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.

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

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.

0:04:58 > 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...
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- ..which is an hour - from Leicester Square.

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