-Hello! I'm Nia Parry.

0:00:280:00:30

-Join me as I have a snoop around

-another fascinating house.

0:00:300:00:34

-Welcome to Adre.

0:00:340:00:35

-I'm in north Pembrokeshire to see

-whoever lives in this lovely house.

0:00:420:00:47

-It's an old cowshed.

0:00:480:00:49

-Let's hunt for some clues.

0:00:500:00:52

-For help to follow the programme,

-use the website and the app...

0:00:530:00:57

-..and don't forget the subtitles!

0:00:570:01:00

-Ready?

0:01:050:01:06

-Look what I found - a clapperboard.

0:01:070:01:09

-The people who live here

-have seen lots of these...

0:01:100:01:13

-..through their acting and singing.

0:01:130:01:16

-Look! Three framed postcards

-from the Rhyl area.

0:01:200:01:23

-Someone who lives here

-comes from that area.

0:01:230:01:26

-Rhyl is the place to go on holiday!

0:01:290:01:32

-That's the Sun Centre

-and I went there as a child.

0:01:320:01:35

-This is a photo

-of a band called Eden.

0:01:400:01:42

-Which one of these lives here?

-Non, Emma or Rachael?

0:01:420:01:46

-Have you worked out who lives here?

0:01:480:01:51

-Well, the singer and actress,

-Non Parry lives here...

0:01:520:01:56

-..with her husband, Iwan John...

0:01:560:01:58

-..and their children

-Will, Jacob and Kitty.

0:01:590:02:02

-Here's Non with Eden.

0:02:020:02:04

-# Don't be afraid, open your heart

0:02:040:02:08

-# Don't be afraid, come closer

0:02:080:02:12

-# Don't be afraid, open your heart

0:02:120:02:16

-# Don't be afraid, come closer

0:02:160:02:20

-# Don't be afraid, open your heart

0:02:200:02:24

-# Don't be afraid, come closer

0:02:240:02:28

-# Don't be afraid #

0:02:280:02:29

-Here we are,

-with Non on her fantastic sofa.

0:02:390:02:42

-It's comfy, isn't it?

0:02:420:02:43

-I'm tempted to put my feet up.

0:02:440:02:45

-I'm tempted to put my feet up.

-

-Do it.

0:02:450:02:46

-Where were you born and bred?

0:02:470:02:49

-I was born in Rhuddlan,

-which is between Rhyl and Prestatyn.

0:02:490:02:53

-I went to Ysgol Dewi Sant

-and then to Ysgol Glan Clwyd.

0:02:530:02:58

-That school produces lots of talent.

0:02:580:03:01

-It's never-ending.

-The talent keeps on coming.

0:03:020:03:05

-You come from a musical family.

0:03:050:03:08

-I thought Caryl Parry Jones was your

-aunt, but you're actually cousins.

0:03:080:03:13

-Sorry, Caryl!

0:03:130:03:15

-We're cousins.

0:03:150:03:17

-Tell me about the group, Eden.

0:03:170:03:19

-Rachael, Emma and I were

-in Cor Y Glannau choir together.

0:03:200:03:24

-Rachael saw an advert

-in a newspaper...

0:03:240:03:27

-..from someone

-who wanted to form a girl band.

0:03:270:03:30

-This was before the Spice Girls.

0:03:310:03:33

-We weren't called Eden then.

-We were called Cola.

0:03:330:03:37

-We started off like that

-but things weren't good.

0:03:370:03:41

-We didn't feel right about

-the Cola thing, so we packed it in.

0:03:410:03:45

-Caryl knew us.

0:03:450:03:47

-Well, she knew me, of course.

0:03:470:03:49

-She was looking for a group to fill

-a spot in her programme at the time.

0:03:490:03:55

-She asked us if we'd like to sing

-on it and we said, "Oh, OK then."

0:03:570:04:02

-We were going to do a cover

-but they couldn't clear it...

0:04:020:04:06

-..so Caryl said

-she'd write something for us.

0:04:060:04:09

-She went off and wrote

-Paid A Bod Ofn really quickly.

0:04:100:04:14

-We thought it was a one-off,

-just to fill a slot.

0:04:140:04:17

-Paid A Bod Ofn was your first song?

0:04:180:04:21

-Paid A Bod Ofn was your first song?

-

-Yes, and it was kind of an accident.

0:04:210:04:23

-It was panic stations and we did

-something quickly for Caryl's show.

0:04:230:04:28

-We thought we'd sing it once,

-then go off and get a job.

0:04:280:04:32

-The next thing we knew, an album!

0:04:320:04:35

-Eden did a heck of a lot

-at one time.

0:04:350:04:38

-Some might say too much, Nia!

0:04:410:04:43

-We were everywhere!

0:04:430:04:45

-Hotel Eddie and Christmas shows.

0:04:450:04:48

-Tell me about your TV work.

0:04:480:04:50

-You're famous in my house

-as Oli Odl.

0:04:500:04:53

-Oli Odl is a little character

-who lives in a special world.

0:04:540:04:59

-It's a kids' show, by the way...

0:05:000:05:02

-..before people start to wonder

-what bonkers show I'm in!

0:05:030:05:07

-It's called Marcaroni and it's about

-a composer who lives in a clock.

0:05:070:05:11

-Oli Odl goes there every night

-to clean Marcaroni's house...

0:05:110:05:16

-..which is actually a clock!

0:05:160:05:18

-He composes music

-and I write words to create songs.

0:05:180:05:22

-I write the lyrics.

0:05:220:05:24

-I'm very good at rhyming, you see.

0:05:260:05:29

-What about the other shows?

0:05:310:05:33

-What about the other shows?

-

-We did five series of Hotel Eddie.

0:05:330:05:35

-It's a sitcom for children.

0:05:360:05:38

-I met Iwan when we did a show

-called Noc Noc...

0:05:390:05:43

-..and we went on to do Hotel Eddie.

0:05:430:05:46

-Noc Noc was a live show where

-we surprised kids at their house...

0:05:470:05:51

-..and did the show from the house.

0:05:510:05:54

-That was my first job -

-a live Friday night show.

0:05:540:05:59

-We did two series of Noc Noc

-and five series of Hotel Eddie.

0:05:590:06:03

-You met Iwan John, your husband,

-when you did Noc Noc together.

0:06:030:06:08

-Iwan plays Eddie Butler.

0:06:090:06:11

-He also plays Twm Tisian.

0:06:130:06:15

-Yes - he's Twm Tisian.

0:06:150:06:16

-The silliness goes on!

0:06:160:06:18

-What are you doing currently?

0:06:190:06:21

-What are you doing currently?

-

-I write a lot for kids' shows.

0:06:210:06:23

-Things like Jac Russell, Rhaglen

-Wirion, Teledu Eddie and Rapsgaliwn.

0:06:230:06:29

-I'm writing with Caryl

-at the moment and that's lovely.

0:06:300:06:35

-I wrote a bit for her sketch show...

0:06:390:06:41

-..and we've just finished writing

-a new show which hasn't been on TV.

0:06:420:06:48

-It's called Anita and it's about

-one of her sketch show characters.

0:06:490:06:54

-This is my favourite bit.

0:06:550:06:57

-Can we have a snoop?

0:06:570:06:58

-Can we have a snoop?

-

-Yes.

0:06:580:07:00

-Ty Ni - Our House.

0:07:030:07:05

-Yes, and we found that sign

-in Felinheli.

0:07:060:07:09

-We carried it with us from Pontyclun

-to Llantrisant to here.

0:07:090:07:13

-Was it your dream to find somewhere

-which needed lots of work...

0:07:140:07:18

-..and spend years

-living in a caravan?

0:07:190:07:21

-No, it wasn't my dream!

0:07:220:07:24

-It just happened by chance.

0:07:240:07:26

-Iwan comes from this area,

-so we came here regularly.

0:07:260:07:30

-We stumbled across this place

-in an estate agent's window...

0:07:300:07:35

-..and we came to see it.

0:07:350:07:37

-When we saw this place,

-we thought, "OK!"

0:07:370:07:40

-Before that day, I had no dreams

-of doing anything like this.

0:07:400:07:44

-But once I'd seen this place,

-I knew it was right instantly.

0:07:440:07:49

-I thought, "Let's do this!"

0:07:490:07:51

-It was exciting.

0:07:510:07:52

-While you did the work to the house,

-you lived in one of these caravans.

0:07:540:07:59

-Yes, in that first caravan.

0:08:010:08:03

-We lived in the cottage

-behind the house in the winter...

0:08:030:08:07

-..and we moved into the caravan

-every April until September.

0:08:080:08:12

-While we were in the caravan,

-we had the cottage as a holiday let.

0:08:130:08:18

-Would you do it again?

0:08:180:08:19

-Would you do it again?

-

-No. No!

0:08:190:08:21

-It wasn't the best idea.

0:08:210:08:22

-It wasn't the best idea.

-

-Not really.

0:08:220:08:24

-But you ended up with a lovely home.

0:08:240:08:27

-But you ended up with a lovely home.

-

-Yes, and we appreciate it.

0:08:270:08:29

-We appreciate having stairs

-and rooms and everything!

0:08:290:08:33

-Crockery. Brilliant!

0:08:330:08:35

-It's chilly.

0:08:360:08:37

-It's chilly.

-

-Yes. Come in.

0:08:370:08:39

-Don't tell anyone...

0:08:500:08:52

-..but this is my favourite kitchen

-of every episode of Adra.

0:08:530:08:57

-Yeah! Really?

0:08:580:08:59

-Yeah! Really?

-

-Yes. It's beautiful.

0:08:590:09:01

-It's big, isn't it?

0:09:010:09:03

-It's big, isn't it?

-

-It's so nice.

0:09:030:09:04

-Where did you get that?

0:09:050:09:06

-Where did you get that?

-

-Iwan found it.

0:09:060:09:08

-It was just coming in off a van

-at an antique shop in Crymych.

0:09:080:09:13

-They'd removed it from an old shop

-in Cardigan.

0:09:130:09:16

-I think it was a men's clothes shop.

0:09:160:09:19

-It's really old.

0:09:200:09:21

-We put the top on it ourselves.

0:09:210:09:25

-We found this

-in the sale in Crymych for 40.

0:09:250:09:29

-No!

0:09:290:09:31

-No!

-

-Forty pound!

0:09:310:09:32

-It's a dresser, so it has a top

-but we don't use it.

0:09:330:09:36

-I buy a lot of things

-in second hand shops...

0:09:370:09:40

-..and in charity shops.

0:09:400:09:42

-I rarely shop in proper shops,

-so I have to be creative.

0:09:420:09:46

-I find things

-and I try to make them look cool.

0:09:460:09:51

-Is the floor old? It looks old.

0:09:520:09:55

-Is the floor old? It looks old.

-

-No, it's new.

0:09:550:09:56

-We had plenty of time

-to look for the flooring...

0:09:570:10:01

-..and I knew

-I wanted a floor like this.

0:10:020:10:04

-We found it in a normal tile shop!

0:10:050:10:07

-That was that. Brilliant.

0:10:080:10:09

-You've got good taste.

0:10:100:10:11

-Can I see the rest?

0:10:120:10:13

-Can I see the rest?

-

-Of course.

0:10:130:10:14

-Good start.

0:10:140:10:15

-Good start.

-

-Come on!

0:10:150:10:17

-From the kitchen

-and into this hall...

0:10:220:10:25

-..which is your family hall of fame.

0:10:250:10:28

-Yes, happy photos

-of my family and friends.

0:10:290:10:32

-My wedding day.

0:10:320:10:34

-Eden, when we had a reunion

-a couple of years ago.

0:10:340:10:38

-Is this the original layout?

0:10:380:10:41

-No, this was a huge open space.

0:10:410:10:43

-I imagined this as a big, open hall

-with a huge, sweeping staircase.

0:10:440:10:49

-It wouldn't work.

0:10:510:10:53

-I argued with Iwan about this space

-more than any other.

0:10:540:10:58

-I wanted something big

-but I like the hall now.

0:10:580:11:01

-The lounge is down there.

0:11:020:11:04

-The lounge is down there.

-

-Yes. Let's go.

0:11:040:11:06

-This is a nice room.

0:11:060:11:08

-Yes. It's simple and quite bare.

0:11:090:11:11

-It's nice

-and it feels like I'm abroad.

0:11:120:11:15

-I wanted to create

-a Moroccan feel, Nia.

0:11:150:11:18

-You've done that.

0:11:180:11:20

-All we do in here

-is watch TV and that's it.

0:11:210:11:23

-Big sofa and TV.

0:11:240:11:25

-That's an enormous sofa!

0:11:250:11:27

-Yes, but there are a lot of us

-so it's essential to have it.

0:11:290:11:33

-I don't like things

-which match too closely.

0:11:330:11:36

-I like things to stand out.

0:11:370:11:39

-This is handy

-to keep books and rubbish.

0:11:410:11:44

-It's one section of the drawers

-I have in the kitchen.

0:11:450:11:49

-I moved it there,

-put photos on top of it...

0:11:490:11:52

-..and store the kids' rubbish

-and our stuff in it.

0:11:520:11:56

-What was this part of the house?

0:11:570:11:59

-I take it the cattle would come in

-through that big opening.

0:11:590:12:04

-It was the only door.

0:12:060:12:07

-Yes - it was for cattle.

0:12:080:12:09

-That opening is original.

0:12:110:12:12

-Yes, and the door

-needs a coat of paint.

0:12:130:12:16

-There was nothing here

-but stones and holes.

0:12:160:12:19

-This is the landing.

0:12:270:12:28

-Do you work there?

0:12:290:12:31

-Do you work there?

-

-No, but I've tried it.

0:12:310:12:33

-I work in the kitchen,

-mainly because there's food there!

0:12:340:12:38

-Whose rooms are these?

0:12:380:12:40

-Straight ahead

-is Will and Jacob's room.

0:12:400:12:43

-Kitty Wyn is here

-and that's our bedroom.

0:12:430:12:46

-Can I have a look

-around your bedroom?

0:12:460:12:49

-Yes, of course.

0:12:490:12:50

-There's more blue in here.

-Is every room blue?

0:12:520:12:56

-Yes, but it was accidental.

0:12:560:12:58

-We chose every colour and realized

-they were all shades of blue!

0:12:590:13:03

-I don't like things that match

-but it's OK.

0:13:040:13:07

-It took ages to paint it,

-so I'm not changing it!

0:13:070:13:10

-That bed looks really comfy.

0:13:120:13:14

-That bed looks really comfy.

-

-It's nice.

0:13:140:13:16

-It's absolutely massive!

0:13:160:13:18

-Yes, it's huge.

0:13:190:13:21

-There's a door there.

-Where does it lead?

0:13:220:13:25

-Outside, to a small set of steps.

0:13:250:13:27

-The steps were used

-to carry hay up here.

0:13:280:13:31

-There was a floor here.

0:13:310:13:33

-It was the only room which had one.

0:13:330:13:35

-They must have stored hay here.

0:13:350:13:38

-One a sunny morning, you can open

-the door and step out in your pants.

0:13:380:13:43

-Yes, and nobody can see you.

0:13:430:13:45

-You're in the middle of nowhere.

0:13:460:13:48

-I love your curtains.

0:13:500:13:52

-They're cute.

0:13:520:13:53

-My sister put them up.

0:13:540:13:56

-The people

-who owned the caravan before us...

0:13:560:13:59

-..must have liked these doily things

-to put over sofa arms.

0:14:000:14:04

-They're sofa arm protectors?

0:14:050:14:07

-Yes, that's what they are.

0:14:090:14:10

-Are these shoes yours?

0:14:110:14:12

-Are these shoes yours?

-

-Yes, they're all mine.

0:14:120:14:14

-I like the idea of displaying shoes.

0:14:140:14:17

-I like the idea of displaying shoes.

-

-Yes. I like to see them.

0:14:170:14:18

-When you buy shoes you love,

-like these...

0:14:180:14:21

-..they're so beautiful.

0:14:220:14:24

-You want to see them.

0:14:240:14:26

-Yes. I don't want to keep them

-in a box.

0:14:260:14:29

-First thing in the morning and last

-thing at night, I admire my shoes.

0:14:290:14:33

-I've also noticed that there's a

-bit of leopard print in every room.

0:14:340:14:40

-Yes, there's a lot

-of leopard print here.

0:14:410:14:43

-It's everywhere!

0:14:450:14:46

-I didn't realize I was doing it

-but I may have a slight problem!

0:14:510:14:55

-Join me after the break...

0:15:000:15:02

-..to spend more time

-with Non and her family.

-Welcome back

-to Bridell, near Cardigan...

0:15:190:15:22

-..where Non Parry

-and her family live.

0:15:220:15:26

-We already know that Non

-is a member of the group, Eden...

0:15:310:15:35

-..and her husband

-is also a famous face.

0:15:350:15:38

-He's played many interesting,

-colourful characters over the years.

0:15:380:15:43

-Characters like Jac Russell,

-Twm Tisian, Eddie Butler and DJ Sal.

0:15:460:15:50

-HE SLURPS HIS TEA

0:15:520:15:54

-Iwan John!

-I knew you wouldn't behave yourself.

0:15:540:15:57

-I like your house.

0:15:580:15:59

-I like your house.

-

-Thank you. It belongs to the bank!

0:15:590:16:02

-You grew up in this area.

0:16:030:16:05

-Not this area exactly

-but a stone's throw from here.

0:16:050:16:08

-A giant's stone's throw!

0:16:090:16:10

-How did you persuade Non to leave

-Cardiff and move to this area?

0:16:120:16:16

-It was my plan

-to buy a touring caravan...

0:16:170:16:20

-..and leave it at Llwyn Gwair.

0:16:200:16:23

-We'd spend a few weeks a year there.

0:16:240:16:27

-It was there all year.

0:16:270:16:29

-We went there as often as we could

-and the children loved it.

0:16:290:16:34

-She loved it too.

0:16:340:16:35

-Bang!

0:16:370:16:38

-Bang!

-

-Tactics.

0:16:380:16:39

-Wouldn't this be a lovely way

-for the children to grow up?

0:16:390:16:44

-Very clever! It worked like a charm.

0:16:460:16:49

-Congratulations. High five!

0:16:490:16:51

-How much of a nightmare was living

-in a caravan for six years...

0:16:540:16:58

-..and doing all this work?

0:16:580:17:00

-It wasn't a nightmare.

0:17:010:17:03

-It was just the pressure.

0:17:030:17:05

-Non didn't put pressure on me...

0:17:060:17:08

-..but I felt the pressure.

0:17:080:17:10

-I kept thinking,

-"Oh, no! We've got to move in soon."

0:17:100:17:14

-What was it like to live in

-a tiny caravan with three children?

0:17:160:17:21

-We started off with two children.

0:17:220:17:24

-Another one came along,

-so it can't have been too bad.

0:17:240:17:28

-Living in a caravan is quite easy.

0:17:350:17:37

-Close the curtains.

0:17:390:17:41

-Turn the telly on.

0:17:430:17:45

-Do the dishes.

0:17:470:17:48

-Just a little stretch

-without moving!

0:17:490:17:52

-What about the design process

-with the architect and the decor?

0:17:540:17:58

-Did you argue a lot?

0:17:580:18:00

-When we bought the building...

0:18:000:18:02

-..it came with

-a set of existing plans.

0:18:030:18:06

-We looked at them

-and we didn't like them...

0:18:100:18:13

-..so we threw them out.

0:18:130:18:15

-We were trying

-to keep the costs down too...

0:18:160:18:19

-..so we decided to do as little

-to the outer shell as possible.

0:18:190:18:24

-In some respects, we allowed

-the shell to do the work for us...

0:18:290:18:33

-..in the sense of letting it dictate

-what went where.

0:18:340:18:37

-We wanted a big kitchen.

0:18:370:18:39

-For example, that big window

-was there originally.

0:18:390:18:43

-Yes, and the plans we inherited

-were to put a bedroom there...

0:18:450:18:49

-..cut the window in half

-and ruin the room.

0:18:490:18:52

-Non and I agreed about that

-and we agreed about most things.

0:18:530:18:57

-Non didn't understand

-this middle section.

0:19:000:19:03

-Non's room, or the utility

-as some people call it...

0:19:030:19:07

-..and the bit where the stairs are.

0:19:070:19:09

-She couldn't picture it.

0:19:100:19:12

-She couldn't picture it.

-

-No.

0:19:120:19:13

-It's difficult to imagine it

-when you're looking at plans.

0:19:130:19:17

-Yes, but we needed a room

-for Non to do her work.

0:19:180:19:22

-NIA LAUGHS

0:19:230:19:24

-This is my room.

0:19:240:19:26

-You cook and she does the laundry?

0:19:260:19:29

-Yes. Something like that.

0:19:290:19:31

-We're a team!

0:19:320:19:34

-You created a lovely home and you're

-still together. Congratulations.

0:19:380:19:44

-It's one of the most stressful

-things you can do...

0:19:440:19:48

-..but I'd do it again.

0:19:480:19:49

-Really?

0:19:500:19:51

-Really?

-

-Yes, if I had plenty of money.

0:19:510:19:54

-Money and time.

0:19:550:19:57

-Money and time.

-

-Just money. Pay someone to do it.

0:19:570:19:59

-Project manage it.

0:20:000:20:01

-After my chat with Iwan,

-I went to find the children...

0:20:030:20:08

-..Will, Jacob and Kitty.

0:20:080:20:10

-I think your room is very cool.

0:20:120:20:14

-You have the sun, the stars

-and a map of the world.

0:20:170:20:21

-Do you remember

-living in the caravan?

0:20:220:20:25

-Yes, I remember living there.

0:20:260:20:28

-The boys' room

-is next to Kitty's room.

0:20:310:20:34

-Hiya, Will! Hi, Jacob!

0:20:390:20:41

-Thanks for letting an old woman

-like me see your cool bedroom.

0:20:420:20:46

-Are you alright?

0:20:460:20:47

-Are you alright?

-

-Yes.

0:20:470:20:49

-You share a room. Who sleeps where?

0:20:490:20:51

-Jac sleeps there

-and I sleep in this bed.

0:20:520:20:55

-Mam and Dad are on the telly.

0:20:560:20:58

-Yes.

0:20:580:21:00

-We've always lived with that.

0:21:000:21:02

-We're used to it.

0:21:020:21:04

-What sort of area is this?

-Is it a nice place to live?

0:21:060:21:09

-Yes. We don't worry about kicking

-a ball into next door's garden.

0:21:090:21:14

-I want to know everything about Mam.

0:21:200:21:23

-What's cool about Mam?

0:21:240:21:26

-She's on Cyw.

0:21:260:21:28

-Is it weird seeing Mam on Cyw?

0:21:280:21:30

-She's on Marcaroni.

0:21:300:21:32

-Do you like seeing Mam as Oli Old?

0:21:320:21:35

-Do you like seeing Mam as Oli Old?

-

-No.

0:21:350:21:36

-Dad's on TV too.

0:21:360:21:38

-Who's Dad when he's on TV?

0:21:380:21:40

-Who's Dad when he's on TV?

-

-Jac Russell and Twm Tisian.

0:21:400:21:43

-Thank you for the welcome, Non.

-I've had a lovely time.

0:21:470:21:51

-I feel at home here.

0:21:510:21:53

-Come back. You're welcome any time.

0:21:540:21:56

-Before I go, what three things

-would you save from this house...

0:21:570:22:02

-..if you had to run out of the door?

0:22:030:22:06

-Three important things,

-apart from the children? OK.

0:22:060:22:10

-I have a bag which contains

-the children's baby clothes.

0:22:110:22:15

-These are the boys' first shoes.

0:22:160:22:18

-I'm going to hang these on the wall.

0:22:210:22:23

-These were Will's first shoes.

0:22:240:22:27

-Those were Jacob's

-and the pink ones belonged to Kitty.

0:22:270:22:32

-Kitty was tiny,

-so Mam knitted this for her.

0:22:320:22:35

-Look! It's so small.

0:22:360:22:38

-This is Kitty's tiny hat.

0:22:400:22:42

-She had a tiny Babygro too.

0:22:430:22:45

-She had a tiny Babygro too.

-

-It's so cute!

0:22:450:22:47

-If anything happened to these items,

-I'd go bonkers.

0:22:470:22:51

-Kitty's only six, but I'm sure you

-don't remember her being that small.

0:22:530:22:58

-No, not at all.

0:22:590:23:00

-It makes no sense

-that this fitted her!

0:23:000:23:03

-These baby clothes and shoes

-count as one item.

0:23:040:23:07

-What's your second item?

0:23:080:23:09

-A love spoon.

0:23:120:23:14

-Yes, but Iwan made this for me

-in the shed, all on his own.

0:23:150:23:19

-That's cute.

0:23:200:23:22

-Yes, it's cute and it's rustic.

0:23:220:23:24

-I like that.

0:23:250:23:26

-He found some driftwood on the beach

-when we were out walking...

0:23:260:23:31

-..and he slipped it into his pocket.

0:23:310:23:34

-Then he came home and carved it

-into a love spoon in the shed.

0:23:340:23:38

-Oh, that's nice.

0:23:380:23:40

-Oh, that's nice.

-

-Yes. So I'm taking it with me.

0:23:400:23:42

-Is he romantic?

0:23:430:23:44

-Is he romantic?

-

-Yes. I'm really lucky.

0:23:440:23:46

-He's much better than me

-at remembering dates.

0:23:460:23:50

-So you'd save the bag,

-the love spoon and what other item?

0:23:500:23:54

-Well, so far it's an easy job

-because the items are small.

0:23:560:24:00

-But my third item is the sofa.

0:24:010:24:03

-The big one?

0:24:030:24:04

-Yes, so it'll be a bit tricky

-but we'll be fine.

0:24:050:24:08

-It's the best sofa in the world.

0:24:090:24:11

-We bought it on eBay for 100.

0:24:110:24:13

-I've got to take that sofa with me

-wherever I go from now on.

0:24:150:24:19

-If you ever move...

0:24:190:24:21

-..your new house must have

-a room that's big enough for it!

0:24:210:24:25

-I don't think we'll ever move.

0:24:260:24:28

-Is this your forever home?

0:24:280:24:30

-Yes, I think so.

0:24:310:24:32

-We've made it

-just the way we want it.

0:24:320:24:35

-I enjoyed being with you

-in your home.

0:24:360:24:39

-Come back next Sunday

-and I'll cook for you.

0:24:390:24:42

-Oh, great!

0:24:420:24:43

-Oh, great!

-

-Well, I won't cook - Iwan will.

0:24:430:24:45

-You make good coffee

-but the cup's big.

0:24:460:24:48

-Can I go to the loo, please?

0:24:480:24:50

-Can I go to the loo, please?

-

-That way.

0:24:500:24:52

-I had a lovely time with Non, Iwan,

-Will, Jacob and Kitty in Ty Ni.

0:24:580:25:03

-Join me next week,

-when I meet another famous face.

0:25:030:25:07

-Goodbye.

-Hello! Welcome to Hwb.

0:25:430:25:45

-How are you?

0:25:450:25:47

-I'm fine, thank you.

0:25:470:25:48

-Welcome.

0:25:490:25:51

-You give the best hugs ever!

0:25:510:25:53

-Nice hugs and nice leather trousers!

0:25:550:25:58

-Nice hugs and nice leather trousers!

-

-They're not leather.

0:25:580:25:59

-You work on Radio Cymru.

0:26:010:26:02

-You work on Radio Cymru.

-

-Yes, that's right.

0:26:020:26:04

-I've been a DJ for almost a decade.

0:26:040:26:06

-I started working in radio in 2003.

0:26:070:26:09

-Yes, it's almost ten years.

0:26:100:26:12

-Do you prefer radio work

-or do you prefer television?

0:26:120:26:16

-They're totally different.

0:26:170:26:19

-Radio is intimate.

0:26:190:26:21

-You're in a studio with just

-a microphone and the listeners.

0:26:210:26:25

-There's a crew there in television

-but it's more fun.

0:26:250:26:29

-You can wear pyjamas and no make-up

-when you're on the radio!

0:26:290:26:34

-A onesie!

0:26:340:26:35

-What sort of music do you play?

0:26:410:26:43

-What sort of music do you play?

-

-I play the best music, Matt!

0:26:430:26:46

-She only plays the best music.

0:26:460:26:49

-Why? I don't mean why I mean what!

0:26:500:26:52

-Pa fath o gerddoriaeth -

-what sort of music?

0:26:520:26:56

-We're very lucky.

0:26:560:26:58

-A lot of excellent music is being

-produced in Wales at the moment.

0:26:580:27:03

-I only play the good stuff.

-I don't play rubbish on the radio.

0:27:030:27:07

-Do you choose the tracks...

0:27:080:27:10

-..or does the production team

-give you a playlist?

0:27:100:27:13

-I've worked with the same producer

-for years.

0:27:140:27:17

-We're good friends and we understand

-each other's musical taste.

0:27:170:27:23

-Chwaeth. That's a good word.

0:27:230:27:25

-Chwaeth cerddorol - musical taste.

0:27:250:27:28

-Gareth knows what I will like

-and what I won't like.

0:27:290:27:33

-You started your television career

-with Planed Plant and then Uned5.

0:27:330:27:38

-I remember Uned5.

0:27:390:27:41

-I remember you on Uned5 years ago.

0:27:410:27:43

-I loved Uned5.

0:27:430:27:45

-I loved Uned5.

-

-I loved it too.

0:27:450:27:46

-I miss Uned5.

0:27:470:27:48

-Smile, it's Friday!

-It had a real feelgood factor.

0:27:480:27:52

-Yes.

0:27:530:27:54

-I remember you driving that Mini.

0:27:550:27:58

-A Mini roll!

0:27:580:28:00

-A Mini roll!

-

-You rolled it?

0:28:000:28:01

-Yes, in the John Cooper Challenge

-ten years ago.

0:28:020:28:06

-Did you visit Madagascar?

0:28:070:28:09

-Did you visit Madagascar?

-

-Yes, with Gethin Jones.

0:28:090:28:10

-What sort of place was Madagascar?

0:28:110:28:13

-What sort of place was Madagascar?

-

-Oh, Madagascar!

0:28:130:28:15

-Obviously,

-I'd never been there before.

0:28:150:28:18

-If I remember rightly, it's

-the world's fourth largest island.

0:28:180:28:23

-The fourth largest island

-in the world.

0:28:230:28:26

-We travelled south,

-from the capital city.

0:28:280:28:31

-You wouldn't believe

-the state of the roads.

0:28:310:28:34

-The roads were really bumpy.

0:28:350:28:37

-We travelled to a very special place

-which was a village for orphans.

0:28:400:28:45

-Plant amddifad - orphans.

0:28:480:28:50

-She went to a village for orphans.

0:28:500:28:52

-There were also

-some terribly ill people.

0:28:530:28:56

-It was really sad but it was also

-an amazing experience.

0:28:570:29:01

-They were so happy despite the fact

-they had nothing.

0:29:020:29:05

-Wow! I was so lucky.

0:29:060:29:07

-You went from presenting Uned5

-to producing the show.

0:29:080:29:11

-Two very different experiences.

0:29:120:29:14

-Was it more difficult

-or was it easier?

0:29:140:29:17

-More difficult.

0:29:170:29:19

-Well, I had more responsibility.

0:29:190:29:21

-Cyfrifoldeb - responsibility.

0:29:220:29:24

-You wouldn't know what that is!

-Maybe when you're 40!

0:29:240:29:28

-Did you enjoy the responsibility?

0:29:290:29:30

-Did you enjoy the responsibility?

-

-Yes, of course.

0:29:300:29:32

-I still worked on Uned5.

0:29:320:29:34

-I still met the amazing guests

-who came to the studio every week.

0:29:340:29:39

-It was great fun. Good times.

0:29:390:29:41

-How do you relax?

0:29:410:29:43

-I listen to music.

0:29:430:29:45

-Do you have a favourite band?

0:29:450:29:48

-Mutation. Boosh!

0:29:490:29:50

-I went to Ysgol Glan Clwyd.

-We didn't do mutations!

0:29:500:29:54

-Mutations? Irrelevant!

0:29:550:29:57

-The Welsh teacher won't be happy!

0:29:580:30:00

-Do you have a favourite band?

0:30:010:30:03

-Yes, but I'm not telling you.

-I can't do that.

0:30:030:30:06

-Really?

0:30:070:30:08

-Yes, because I'm friends

-with lots of band members.

0:30:080:30:12

-The music scene is really healthy.

0:30:130:30:15

-Speaking of the scene,

-you've got a new series on S4C.

0:30:160:30:20

-It's starting soon

-and it's a musical series.

0:32:190:32:22

-Breuddwyd - dream.

0:32:320:32:34

-Breuddwyd - dream.

-

-Yes, it's my dream job.

0:32:340:32:36

-but not in cars.

0:32:400:32:43

0:32:450:32:47

0:32:500:32:55

-Cross-country races?

0:32:570:32:58

-Yes, usually in woodland.

0:32:590:33:01

-Like mountain biking

-but on a motorbike?

0:33:010:33:04

-Yes.

0:33:040:33:05

-Have you ever had an accident?

0:33:060:33:08

-Have you ever had an accident?

-

-Yes, I've had lots of them!

0:33:080:33:10

-I had my first accident when

-I'd just passed my driving test.

0:33:110:33:16

-I was 17 years old

-and driving my dad's car...

0:33:160:33:20

-..to see my wejen - girlfriend.

0:33:210:33:23

-Wejen is a good word.

-Matt, have you got a wejen?

0:33:240:33:27

-One or two!

0:33:270:33:28

-I was going too fast

-and I drove up the hedge.

0:33:310:33:35

-Lan y clawdd - up the hedge.

0:33:360:33:38

-The car rolled over, upside-down...

0:33:380:33:41

-..and I spent eight weeks

-in traction in hospital.

0:33:410:33:46

-I'd broken my neck!

0:33:460:33:48

-No way! Really?

0:33:490:33:50

-No way! Really?

-

-Yes.

0:33:500:33:51

-and he films it too!

0:33:590:34:03

-He does everything.

0:34:030:34:04

-What's multitasking in Welsh?

0:34:050:34:07

-Amldalentog is multitalented.

0:34:080:34:10

-Which do you prefer doing?

0:34:100:34:12

-Presenting is my favourite job.

0:34:130:34:16

-I also get a lot out of directing

-and producing.

0:34:170:34:21

-I enjoy it all.

0:34:250:34:26

-You've also won some awards.

-Congratulations.

0:34:270:34:31

-Thank you.

0:34:310:34:33

-Why don't you ask him what for?

-Am beth?

0:34:330:34:36

-What for?

0:34:370:34:38

-I think you're referring to

-the BAFTA Cymru I won...

0:34:400:34:43

-..for a programme

-about Cerys Matthews.

0:34:430:34:46

-I won it

-for a documentary about her.

0:34:480:34:50

-Did you direct it?

0:34:510:34:52

-Did you direct it?

-

-Yes, I directed and produced it.

0:34:520:34:55

-It was about her time in Nashville,

-after Catatonia had split up.

0:34:570:35:01

-She'd just started

-to sing folk music...

0:35:010:35:04

-..and she recorded Cockahoop.

0:35:040:35:07

-Cockahoop.

-Yes, I remember that album.

0:35:070:35:10

-I went to Nashville with Cerys.

0:35:110:35:14

-Nice!

0:35:140:35:15

-Nice!

-

-Yes - lovely.

0:35:150:35:16

-You acted in Rownd A Rownd too.

0:35:170:35:19

-Was that when you were a child?

0:35:200:35:22

-No, I was a taxi driver.

0:35:220:35:24

-I was Jac The Taxi.

0:35:240:35:25

-Did Jac have an accident?

0:35:270:35:29

-Yes, Jac did have an accident!

0:35:300:35:33

-I played Jac for two years.

0:35:330:35:35

-Lowri Morgan has been here,

-talking about the races she's run.

0:35:360:35:41

-You went to the Arctic with Lowri.

0:35:410:35:43

-What sort of experience was that?

0:35:440:35:47

-It was hard for Lowri

-but was it hard for the crew too.

0:35:470:35:50

-It was an amazing experience.

0:35:510:35:53

-It was just so cold!

0:35:540:35:56

-It was -40 degrees

-the entire time we were there.

0:35:570:36:01

-Also, because Lowri walked

-the whole time, we didn't stop.

0:36:040:36:09

-You did the race too, in a way.

0:36:100:36:12

-Yes, but we had a car!

0:36:130:36:14

-Oh, well! They had a car!

0:36:150:36:16

-It was still cold!

0:36:170:36:19

-It was still quite difficult!

0:36:190:36:22

-The engine was turning for ten days.

0:36:250:36:28

-You couldn't turn it off

-or it would have frozen.

0:36:310:36:34

-It's just like North Wales!

0:36:340:36:36

-Oh, I hate being cold.

0:36:370:36:38

-She gets grumpy!

0:37:150:37:17

-It's nice to see you

-on my television.

0:37:170:37:20

-Where do you live?

0:37:220:37:23

-Where do you live?

-

-I live in Houston, Texas.

0:37:230:37:25

-I was born here.

0:37:250:37:27

-What Welsh connections do you have?

0:37:280:37:30

-My mother is Welsh.

0:37:310:37:33

-She comes from Llanidloes.

0:37:350:37:38

-She taught me a little bit of Welsh

-when I was growing up, in Texas.

0:37:390:37:44

-Did you speak Welsh to your mother

-when you were a child...

0:37:450:37:49

-..or didn't you speak much Welsh?

0:37:500:37:52

-I didn't speak much Welsh.

0:37:530:37:55

-I now speak Welsh to my dogs!

0:37:560:37:59

-Do they understand Welsh?

0:38:010:38:02

-Do they understand Welsh?

-

-Yes - they speak Welsh and English.

0:38:020:38:04

-Have you been to Llanidloes?

0:38:050:38:07

-Have you spent time in Wales?

0:38:070:38:09

-Yes, I was in Llanidloes

-last November.

0:38:100:38:13

-It's always nice to be in Wales.

-I love Wales.

0:38:140:38:17

-I listen to Radio Cymru

-every morning, as I drink my coffee.

0:38:200:38:25

-Dw i'n hoffi coffi!

0:38:250:38:27

-Excellent!

0:38:280:38:30

-Show us your mug!

0:38:300:38:32

-Sterling, in all seriousness,

-what is your motivation?

0:38:370:38:41

-Why is learning Welsh

-so important to you?

0:38:410:38:44

-I want to keep

-the old language alive.

0:38:450:38:48

-He wants to

-keep the old language alive.

0:38:490:38:52

-That's a wonderful motive.

0:38:520:38:54

-Can you speak Welsh

-with any other person in Texas...

0:38:570:39:00

-..or do you just talk

-over the internet?

0:39:010:39:04

-I know one person in Dallas.

-He's a Welsh learner too.

0:39:050:39:09

-I only know one person in this area

-who can speak Welsh.

0:39:100:39:14

-How do you feel about the fact that

-not everyone in Wales speaks Welsh?

0:39:160:39:21

-I think it's really sad.

0:39:210:39:23

-I try to explain it

-to the people here, in Texas...

0:39:250:39:29

-..that the majority of the people

-of Wales don't speak Welsh.

0:39:290:39:33

-They think Welsh is a dead language.

0:39:350:39:40

-I always tell people that the

-language is still very much alive.

0:39:400:39:45

-It's alive in all areas of Wales.

0:39:450:39:48

-I can see the red dragon and

-the stars and stripes behind you.

0:39:480:39:53

-Yes - I'm half Welsh

-and half American.

0:39:530:39:56

-I'm a Welshman abroad!

0:39:560:39:58

-Do you have any tips for me?

0:40:000:40:02

-Listen, listen, listen!

0:40:030:40:04

-Thank you very much.

0:40:050:40:06

-Thank you very much.

-

-Thank you.

0:40:060:40:08

-Thank you, Sterling.

-It's lovely to meet you.

0:40:080:40:11

-Thank you for watching Hwb in Texas

-and thank you for your support.

0:40:120:40:16

-Thank you for your help every week.

0:40:160:40:19

-Via Skype, all the way

-from Arlington, near Boston...

0:40:240:40:28

-..it's Jan Stetson.

0:40:280:40:29

-Hello, Jan! How are you?

0:40:300:40:32

-Hello, Jan! How are you?

-

-Hello! How are you?

0:40:320:40:34

-I'm fine, thank you. Are you OK?

0:40:350:40:37

-I'm fine, thank you. Are you OK?

-

-Yes, I'm very well, thank you.

0:40:370:40:40

-Excellent.

0:40:400:40:41

-Jan, why did you

-want to speak Welsh?

0:40:420:40:45

-My daughter and I

-were listening to a fantasy book.

0:40:460:40:49

-An audiobook.

0:40:510:40:53

-The story was set in Wales...

0:40:540:40:56

-..and there was

-a little bit of Welsh in the book.

0:40:570:41:01

-My daughter said,

-"Oh, I like Welsh and I like Wales!"

0:41:030:41:06

-"I want to speak Welsh!"

0:41:070:41:09

-A while after that, I heard about

-a Welsh class in Cambridge.

0:41:120:41:17

-Who was the tutor?

0:41:210:41:24

-The tutor is a Welshman.

0:41:250:41:28

-He's a Harvard graduate.

0:41:340:41:36

-How did you keep up your Welsh?

0:41:380:41:40

-With Say Something In Welsh.

0:41:410:41:43

-I can practise speaking and reading.

0:41:450:41:48

-What do you do for a living?

0:41:480:41:50

-I write and design

-for computer companies.

0:41:540:41:57

-I write in computer language.

0:42:010:42:03

-And, in a way, learning Welsh

-is just another language for you.

0:42:070:42:11

-Learning Welsh must be easier

-than learning computer language!

0:42:110:42:16

-Welsh. Javascript.

0:42:180:42:20

-It's all the same to me!

0:42:210:42:23

-Have you been to Wales?

0:42:250:42:27

-Yes, I've been to Wales twice.

0:42:280:42:30

-Once, I came over to go to the

-Say Something In Welsh boot camp...

0:42:320:42:37

-..and I also came to Wales

-for the Eisteddfod.

0:42:370:42:40

-Did you enjoy the Eisteddfod?

0:42:400:42:42

-Did you enjoy the Eisteddfod?

-

-Yes, very much so.

0:42:420:42:44

-I really enjoyed the Eisteddfod.

0:42:440:42:46

-I particularly liked

-the Ty Gwerin events.

0:42:480:42:51

-I heard lots

-of traditional, Welsh music there.

0:42:540:42:58

-I really loved it.

0:43:000:43:01

-With whom do you speak Welsh?

0:43:030:43:05

-I speak Welsh with people across

-the world, via Google+ or Skype.

0:43:060:43:11

-I also speak Welsh

-with people in the Boston area...

0:43:140:43:19

-..because I organize meetings

-of a small group of Welsh learners.

0:43:190:43:24

-We meet once a month...

0:43:260:43:29

-..in a cafe in Cambridge.

0:43:310:43:34

-We speak Welsh to each other.

0:43:350:43:38

-Practice makes perfect.

0:43:380:43:40

-Yes indeed.

0:43:400:43:42

-Jan, thank you so much for the chat.

0:43:420:43:44

-It's been wonderful to talk to you.

0:43:440:43:47

-I can't believe you're in Boston

-and yet, you speak great Welsh.

0:43:470:43:52

-Thank you very much.

0:43:520:43:54

-Thank you too. I really enjoyed it.

0:43:560:43:58

-Hello, Diane!

0:44:040:44:05

-Hello, Diane!

-

-Hello!

0:44:050:44:07

-How are you?

0:44:070:44:08

-How are you?

-

-I'm very well, thank you.

0:44:080:44:10

-How's the weather?

0:44:110:44:12

-It's sunny but it's a bit chilly.

-It's very nice.

0:44:140:44:17

-Just like Wales!

0:44:180:44:20

-Diane, why did you

-want to speak Welsh?

0:44:210:44:24

-I now want to speak Welsh...

0:44:260:44:28

-..because I've fallen in love

-with the language.

0:44:280:44:32

-I first started to learn Welsh

-before I went on holiday to Wales.

0:44:340:44:39

-At the time, I simply wanted to

-learn to pronounce names correctly.

0:44:390:44:44

-How did you go about learning Welsh?

0:44:450:44:48

-Online.

0:44:490:44:50

-I've done

-the Say Something In Welsh courses.

0:44:500:44:54

-I've also listened to Radio Cymru

-and I've read widely online.

0:44:540:44:59

-Have you watched Hwb?

0:45:010:45:03

-Yes, of course.

-I watch Hwb on YouTube.

0:45:040:45:06

-Fantastic!

0:45:070:45:08

-Diane, where do you live?

0:45:090:45:11

-I live in Alexandria, Virginia,

-which isn't far from Washington DC.

0:45:110:45:17

-That's amazing!

0:45:170:45:18

-International Welsh learning!

0:45:180:45:21

-Have you been to Wales?

0:45:220:45:23

-Have you been to Wales?

-

-Yes, I've been to Wales three times.

0:45:230:45:26

-I went to a boot camp in Tresaith

-to speak Welsh for a week...

0:45:280:45:33

-..with Say Something In Welsh.

0:45:340:45:36

-I also went to the 2011 Eisteddfod

-in Wrexham...

0:45:370:45:41

-..and to this year's Eisteddfod

-in the Vale Of Glamorgan.

0:45:410:45:45

-Was the Eisteddfod

-a culture shock for you?

0:45:460:45:49

-Yes, it was a culture shock

-but it's just one big party.

0:45:500:45:53

-It feels like a family reunion.

-It's wonderful.
