0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Mam, I want to know everything.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Let's start in the beginning.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25- How and when did you decide - to learn Welsh?
0:02:25 > 0:02:30- I started learning Welsh in the - 1970s, after meeting your father.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- He was a Welsh speaker - and wanted me to learn Welsh.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- I attended evening classes, - but they were unsuccessful...
0:02:39 > 0:02:44- ..as they didn't use - everyday language.
0:02:45 > 0:02:51- After marrying, we moved to North - Wales and I did an Wlpan course.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- It was the first Wlpan course - in Denbighshire.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- It was a lot of fun, - the people were great...
0:02:59 > 0:03:05- ..and we learnt the language - that we would use every day.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- How easy or difficult - did you find it?
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Learning any language - can be difficult.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- But when I was in school, - I studied French and German.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- I felt a lot more comfortable - learning Welsh.
0:03:24 > 0:03:29- You were born in England - and raised in the English language.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35- I had a warm feeling inside - when I started learning Welsh.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- I felt a sense of - belonging to the language.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- When I was three, I lost my mother.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- I didn't know anything about her...
0:03:46 > 0:03:51- ..and I didn't want to upset - my father by asking him questions.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57- I was raised knowing - nothing about my mother.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Years later...
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- ..I discovered that - my mother was from Wales.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- This is possibly - why speaking the language...
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- ..was so natural - and comfortable for me.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- My mother might - have sang Welsh songs...
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- ..or spoken the language to me - as a baby.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- I think the secret - is self-confidence.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- When I started learning...
0:04:27 > 0:04:33- ..I was worried about every word, - sentence and the mutations.
0:04:33 > 0:04:39- I made a lot of mistakes - and you remember many of them.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- I remember us walking home - from school in the rain...
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- ..with my sister, Lowri...
0:04:50 > 0:04:56- ..and you told us to wipe our hands - on the mat when we got in.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Lowri and I were confused.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- You kept telling us - to wipe our hands on the mat.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07- You were trying to tell us to wipe - our feet on the mat.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- I've got a present for you - on Mother's Day.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- Lili! Alys!
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- Come in.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Happy Mother's Day, Naini.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Last Friday was 17 March.
0:09:58 > 0:10:04- People from around the world - celebrated St Patrick's Day.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- St Patrick - is the patron saint of Ireland.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- But who exactly was St Patrick?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- What are his connections to Wales?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Rhodri Davies has the story.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Who is the most famous Welshman - of all time?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Is it Tom Jones, Richard Burton, - David Lloyd George...
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- ..Gareth Bale, Gareth Edwards, - St David or even St Patrick?
0:10:33 > 0:10:39- Yes, believe it or not, - Patrick was a Welshman.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- The people of Banwen - raised this memorial...
0:10:44 > 0:10:48- ..and hold an annual procession - to celebrate the link...
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- ..because this is where - Patrick was born.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- Rumour has it that Patrick - was born and raised in Wales...
0:10:57 > 0:11:03- ..in a Roman villa - in Western Britain.
0:11:03 > 0:11:09- There's a lot Roman ruins in the - area so we claim him as our own.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- But why Banwen?
0:11:11 > 0:11:17- Patrick wrote a piece in Latin that - he was born in Bannavern Taburniae.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- In these parts, - that would be the Banwen Tavern!
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- I'm quite sure that he was Briton.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30- People from Dumbarton in Scotland - claim that he was from there...
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- ..and the same is true for the - people of Banwen in South Wales.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- I don't know but I'm certain - that he was a Briton.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- The truth about his birth - isn't important...
0:11:42 > 0:11:48- ..as St Illtud's Church in Llantwit - Major has a definite link...
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- ..in that Patrick was educated here.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57- This was one of the first - Christian centres in Britain.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- They sent their students out - to teach the Gospel.
0:12:01 > 0:12:07- It's believed that both St David - and St Patrick were educated here.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- Both are celebrated - together at this site.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- It's believed that he came here - to the monastery or college.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23- Illtud taught the monks - who became ministers...
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- ..and spread the Word - through Wales and Europe.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33- It's a lovely story - but I don't really believe it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- How could he have been - born in 385AD...
0:12:38 > 0:12:43- ..when Illtud established - his college in 500AD?
0:12:43 > 0:12:48- Patrick would have been over - 100 years old when he came here!
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- Do you think that this is - just another story?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Yes, I think so.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59- We do know Patrick was kidnapped...
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- ..by Irish pirates at the age of 16.
0:13:03 > 0:13:09- He was taken to Ireland - but escaped and returned to Wales.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- He was educated here...
0:13:11 > 0:13:17- ..but returned to Ireland to - teach Christianity to the Pagans...
0:13:17 > 0:13:22- ..and he was obviously successful - because he's world-famous today!
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- The celebrations in America - go beyond any common sense.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- I happened to be in New York - on St Patrick's Day...
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- ..and the procession - down Fifth Avenue lasted for hours!
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- What about the fables...
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- ..of Patrick chasing snakes - from Ireland?
0:13:44 > 0:13:49- It's thought that snakes - have never resided in Ireland.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55- The same is true for New Zealand, - Iceland and a few other places.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01- There's a scientific explanation - but it's long and boring...
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- ..so I prefer - to congratulate Patrick!
0:14:06 > 0:14:12- It's thanks to him that Ireland's - national emblem is the shamrock...
0:14:12 > 0:14:17- ..that denotes the Trinity - of Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
0:14:17 > 0:14:23- Patrick might be Welsh but Wales has - welcomed it's fair share of Irish.
0:14:23 > 0:14:29- Patrick is my husband's name but he - has never been called Paddy or Pat.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- We do celebrate St Patrick's Day...
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- ..because the Irish - are our cousins across the water.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- That's it for part one.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- After the break...
0:14:47 > 0:14:52- ..Daf Wyn visits - the luxurious Gidleigh Park Hotel.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Elin Fflur meets two sisters...
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- ..who have a special reason - for marking World Kidney Day.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- See you in a few minutes.

0:15:14 > 0:15:18- It's time to visit Dyfnaint - or Devon.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23- A Welsh chef is working at the - famous Gidleigh Park restaurant.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- Daf Wyn has been to meet him.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- In 170 acres on the outskirts...

0:15:44 > 0:15:49- "Once upon a time" is the sign - that welcomes you as you enter...

0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Tell me how you ended up - working at Gidleigh Park, Steffan.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29- Michael Caines was the chef and I - met him at Springboard FutureChef.
0:16:29 > 0:16:35- I did work experience and won - an apprenticeship five years ago.
0:16:35 > 0:16:41- He left last January and - was replaced by Michael Wignall.
0:16:41 > 0:16:47- The menu is totally different and - great but that's how I started here.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55- What's it like to work at Gidleigh - Park with its two Michelin Stars?
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- This is my first job...
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- ..and there's no better place - to start your career.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- How do your family and friends react - when they come here?
0:17:08 > 0:17:13- They can't believe it and - have seen nothing like it before.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18- My family come here a lot and - everyone who comes here loves it.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25- Steffan has recently won - some major cooking competitions.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41- ..and came home - with two gold medals.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- What sort of food did you make - in these competitions?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- I had prepared a three-course-meal - for the Junior Chef of Wales...
0:17:49 > 0:17:54- ..so had scallops, Welsh beef - and an apple and caramel dessert.
0:17:54 > 0:17:59- It's a busy lunch service so let's - see you at work in the kitchen.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Steffan and the other - chefs have a long day...
0:18:04 > 0:18:10- ..preparing breakfast, lunch, dinner - and everything in between.
0:18:10 > 0:18:16- It's more than a meal - but an experience for the senses.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- You don't win two Michelin Stars - and five AA rosettes on a whim!
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- Oh, wow!
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- What's this?
0:18:27 > 0:18:33- It's eel, apple, horseradish, - white chocolate and bacon.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Did you say white chocolate - with fish?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Give it a try.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- I've never had eel but I'm sure - it's nice to get two Michelin Stars!

0:19:07 > 0:19:11- ..like anyone from commi chefs - to head chefs.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16- Everyone brings something to the - team and Steffan brings his part.
0:19:16 > 0:19:21- It's important for me - that everyone gets on...
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- ..and puts their own personality - and ideas on the plate.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- How stressful is it to work - in this kind of kitchen?
0:19:30 > 0:19:36- Today, everyone is calm - and knows what they are doing...
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- ..but it can get very heated during - a busy service!
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- What are your hopes - over the coming years?
0:19:43 > 0:19:49- I want to keep working and - learning from chefs such as Michael.

0:21:42 > 0:21:45- That was before I received - the transplant last April.
0:21:46 > 0:21:52- We've always been close - and we also look alike.
0:21:52 > 0:21:58- We've always been close, but the - transplant has made us even closer.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- I'm thankful every day.

0:22:07 > 0:22:12- I can live my life...
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- ..and watch my daughter grow.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50- I received many tests...
0:22:50 > 0:22:55- ..and discovered I was in the - early stages of kidney failure.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45- The process is long, - but worth it in the end.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- It doesn't make a difference - to you as a person...
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- ..but it does to the - individual receiving.

0:23:59 > 0:24:03- We both know how important it is...
