0:01:22 > 0:01:26- I've seen several masks - dotted around the house.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48- So am I!

0:01:51 > 0:01:55- The splashes of colour in - this house, such as this chair...

0:01:55 > 0:01:58- ..are a reflection of her character.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08- This is the home of the actress - and singer, Lowri-Ann Richards.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12- She was a member of - several pop groups in the 1980s...

0:02:13 > 0:02:17- ..and she's acted in many films, - TV series and theatre productions.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Here's a clip of her.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23- # Tonight, tonight

0:02:23 > 0:02:25- # There's only you tonight

0:02:26 > 0:02:29- # What you are, what you do

0:02:29 > 0:02:31- # What you say

0:02:32 > 0:02:37- # Today, all day I had the feeling

0:02:37 > 0:02:40- # A miracle would happen

0:02:40 > 0:02:44- # I know now I was right #

0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Lowri, does the sun - always shine like this in Cricieth?

0:02:57 > 0:02:58- Yes, of course!

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- This really is paradise - and that's why I'm here.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Take me back to your childhood.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07- You grew up in this area.

0:03:07 > 0:03:09- You grew up in this area.- - Yes. I was born on a farm.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14- It was my mother's farm and it was - between Chwilog and Llanystumdwy.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19- For a child, growing up on the farm - was absolutely fantastic.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22- The land ran along the coast...

0:03:23 > 0:03:25- ..at the River Dwyfor estuary.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30- There are lakes there too, - so I grew up surrounded by water.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- I think that's partly - why I worked on cruise ships.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39- I'm sure I need to be close to water - because of where I grew up.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- I went to a junior school - in Cricieth...

0:03:42 > 0:03:45- ..then to Howell's School, Denbigh.

0:03:46 > 0:03:50- I moved to London to go - to drama college when I was 17.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54- What sort of experience - was moving to London?

0:03:54 > 0:03:56- I was pretty tough...

0:03:57 > 0:03:58- ..so I wasn't homesick.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01- Other people cried but I didn't.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03- It was strange. I don't know why.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Where did your pop career begin?

0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Where did your pop career begin?- - I was part of a disco act.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11- I always found something to do.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16- We were similar to Hot Gossip...

0:04:16 > 0:04:20- ..the 1980s group which appeared - on Kenny Everett's shows.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23- But we were much more left of field.

0:04:24 > 0:04:25- What was that band called?

0:04:25 > 0:04:27- What was that band called?- - Shock.

0:04:27 > 0:04:32- We played in the Blitz Club, - which was run by Steve Strange.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Bowie played there too. - They were amazing times.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44- There were - around 200 people, really.

0:04:45 > 0:04:49- We were all young and - we created something new together.

0:04:50 > 0:04:53- You sang a lot - but you were also busy acting.

0:04:58 > 0:05:02- Rownd A Rownd, Pobol Y Cwm, - Dinas and Galw Gari Tryfan.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04- I was also in Newydd Pob Nos...

0:05:04 > 0:05:08- ..which was broadcast - on the opening night of S4C.

0:05:08 > 0:05:13- It was a sitcom and it was set - in a television station's offices.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17- I played a weathergirl, - like Sian Lloyd.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21- We tried to find - new and different ways...

0:05:21 > 0:05:24- ..to tell the audience - about the weather.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28- I sang about the weather - and we used special effects.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- It was fun.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33- We filmed it back-to-back - in Twickenham.

0:05:34 > 0:05:39- I went out clubbing at night, then I - went in early next morning to film.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- You now train actors, don't you?

0:05:43 > 0:05:44- Yes.

0:05:45 > 0:05:46- I did a show in Edinburgh...

0:05:47 > 0:05:49- ..but I wanted to set up a business.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52- In the end, I did a masters degree.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55- In what?

0:05:55 > 0:05:57- In what?- - Research into training actors.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Actor Training And Coaching.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04- It was incredible.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Let's go on a tour of your house.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Yes. Fantastic.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17- What a great start!

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- A spacious hall - with a beautiful floor.

0:06:21 > 0:06:22- It's really nice.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24- It's really nice.- - Yes.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Llanrwst Male Voice Choir?

0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Llanrwst Male Voice Choir?- - I found that in Caernarfon.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31- I like to pick up things like that.

0:06:32 > 0:06:36- I think the fact it's - a male voice choir is fantastic.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39- It gives it some oomph!

0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Not that there wouldn't be - from a female voice choir!

0:06:43 > 0:06:45- They're statement pieces.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50- They've lived a life - before they arrived here.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51- Exactly.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54- Is this lovely floor original?

0:06:54 > 0:06:59- There was a carpet on the floor - but we removed it and found this.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- The sanding situation - took a bit of time.

0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Let's head to the kitchen.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17- What a lovely kitchen!

0:07:18 > 0:07:19- A kitchen diner.

0:07:19 > 0:07:24- I imagine you love to invite - people over for lunch and dinner.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Yes, and we can seat 12 people - around that table.

0:07:29 > 0:07:35- It looks a little bit like a train - heading towards the castle.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38- That's cool! LA 46.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Lowri-Ann 46, - which is your age of course.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46- My sister gave that to me.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50- It's a sign from Louisiana, - which is the 46th state...

0:07:50 > 0:07:53- ..of the United States of America.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56- It's fantastic.

0:07:57 > 0:07:58- Statement piece.

0:07:58 > 0:08:01- That looks like a tabletop to me.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05- Maybe I should turn it into a table.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07- It just needs some legs.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12- It's something you can look at - and just relax.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17- Yes, it's lovely and colourful - against that plain wall.

0:08:17 > 0:08:20- I think something like that - works in here.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Let's take a look upstairs.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27- I like that Croeso - welcome sign.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Yes, but you only see it - as you leave!

0:08:30 > 0:08:32- You're welcome to leave my house!

0:08:39 > 0:08:43- When Lowri bought the building, - it was a block of flats.

0:08:43 > 0:08:48- She converted it back into - a luxurious, four-storey house.

0:08:48 > 0:08:52- We're in the first floor lounge - which is also a library!

0:08:54 > 0:08:55- I like books.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Books about the 1980s.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01- I'm in those.

0:09:01 > 0:09:02- I'm in those.- - Are you? As a model?

0:09:02 > 0:09:06- Well, that one's called - 80s In The Shade...

0:09:06 > 0:09:11- ..and they focused on people like me - who did things in the 1980s.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13- It's quite interesting.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19- There are several masks in here too.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23- Yes, if an actor wears a mask...

0:09:23 > 0:09:27- ..the mask then - gives the body impulse.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31- Masks help actors - who lack a bit of confidence...

0:09:31 > 0:09:34- ..to come out of themselves.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38- They think - they're hiding behind a mask...

0:09:39 > 0:09:43- ..but the body then does much more - and they find a character from it.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46- That's a really colourful chair.

0:09:46 > 0:09:47- That's a really colourful chair.- - Yes.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Plus, a really colourful mirror.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51- Plus, a really colourful mirror.- - Yes. I like that.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58- The colour scheme in here - was meant to be blue and gold.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02- A lot of dust gathers here, - so you've got to be careful!

0:10:04 > 0:10:08- I've just had this chair covered - by someone from Dolgellau.

0:10:10 > 0:10:11- You had it covered?

0:10:11 > 0:10:13- I see.

0:10:15 > 0:10:16- Let's go next door.

0:10:23 > 0:10:28- This fireplace - is full of family photographs.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30- It's really lovely.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Michael, my husband, - Daisy and Johnny.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37- There's a story - behind that fireplace.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39- When I first saw it - with my father...

0:10:40 > 0:10:44- ..we wondered where - the previous owner had found it.

0:10:44 > 0:10:49- I talked to the builders and they - said they'd removed it from a house.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54- They told me the house they removed - it from was called Caer Dyni.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59- I owned that house - and I remember that fireplace.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02- No!

0:11:02 > 0:11:06- That fireplace came from the house - where you once lived?

0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Yes, so it followed me here!

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Yes, so it followed me here!- - You were meant to be together.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- It's a bit Twilight Zone, - isn't it?

0:11:15 > 0:11:17- It followed me here.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Is that a portrait of you?

0:11:19 > 0:11:23- Yes. It was painted in New York - by Ellen Harvey.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26- She lived in the flat below mine.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31- She wanted to point out - she'd painted it in two days.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35- She had to be quick - because I was flying back to Wales.

0:11:36 > 0:11:40- The interesting thing for me - is I look just like my daughter.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Daisy looks exactly like that.

0:11:43 > 0:11:46- This could be - a portrait of your daughter.

0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Yes. It's strange, isn't it?

0:11:49 > 0:11:51- Tell me about this harp.

0:11:51 > 0:11:52- It has no strings.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55- It has no strings.- - No. I play the autoharp.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57- It's another type of harp.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01- Unfortunately, - my autoharp is in my other place.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Glenda Clwyd and I have just started - to perform as an act.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09- We call ourselves - Two Blondes & A Harp.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16- The plan is to use that harp - in publicity shots.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Let's move on to the next room.

0:12:25 > 0:12:29- On the second floor, - there are two guest bedrooms...

0:12:29 > 0:12:31- ..a bathroom...

0:12:33 > 0:12:35- ..and the master bedroom.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39- That's such a beautiful view.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- That's such a beautiful view.- - Yes - straight to the castle.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45- I'm like a queen - looking out over her kingdom.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47- The sea.

0:12:47 > 0:12:49- The sea.- - Yes, and the mountains.

0:12:51 > 0:12:52- Cricieth is so green.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59- I can also see the high street and - the people who walk up and down.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01- I can see the ice cream shop too.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05- I could sit in the window all day.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Yes. I can even see the people - coming out of the pub.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14- You know everyone's business!

0:13:14 > 0:13:15- Yes, and it's great.

0:13:16 > 0:13:19- This is bed is beautiful - and so is this blanket.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22- You're obviously - a fan of Welsh tweed.

0:13:23 > 0:13:24- Yes.

0:13:25 > 0:13:29- There was a mill in Pwllheli but it - closed in the early 20th century.

0:13:30 > 0:13:31- I think it was in the 1920s.

0:13:32 > 0:13:36- I managed to buy a Pwllheli blanket - and I'm thrilled with it.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41- I have another one hanging - on the landing.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43- I like them.

0:13:43 > 0:13:48- They're very Welsh, - as is the work of Kyffin.

0:13:48 > 0:13:52- Yes, I have some prints - but this one's an original.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55- The initials KW are at the bottom.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I like to have a colour scheme...

0:13:58 > 0:14:02- ..and the green in the Kyffin - goes with my green bed.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06- Yes, and with your curtains - and your chairs.

0:14:08 > 0:14:09- Red dragons.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Yes - a pair of kissing dragons!

0:14:20 > 0:14:24- Join Lowri-Ann and I back here - after the break.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26- See you in two minutes.

0:14:38 > 0:14:39- Welcome back.

0:14:39 > 0:14:44- I'm in the Cricieth home of singer - and actress, Lowri-Ann Richards.

0:14:45 > 0:14:49- We've now come to the family farm, - which was her original home.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Lowri, let's talk about - this strip of land...

0:14:53 > 0:14:56- ..which you, - your sister and your father own.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00- It's right between the sea - and River Dwyfor.

0:15:03 > 0:15:05- That's Llanystumdwy over there.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09- Yes, and that's Cricieth Castle.

0:15:10 > 0:15:14- My father farmed this land - when I was a little girl, of course.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17- I remember he had - lots of old Land Rovers.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20- You know - the really old ones.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24- We used to sit at the back - and dangle our legs out.

0:15:26 > 0:15:30- We'd come all the way down here - to the Dwyfor estuary.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Then, after some time, - I'd drive tractors down here.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41- I'd drive tractors - when I was 13 or 14 years old.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43- That's how I learned to drive.

0:15:46 > 0:15:51- We had picnics here with my mother - and father when I was little...

0:15:51 > 0:15:54- ..and I did the same here - with my children.

0:15:54 > 0:15:56- It's been amazing.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59- You'd never get rid of this land, - would you?

0:15:59 > 0:16:01- It's close to your heart.

0:16:01 > 0:16:06- Yes, but the sea can be dangerous, - especially when we have bad storms.

0:16:08 > 0:16:13- All you need is a picnic and come - here to sit in the long grass...

0:16:13 > 0:16:15- ..and enjoy a glass of wine.

0:16:15 > 0:16:16- Yes, that's what we do.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19- It's perfect.

0:16:19 > 0:16:20- Idyllic.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Yes, it is.

0:16:31 > 0:16:34- It's so peaceful and quiet here.

0:16:37 > 0:16:39- Being here is good for the soul.

0:16:39 > 0:16:44- Can you see yourself moving - back here on a permanent basis?

0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Would you like to live here - all year round?

0:16:48 > 0:16:50- We bought that house in Cricieth...

0:16:51 > 0:16:54- ..with a view - to moving here eventually.

0:16:54 > 0:17:00- But I still like to keep one foot, - or at least one pinkie, down south!

0:17:06 > 0:17:10- I'm still building my career - and finding new things to do.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14- It's important for you - to be within easy reach of London.

0:17:15 > 0:17:16- Yes, that's right.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19- We live - in Godmanchester, Cambridge...

0:19:59 > 0:20:01- I'm going to ask you...

0:20:01 > 0:20:05- ..to name the three things - you'd save from this house.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06- What's important to you?

0:20:07 > 0:20:13- Having a comfortable, secure - night's sleep is important to me...

0:20:14 > 0:20:16- ..so I'd rescue this bed.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22- I agree.

0:20:36 > 0:20:38- It was an instant decision.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43- Was the room green - before the bed arrived?

0:20:44 > 0:20:45- No - the bed came first.

0:20:47 > 0:20:49- What about the second object?

0:20:49 > 0:20:51- What about the second object?- - Here it is.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54- During your tour of the house...

0:20:54 > 0:20:57- ..you noticed - that I like Welsh blankets.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00- This is a Bryncir blanket.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Bryncir - is just down the road from here.

0:21:04 > 0:21:09- Yes, and I bought it earlier this - year at Cricieth auction house.

0:21:10 > 0:21:14- I decided I really had to buy it - because it's a local blanket.

0:21:16 > 0:21:20- I stood like this - directly opposite the auctioneer.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24- You made it clear - that blanket would be yours!

0:21:24 > 0:21:29- Yes. I put my finger up and I didn't - lower it then raise it to bid again.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30- I kept it raised.

0:21:31 > 0:21:36- They also had a telephone bidder and - they pinged backwards and forwards.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39- It was very dramatic. - It was fantastic!

0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Oh, that's nice.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Yes. The room celebrated my victory!

0:21:50 > 0:21:53- They knew - you really wanted that blanket.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- "That blanket's coming home - with me!"

0:21:56 > 0:21:59- May I ask how much you paid for it?

0:21:59 > 0:22:01- May I ask how much you paid for it?- - I paid the going rate really.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03- It cost just over 100.

0:22:03 > 0:22:04- Something like 130.

0:22:04 > 0:22:06- It wasn't bad.

0:22:07 > 0:22:09- It was worth it.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14- It's an old blanket, it's heavy, - it's colourful and I love it.

0:22:14 > 0:22:16- Talk about colourful!

0:22:16 > 0:22:18- These are show-stoppers.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24- I couldn't leave the house - without rescuing these.

0:22:27 > 0:22:32- If I don't have dresses, music, - lights, gloves and pretty things...

0:22:32 > 0:22:36- ..I can't sing - and I can't earn a living.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01- This is part of your work, - so it's part of you.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Do you feel transformed - the minute you don these things?

0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Is it part of the process?

0:23:07 > 0:23:12- Actually, once the microphone is on - I feel fine.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04- I thought he'd be there - with a PS3 and an Xbox...

0:28:04 > 0:28:06- ..but it doesn't work like that.
