-Hello and welcome to Bore Da

-on the last weekend in February.

-Spring is on the horizon and I've

-got a jam-packed programme for you.

-Sit back and enjoy

-your Sunday morning with me.

-On this morning's programme...

-..we hear the Welsh language being

-spoken on a Sky Atlantic series...

-..called Britannia.

-Huw Fash has the latest from the

-catwalks of London Fashion Week.

-There's these giant Lego animals

-that have arrived in Cardiff Bay.

-We celebrate the Chinese New Year.

-The countdown to the Brecon and

-Radnorshire Urdd Eisteddfod starts.

-Yes, there's something for everyone

-on this morning's Bore Da.

-Fans of the series,

-Game of Thrones...

-..might have discovered the new Sky

-Atlantic series called Britannia.

-It's the story

-of the Roman invasion of Britain.

-There's added interest

-for the Welsh...

-..as we try to

-recognize familiar locations...

-..and hear famous actors such as

-Mackenzie Crook speaking Welsh!

-Gods, demons.

-We've invaded hell.

-So what's the mission?

-So what's the mission?

-

-Romans are devils. Send them home.

-I bet the Romans

-are lying awake now, shaking!

-If you want historical facts, then

-Britannia isn't the series for you.

-If you're worried that mountainous

-fortresses resembling Helm's Deep...

-..is on the plains

-of East England...

-..you should avoid it!

-But Britannia has still captured

-the imagination of many people.

-Britannia is quite an easy series

-to explain.

-It's like cowboys and Indians, cops

-and robbers but Celts versus Romans.

-Druids have been added

-to make it more complex.

-It was written by Jez Butterworth...

-..who is more famous

-as a playwright.

-He's brought a different kind

-of reality to this series.

-The important thing

-in Butterworth's script...

-..is the magical element

-that resembles Celtic mythology.

-Wales plays her part

-from the very first scene...

-..with glorious landscapes

-of the Gower, the Vale of Neath...

-..the Vale of Glamorgan

-and Carmarthenshire.

-Many people have

-asked about the locations...

-..and said Wales looks fantastic

-in the series.

-Let's start with Nash Point

-in the Vale of Glamorgan...

-..where we built

-a fantastic village.

-We went to the Gower to Rhosilli.

-Henrhyd Falls and Ystradfellte.

-My favourite was Llyn y Fan Fach.

-Wales looks incredible and

-there's another reason to smile.

-A lot of the scenes in Britannia

-have very wet weather...

-..but they were all filmed

-in the Czech Republic.

-Yes, that's a true fact for you.

-There's another reason

-to celebrate...

-..because some of

-the main characters speak Welsh.

-I spoke to one of the producers.

-She told me

-that she loved my accent...

-..and she wanted me to speak Welsh

-to her on the phone.

-I think she fell in love with

-the sound of the Welsh language...

-..and she decided on the spot...

-..that she wanted Welsh to be

-the language of the druids in Wales.

-Mackenzie Crook is under all

-of that make-up as the archdruid...

-..but how did the actors

-learn their lines...

-..especially as one actor

-is from Denmark?

-I spoke with three or four of them

-on the phone...

-..and met Nikolaj

-who plays the role of Divis.

-I joined him on set in Rhosilli

-which was wonderful.

-He wanted to be told how to

-pronounce each sentence properly.

-Take that tongue out of your mouth.

-The idea of hearing Mackenzie Crook

-speaking Welsh should be applauded.

-It's cool to hear the Welsh language

-in this series.

-It's wonderful to see the

-Welsh language going international.

-People view Wales

-as the lump of land next to England.

-They now know that

-we have a language of our own.

-Selling Wales is very simple and a

-lot of American money is coming in.

-When I take them to places in Wales,

-they just open the cheque book!

-There's a Welsh-speaking cast

-and Welsh locations...

-..that sells our country.

-This series fills a massive gap

-until Game of Thrones returns!

-The gods have a fate for all of us.

-Find yours!

-Wow, how cool is that?!

-It's a brilliant story.

-There's some massive changes

-taking place in Bala at the moment.

-One of those changes is the

-relocation of the town library...

-..to the brand-new campus

-at Ysgol y Berwyn.

-Young readers in the area

-are delighted.

-The Heno cameras also had

-a very warm welcome last week.

-Today is the dawn of a new era

-at Bala Library.

-We've been away from our building

-for 18 months...

-..but have returned

-to this brand-new building...

-..that forms part of the renovations

-at Ysgol y Berwyn.

-There's new shelves and many books.

-We were delighted to welcome local

-children to enjoy our resources.

-This is my first time

-at the new library in Bala...

-..but I went to the one at

-the leisure centre and older one...

-..but now I'm here.

-It's nice and really quiet.

-I'm sure children

-will enjoy coming here to read.

-Today, I've chosen this book

-about football.

-It's full of facts about football

-from across the years.

-There's also facts

-about the stadiums...

-..where people played

-and how they got into the sport.

-I've enjoyed it because my favourite

-books are the ones full of facts.

-It's half term so we have

-a program of events at Bala Library.

-Tomorrow,

-we have Colouring to Relax.

-On Thursday afternoon,

-we have Murder In The Library.

-It's actually an afternoon

-with some crime authors.

-They are Myfanwy Alexander

-and John Alwyn Griffiths.

-All are welcome and there's more

-details on Facebook and Twitter.

-Yes, there's a warm welcome

-waiting for you.

-Don't forget to find them on

-Facebook and Twitter as Rhian said.

-We leave Bala for London...

-..as London Fashion Week

-descends on the city.

-London Fashion Week...

-..is one of the biggest

-creative events in fashion.

-Every season, you see new

-presenters, new editors and models.

-New is always on trend.

-There are lots of new faces

-on the circuit.

-Adwoa Aboah was in the magazine as

-the model of the moment in London.

-She's heavily involved

-in London Fashion Week.

-She opened the event

-and is an ambassador.

-I think she's involved

-in all that happens here.

-If feels much more edgy...

-..with more street style that's

-more cutting edge than the past.

-A new face from Wales

-is the model, Gretta James.

-My first year as a model at London

-Fashion Week has been hectic.

-There's a lot of castings.

-You could have a show

-but it's a bit on and off!

-There's a lot of waiting around...

-..but ready to go

-when you're called to a show.

-I really enjoy going to castings

-and trying on various outfits.

-I enjoy seeing the looks.

-I've made a few friends too...

-..but there is the downside

-of being excited about a job...

-..and not getting it.

-You need a thick skin.

-There aren't many models at London

-Fashion Week that speak Welsh.

-I've never lived in Wales

-but was raised in Twickenham.

-My two brothers and I

-speak Welsh to our parents.

-I'm sure that avid viewers of S4C...

-..recognize Gretta's face

-from somewhere!

-I recently appeared in Craith

-as the character of Mali Price...

-..but unfortunately, I was killed!

-It was really good fun.

-What's the opinion of

-the week's established designers?

-This season, designers have

-concentrated on political messages.

-They've all launched products

-with a message...

-..so that people feel like

-they're donating to a good cause.

-Burberry supported LGBT charities

-with its rainbow stripes.

-Hyw Williams from Tywyn was at

-the Fashion Week for the first time.

-I've always known that London

-is the place to be for fashion.

-Fashion designers and stylists

-all flock here.

-I'm currently studying

-at the London College of Fashion...

-..and also working for a designer

-called Christopher Shannon.

-In the autumn, I'll go back

-to work on my graduate collection.

-This is where we showcase our work

-in the hope of being scouted.

-For students like me...

-..it's so difficult

-to get into these shows.

-We normally see the work

-on Instagram and online.

-The photographer, Al Perez enjoys

-style spotting on the streets.

-I'm Al from Menai Bridge

-on Anglesey...

-..and I'm working

-at London Fashion Week.

-My current focus of concentration

-is street style.

-I've worked in Japan,

-Seoul in Korea and Taipei.

-I've worked with the fashion brand,

-BOY London.

-I love travelling the world.

-My motivation is anything stylish...

-..or something

-that's a bit different...

-..or people who walk down the street

-with a little sass and attitude.

-I think about 50% of it

-is the clothing...

-..but the rest is down to

-something different or the x factor!

-Thank you, Huw.

-That's all for part one

-but in part two...

-..we hear about

-the incredible Lego safari...

-..that has arrived in Cardiff Bay.

-The chef, Dan Williams

-rustles up a chilli in the kitchen.

-We count down the days...

-..until the Urdd Eisteddfod

-visits Llanelwedd.

-Don't move a muscle!

-.

-Welcome back.

-If you've visited

-Cardiff Bay recently...

-..you will have noticed the amazing

-Lego safari that is in the area.

-Today is your last chance

-if you haven't seen the safari.

-If you're sitting at home

-in South Wales at the moment...

-..how about taking

-a last-minute trip to Cardiff Bay...

-..to enjoy this amazing masterpiece?

-The word Lego is formed from

-the Danish phrase of "leg godt"...

-..which means "play well."

-It's the perfect description

-of Lego.

-Who hasn't spent hours building

-and creating with these tiny bricks?

-For 80 years, it's been a favourite

-amongst adults and children.

-It's amazing what you can make

-with these colourful blocks!

-What about twelve safari animals?

-That's what you'll find

-in Cardiff Bay...

-..and every one of them

-is made from Lego.

-It's amazing!

-There's always something to see in

-Mermaid Quay in the school holidays.

-The pupils of Ysgol Sant Baruc

-in Barry enjoyed going on safari...

-..and were amazed with the work

-behind these incredible animals.

-It's taken over 4,000 hours...

-..and over 600,000 bricks.

-A design on the computer and a few

-hours of blood, sweat and tears...

-..and the animals

-were brought to life.

-People like doing something

-special from something simple.

-That's the appeal of Lego.

-I hear that you're massive fans

-of Lego.

-Yes, I am.

-I love Lego

-and enjoy building things at home.

-What about you, Sami?

-I love playing with my Lego

-and we have new Lego kits in school.

-I've got a lot of boxes of Lego

-at home.

-I've got something like

-20 different Lego sets.

-What did you think

-of the safari animals?

-I loved them all and

-the details on them were amazing.

-I totally agree with Mia

-but how did they get them here?

-The elephant

-took 1,600 hours to build...

-..by about six people.

-Which one was your favourite?

-Which one was your favourite?

-

-The lion.

-It had a baby

-but it looked ferocious too.

-My favourite Lego piece

-was the gorilla or the orang-utan...

-..because it looks like my father!

-The three had the challenge

-of making their own masterpiece...

-..as good as the safari animals.

-Time is up so take your hands away.

-What did you make, Mia?

-What did you make, Mia?

-

-I've made a snake.

-What about you, Sami?

-What about you, Sami?

-

-I've built a rocket.

-I've made a tree.

-The winner

-of the Lego challenge is...

-..all three of you

-because they are all great!

-I'm tempted to go there

-this afternoon.

-I might see you there.

-The weather has been very cold

-in recent days.

-In the cold weather, we all crave

-a warm and comforting meal.

-Dan has just that

-on the menu this morning.

-Chilli is one of those dishes we all

-learn to make when in college.

-I had some for supper last night but

-will happily have some again today!

-We start with the onions...

-..and will build the flavours

-in the frying pan.

-There's some garlic.

-Squash it and remove the skin.

-It's much easier than peeling it

-as it releases the clove.

-That's a great way to do it.

-Finely chop it

-or use a garlic press.

-You could also just use

-paste from a bottle.

-In goes the garlic.

-The next stage

-is to choose your chilli.

-There's a simple rule for this.

-The smaller the chilli,

-the hotter it will be...

-..as it's had less time to mature...

-..but the large ones

-can be spicy too!

-That was just a general rule.

-I'm using regular chillies.

-You can use a small Scotch bonnet

-chilli which is very hot.

-You should wear gloves

-to handle those!

-There's smaller chillies

-that have more of a kick.

-Add as much or as little

-to suit your own taste.

-Do you like it spicy, Sian?

-Do you like it spicy, Sian?

-

-Yes, but not too hot.

-I like it to have some kick.

-I thought you would have removed

-the seeds whilst chopping it...

-..but you've kept them.

-Yes, these aren't very hot chillies

-so don't worry about the seeds.

-Does the heat come from the seeds?

-The seeds and the white membrane

-in the middle.

-These contain the spores

-that bind with cells in your tongue.

-They bind with the tongue

-and give the spice.

-Removing the seeds reduces the heat.

-Yes, it's still hot but not as hot!

-Next, we add some tinned tomatoes

-to create the sauce.

-Where would we be

-without tinned tomatoes?

-They are fantastic and so useful.

-We need to add the dried spices

-at the same time.

-I've got a cinnamon stick

-and that can go in the pan.

-There's also some dried cumin

-and dried coriander.

-I'm also adding a touch of paprika.

-It's smelling wonderful now.

-I used a smoked paprika

-as opposed to a spicy paprika...

-..which is another flavour.

-It's very similar to spaghetti

-bolognaise but this is spicy.

-Yes, exactly.

-Next, we add some red wine.

-This is brought to the boil

-for ten minutes...

-..before turning down the heat and

-being left to simmer for 40 minutes.

-You get a better flavour if it's

-cooked for longer so don't rush it.

-The meat tenderizes.

-The chilli in this other pan

-has been cooking for about an hour.

-That one's hotter as I can see the

-Scotch bonnets in it!

-You were quick at spotting that.

-Those are Piquante peppers that are

-very sweet but they look similar.

-It's another flavour.

-We'll finish the chilli

-with some fresh coriander.

-It gives the chilli

-a very flesh flavour.

-Scatter it over the top.

-It's very colourful.

-Are those small peppers the ones

-that are often stuffed with cheese?

-Yes, that's right.

-Oh, the ones stuffed

-with a cream cheese.

-I'm going to serve this chilli

-with a few tortillas.

-Make them into pockets by

-folding them in half and half again.

-This creates a little pocket.

-We're going to fill

-some of the pocket with rice.

-This is quite a simple dish.

-It's very easy to prepare

-and cheap to make too.

-This dish would cost about 10

-to feed a family of four.

-Any leftovers could be frozen

-and eaten at a later date.

-Yes, or prepare it in the morning

-and reheat it later.

-Some dishes are better reheated and

-eaten the following day like cawl.

-Add the chilli.

-We've got some guacamole

-to serve with it.

-If you've made a hot chilli...

-..you can have some sour cream

-on the side.

-Mmm, that looked delicious.

-The Royal Welsh Showground...

-..is the home

-of the 2018 Urdd Eisteddfod.

-The Eisteddfod is held

-from 28 May to 2 June.

-Preparations are already underway.

-The Heno cameras

-got a sneak preview.

-We usually dig up turf at the Maes

-and start building.

-That's unnecessary

-at the Royal Welsh Showground...

-..so mark 100 days until the Brecon

-and Radnorshire Urdd Eisteddfod.

-There's a lot of excitement amongst

-those arriving for the event.

-We usually have an empty field

-from a farmer...

-..and build around the entrance

-and so on.

-This year, we have suitable

-buildings that can be used...

-..to host the preliminary rounds,

-pavilion and Mistar Urdd cafe...

-We won't need many new buildings

-and it's all indoors.

-We're proud and excited

-to welcome Mistar Urdd...

-..and everyone associated

-with the Eisteddfod.

-As a Welsh learner, it's great for

-me to try and promote the language.

-If I can learn Welsh,

-then anyone can do it!

-It raises the profile of our culture

-and language...

-..in the heart of Wales

-at this showground.

-Locals have been fantastic

-in terms of fund-raising.

-They are raising money...

-..for a cause that raises awareness

-of the language.

-We have a new officer as it's many

-years since the Eisteddfod was here.

-The Urdd has more members

-and more activities in schools.

-Twice as many schools have

-registered to compete this year.

-This often happens

-but it's welcome in this area.

-I have fond memories of the Urdd

-Eisteddfod on this site in 1978.

-There was a yo-yo competition.

-I won it and became

-the Urdd's national champion.

-I hope in the future...

-..that the yo-yo competition returns

-to the Urdd.

-I'm the chair

-of this year's Youth Committee.

-We have a lot to do

-to ensure the Urdd is a success.

-The Eisteddfod is on this unique

-site so let's show you around.

-This is the shed for goats.

-The goats won't be dancing,

-but you will.

-It's the dance hall.

-At the Shearing Centre,

-you can fill your belly.

-There won't be any wool

-in your sandwiches!

-The Exhibition Centre is the

-most important place on the Maes.

-It's our pavilion so we'll see you

-in May as we're going to rehearse.

-The pavilion in the Exhibition

-Centre will be very unusual.

-It will be a memorable Eisteddfod.

-I can't wait to spend the day there

-with my family.

-It's time for a break

-but still to come before 10.00am...

-..we learn more

-about the Chinese New Year.

-Elin Fflur

-meets two girls from Anglesey...

-..who represent Wales

-in a beauty pageant.

-Grab a quick cuppa

-and I'll see you in a few minutes.

-Welcome back and a Happy New Year!

-No, I'm not confused but celebrating

-the Chinese New Year.

-This year is the Year of the Dog.

-The celebrations

-continue until 2 March.

-Heno welcomed this event by

-hearing more about the celebrations.

-It's the Year of the Dog...

-..and I want to wish you all

-a Happy New Year.

-The Chinese New Year is important to

-us as my father is from Hong Kong...

-..so we always celebrate

-this new year.

-In China,

-it's a very important celebration.

-It's the most important event

-of the year...

-..that lasts for about 15 days.

-I spent one new year in Shanghai

-in China.

-It's like our Christmas as everyone

-goes home to see their family.

-They take dumplings

-and light fireworks.

-The Chinese New Year

-follows the Lunar Calendar.

-This year,

-it falls on 16 February...

-..and is the Year of the Dog.

-It's an important year for

-those born in the Year of the Dog.

-There are twelve animals

-in the calendar...

-..and the animal reflects the

-personality of those born that year.

-I'm a dragon so my important year

-will be in 2024.

-My family has a lot of traditions

-that we follow at this time.

-They include hanging up

-Chinese decorations.

-It's the biggest holiday in China.

-They don't have much of a summer

-or Christmas holiday...

-..but they have a full fortnight

-off work for the Chinese New Year.

-My family has a meal to celebrate

-and we enjoy ourselves.

-We also enjoy painting traditional

-calligraphy with ink and a brush...

-..that have various phrases of luck

-for the new year.

-Dad makes a vegetarian meal on

-the first morning of the new year.

-At the new year...

-..children ask for a lai see

-which is a small, red envelope.

-Children will say,

-"Gung Hey Fat Choy Lai See Dou Loi."

-It means Happy New Year

-and they ask for lucky money.

-Happy New Year!

-It's a good new year for me...

-..because I get to eat

-and enjoy myself.

-And me.

-Happy New Year!

-A Happy New Year to you too.

-Don't forget that

-the celebrations run until 2 March.

-Next, we head to Anglesey

-to meet two very busy young girls.

-Sara and Olivia

-have been very busy recently...

-..as they've organized

-a beauty pageant in Holyhead...

-..in aid of a charity

-that is close to their hearts.

-Elin Fflur learnt more

-about the beauty pageant world.

-When we think of beauty pageants...

-..we picture glamorous dresses

-and perfect hair.

-This is partly true...

-..but it's a lot of hard work

-behind the scenes.

-Sara from Bodffordd on Anglesey

-and Olivia from Trearddur Bay...

-..know better than anyone...

-..the effort it takes

-to win a beauty pageant title.

-Beauty pageants

-are a big part of our family life.

-My daughter, Sara

-has won Junior Natural Beauty...

-..and will represent Wales in Spain

-next year.

-Her friend, Olivia

-has won Teen Great British Beauty.

-Few people realize

-the work involved.

-They raise money when they visit

-various places wearing the crown.

-They learn to be kind

-and how to deal with money.

-People need to be made more aware...

-..of the amount of work it involves.

-All they see is pretty dresses

-and crowns...

-..but it's much more than that.

-You look wonderful in your sashes

-and crowns.

-Your bedroom is very colourful,

-Olivia.

-Yes, it's full of the things

-that I've won over the years...

-..and the things I like.

-You like to have them around you.

-How long have you been doing

-the beauty pageants?

-I've been doing the pageants

-for the past two years.

-I'm in the Teen Great British

-Beauty Team and enjoy every minute.

-What do you have to do

-to compete in these beauty pageants?

-On the stage, we have to smile...

-..and walk the catwalk

-in nice dresses...

-..but it's a lot more than that.

-We're friends so we help each other

-and raise money for charities...

-..and a lot of other things.

-You have to show

-how much you want to win...

-..and that you truly want to help

-and make a difference.

-Sara and Olivia have raised over

-5,000 for different charities...

-..by holding a number of events.

-Sara cut her hair to raise money for

-Canolfan Addysg y Bont, Llangefni.

-Olivia has raised money for multiple

-charities with her carnival events.

-The girls are now planning

-a major event.

-They girls have organized

-their own pageant...

-..and all proceeds from the day go

-to the Alaw Ward at Ysbyty Gwynedd.

-There are 36

-confirmed competitors...

-..so we hope everything goes well

-and we raise a lot for the hospital.

-We're raising money

-for the Alaw Ward.

-It's close to our hearts

-and our way to remember Nain.

-I'm excited about seeing the friends

-I made in the summer pageants.

-They are competing too so

-it will be great to see them again.

-Sara and Olivia have contacted us...

-..to say they raised almost 2,000

-for the Alaw Ward at Ysbyty Gwynedd.

-Well done, girls.

-Have you heard about mindfulness?

-Mindfulness is a technique...

-..and experts claim it's the process

-of examining our experiences...

-..from one second to the next.

-Children from Ysgol Trelyn

-in Blackwood...

-..recently experimented

-with a new app.

-We're very excited about using

-the Samten Junior app.

-The Donaldson Report highlighted

-focus, wellbeing and mental health.

-We're aware

-of a child's physical health...

-..but this is about making

-a child aware of their feelings...

-..and boosting their concentration

-skills in a classroom.

-We're very excited

-about using this app.

-We've created the app, Samten.

-It's got a bunch of features

-and one is called Samten Junior...

-..which is relevant to kids

-from the age of six until 14.

-Breathe out deeply

-through the mouth.

-We had to practice our breathing...

-..and had to raise our shoulders

-and lower them.

-Also we can use our fingers.

-I like the app because

-when I come back to the classroom...

-..it helps me to relax

-and feel happy.

-Today, I'm at the school teaching

-mindfulness to the children.

-This morning, I showed them some

-very simple mindfulness techniques.

-Mindfulness really helps you

-to be less stressed...

-..to be more calm and focused.

-This is going to help everybody

-to have a happier life.

-Now you're all relaxed.

-It helps me to relax

-and makes me happy when I do it.

-Breathe in.

-After this morning's session...

-..we're ready to move to the next

-step of setting it up in the school.

-The aim is that

-after break time and lunchtime...

-..they have a session

-for a few minutes...

-..so it puts them in a good place

-to concentrate when they start work.

-I feel relaxed when I do it

-and forget what's around me.

-If I'm worried or something

-has happened at break time...

-..I can't concentrate on my work

-so it helps with that.

-It's been a new experience

-for most of our pupils...

-Next Thursday is 1 March

-and St David's Day.

-St David

-is the patron saint of Wales.

-Events will be held across Wales

-to celebrate the occasion.

-How much do we know about St David

-and the cathedral in St Davids?

-I rummaged in our archive...

-..and found an item

-that explains it all.

-St Davids.

-This is a glorious city.

-But how much do we know

-about this cathedral...

-..and how much do we know about

-the patron saint of Wales, St David?

-The cathedral that we see today

-dates back to the Middle Ages.

-The foundations date back

-to the time of St David.

-This was the site of a church...

-..built by St David

-when he lived in Wales amongst us.

-I met the historian, Ann Rosser...

-..who takes great delight

-in our patron saint.

-We're all familiar with St David.

-But who was St David?

-These days, he's known as

-the patron saint of Wales.

-St David was a man of flesh and bone

-who lived in the sixth century.

-He's thought to have died in 590

-or thereabouts.

-It was such a long time ago

-that we can't be certain.

-He died on 1 March...

-..so that is the date

-that we commemorate him in Wales.

-How much do the children

-of Ysgol Dewi Sant in Llanelli...

-..know about the man himself?

-St David was born in 520...

-..somewhere in Ceredigion

-in West Wales.

-He had his early education in

-a monastery in Henfynyw, Ceredigion.

-His teacher was called Paulinus.

-Paulinus was blind.

-His father's name was Sant

-and he was a king.

-Ysgol Dewi Sant

-was the first Welsh school in Wales.

-We're very proud of our history.

-Miss Olwen Williams

-was the first headmistress.

-She would be happy

-to see all this at the school...

-..and that the children

-are proud of it.

-A St David cult

-has developed over the centuries.

-There are many legends about him.

-There's an incredible amount

-of places that are dedicated to him.

-When I read this...

-..I had no idea that St David's

-influence in the churches...

-..reached throughout

-South Wales and West England.

-It also reached

-Ireland and Brittany.

-Today, there are churches

-dedicated to him...

-..in Canada, America and Tasmania.

-The list is too long to mention.

-He's definitely an iconic figure...

-..with a cult dedicated to him.

-But the question is: how will you

-be celebrating St David's Day?

-There will be a procession

-around the city...

-..in the presence of the bishop

-and a guest minister.

-We'll also welcome those pilgrims

-who visit the cathedral...

-..on St David's Day.

-A lot of people will visit

-this important location...

-..in the history of Christianity

-in the whole of Great Britain.

-I'll wear the Welsh costume...

-..and celebrate with

-a school Eisteddfod in the morning.

-I'll wear the Welsh costume and take

-part in a procession in the town.

-We'll have a procession

-through the town to Seion Chapel...

-..and have a jamboree

-with Martyn Geraint.

-I've certainly learnt a lot

-about this incredible cathedral.

-I also feel like I know a bit more

-about St David too!

-Happy St David's Day

-to you all on 1 March.
