list is a great idea.

-If a gift wasn't an essential

-last year...

-..make a note of it

-and look in the New Year sales.

-If it's available, then great,

-but you've got nothing to lose.

-Many people shop in January

-and store their gifts.

-You need to remember

-where you hid them!

-I've done some

-Christmas shopping this year.

-I've purchased some festive

-wrapping paper and tags.

-I was shopping in Newcastle Emlyn

-a fortnight ago...

-..and there was 30% off

-Christmas items.

-I bought the whole lot!

-I'm prepared now - just as long

-as I remember where I've put them!

-Many shops have clearance sales

-at the start of the year.

-But in most sales,

-you'll find some rubbish items.

-You may not be in any rush

-and your gifts aren't essential.

-I typed clearance into Google

-and found lots of shops.

-Almost every shop

-had a 70% off sale.

-Will Google take you to

-the clearance section of a shop?

-Yes, but most of the time

-sales are well-advertised.

-I typed in John Lewis clearance and

-it was a main feature on their page.

-They're available in local shops

-such as Jackie James.

-On the high street, you can see the

-clearance signs for end of lines.

-There's nothing wrong

-with the items.

-They're just making way

-for a new season.

-I don't follow fashion

-according to the seasons!

-You have to be careful when

-you're saving for Christmas.

-Viewers may have been caught out

-with the bankrupt hamper companies.

-They were incredibly popular, but

-it's changed since what happened.

-Park is the biggest one and they

-list a warning on their website.

-You're money isn't safe

-like it is in a bank...

-..so if the company goes bust,

-you will lose your savings.

-Not many of these companies

-are advertised now.

-Maybe this is a good thing

-and you don't make any interest.

-You may save 100 a month...

-..and get the exact money you've

-saved back in vouchers or hampers.

-You might as well put that cash

-into a bank account...

-..even if it's low interest, but

-anything's better than nothing...

-..and your money is safe too.

-What about purchasing goods

-from the Far East and abroad?

-I've been buying from these

-two companies for years.

-I haven't had

-any problems with them.

-But you've got to wait a month

-for the delivery.

-So, plan now for Christmas and don't

-buy from them just before Christmas.

-This phone does exactly

-the same as an iPhone...

-..but it cost 150 instead of 600.

-I received this fitbit

-earlier this week.

-A fitbit costs 80 but this one

-only cost me 20 from Gear Best.

-It does the same thing,

-but is a different brand.

-It's the popular brand, Xiaomi!

-It's the best brand in China

-and they make quality goods.

-You get them on their website.

-You get them on their website.

-

-Yes, Gear Best and Ali Express.

-You can pay via Paypal.

-Paypal is a safe method

-of making a payment.

-You have to wait a month for goods

-but I also bought Manic Golf for 1.

-That was useful. Thanks, Gwion.

-It's your chance to win

-a television or tablet on Bore Da.

-All you have to do

-is take a wintry snapshot.

-Here are the details.

-We've been in the depths of winter

-for quite a while.

-The days are shorter...

-..but the sunshine and fresh air are

-perfect conditions for a photograph.

-Get out with your camera

-and capture your winter for us.

-celebrates Welsh Language Music Day.

-We marvel at a special quilt created

-for the Cardiff National Eisteddfod.

-We also buy and sell some properties

-with the estate agent, Dafydd Hardy.

-Don't go far!

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-On Friday 9 February...

-..all of Wales celebrated

-Welsh Language Music Day.

-Our cameras visited Carmarthen...

-..to see how the local

-leisure centre celebrated.

-# La, la, la, la, la, la,

-la, la, la, la, la, la, #

-Today, we're launching a new scheme

-of playing Welsh music...

-..in all the public buildings

-of the county.

-We hope to extend this to our

-markets, theatres and libraries.

-They already hear English music

-so we want to share Welsh music.

-It was lovely to hear it here today

-as the children hear it at school.

-It appeals to everyone

-in the community...

-..and gives us and our children the

-chance to celebrate being Welsh.

-We offer Welsh swimming lessons

-and our receptionists are bilingual.

-It's very important

-to have some Welsh music.

-I'm from Carmarthenshire and think

-it's important to hear Welsh music.

-It promotes being Welsh.

-Young people who go to Welsh gigs

-and the Eisteddfod...

-..can also hear Welsh music

-at the gym now.

-It's lovely to hear Welsh music

-being played in a leisure centre.

-This inspires people to speak Welsh

-as it appears to be cool!

-Technology has made it easier for us

-to do this...

-..thanks to the various apps

-that are available in Welsh.

-I come here four times a week.

-I've just done a class called

-aerotone that is very quick.

-Someone with a bit of go in them

-like Bryn Fon could be good for it!

-Hearing Huw Chis over the waves

-could be ideal for some zumba.

-If I heard Rapsgaliwn,

-it would be so funny.

-I'd like to use the treadmill

-with Sebona Fi by Yws Gwynedd.

-I hope this extends

-to local businesses.

-You can hear music in shops

-and cafes...

-..and I hope it alternates

-between Welsh and English.

-What a great idea!

-In six months time...

-..the National Eisteddfod

-will descend upon Cardiff.

-A lot of money has to be raised

-in order to hold this festival.

-Marian Evans from Radyr

-is busy helping out.

-She's created

-a special quilt to sell.

-Take a look this - it's amazing!

-The quilt looks colourful

-and very beautiful, Marian.

-Congratulations on your masterpiece.

-Where did you get the idea

-to create this quilt?

-Three years ago, I did a quilting

-and textiles City & Guilds course.

-I've made quilts

-for about three years.

-I did a City & Guilds course

-on quilting and textiles...

-..before following other courses

-that specialized in quilting.

-I'm part of an appeal committee...

-..and decided to make a quilt

-for the Eisteddfod.

-It had to be unique and feature

-something about the Eisteddfod...

-..so four panels in the quilt

-have themes about the Eisteddfod.

-The treble clef represents music...

-..and there's a couplet

-by Jim Parc Nest.

-There's the Nod Cyfrin which is

-the symbol on the Chair and Crown.

-The drama and literature masks

-depict comedy and tragedy.

-It's made in the trapunto style so

-is a different method to the others.

-It's raised so that the masks

-are more prominent...

-..because it shows drama

-in the fabric.

-Marian chose the colour scheme

-from the Eisteddfod logo.

-The world meets in its design

-with patterns from the 18th century.

-The Amish immigrated to America

-and set their sights on the west.

-Their experiences of travelling west

-inspired the patterns...

-..in about 1730.

-They were filled with fear

-as they crossed the mountains...

-..so have a pattern

-called Delectable Mountains.

-There's a Rose pattern.

-Young girls made these quilts

-especially for the bottom drawer.

-There's another quilt

-called the Log Cabin...

-..because they lived in cabins

-that were made from wood.

-The quilts hanged on doors to keep

-the place warm and rested on beds.

-The centre of the Log Cabin pattern

-includes red to represent the fire.

-One side of the Log Cabin faces the

-light and the other faces darkness.

-Some panels are handmade whilst

-others were made on the machine.

-It's hoped that the quilt

-raises a lot of money.

-This gem was a labour of love

-for Marian's talented hands.

-I started it in early June

-and finished it in early September.

-It was five-and-a-half months of

-continuous quilting every day...

-..but I did take the week off

-for the Eisteddfod!

-I'm sure you'll be forgiven

-for that, Marian.

-Good luck and congratulations

-on this masterpiece.

-Well done on making this

-for the National Eisteddfod.

-Thank you very much.

-Wow! That's amazing.

-Next, we head to North Wales...

-..to congratulate

-one of the area's estate agents.

-Gerallt Pennant has the story.

-Best Sales Agent, Best Lettings

-Agent and Best Overall Agent...

-..were the result of a questionnaire

-by the customers of Dafydd Hardy...

-..who has six busy offices

-in North Wales.

-There's one name on the door but it

-is supported by a hard-working team.

-The business

-currently employs 62 people.

-I've been here for three years...

-..and seen the numbers grow in the

-last two years as we've expanded.

-I've only worked for Dafydd Hardy

-for a fortnight but I love it.

-Every day is different.

-It's important to keep customers

-happy face-to-face and on the phone.

-I've worked for Dafydd Hardy

-for the last five years.

-What makes Dafydd so special?

-Everyone knows Dafydd Hardy.

-He emphasizes the link between

-the company, the vendor and buyer.

-If I had to describe Dafydd,

-I'd say he was a fantastic frontman!

-It's 25 years since Dafydd Hardy

-started his business.

-Occasionally, homes such as Bryn Mel

-Manor in Llanddona hit the market.

-It was built by the White Star Line

-owners who built the Titanic!

-I'm sure your heart races when you

-get a property like Bryn Mel Manor.

-Yes, and we're delighted to have it.

-It was originally

-a home for the elderly...

-..but the developer, Phil Austin

-refurbished it into ten apartments.

-How much would the biggest one cost?

-How much would the biggest one cost?

-

-About 600,000.

-I think we'll leave it at that.

-You won three gold medals again so

-what does it mean for the company?

-It shows that the customers are

-happy with the service we provide.

-The staff like the fact that

-their clients put this online...

-..to show they are happy

-with the service.

-You had three gold medals this year

-and another three last year...

-..so it'll be quite a feat

-to repeat that next year.

-It's a challenge and we'll do our

-best but I'm happy with the awards.

-I want to shake your hand but we're

-not striking a deal on this place.

-We'll wait and see.

-We'll wait and see.

-

-Congratulations to you, Dafydd.

-We conclude this morning's Bore Da

-with a song called Awr Cyn y Wawr...

-..by the young Bro Ogwr singer,

-Gracie Richards.

-Enjoy.

-# The morning has gone

-and I'm still waiting for you

-# Your eyes are shut

-and there's nothing

-# Music is playing in the background

-# Waiting for you

-to wake from your dream

-# The flowers have been growing

-for an hour

-# The stars have gone

-and the trees have died

-# I'm still waiting for you

-# You said that we'd start the day

-an hour before dawn

-# Nobody has brought the night

-to an end

-# You said that we'd start the day

-an hour before dawn

-# Nobody has brought the night

-to an end

-# Counting the number of days

-that this has happened

-# Counting the number of days

-that I've wasted waiting

-# For you #

-Wow! What a fantastic voice.

-That's all from me this morning.

-Enjoy the rest of your weekend

-and the coming week.

-A very good morning to you all.
