-..which is now known as The Mount. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |

-Llanuwchllyn, five miles from Bala, -has an old chapel... | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
-..and that's where Michael D Jones -is buried. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |

-We have everything here. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
-People ask me -how I can live in an area... | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
-..where there are no supermarkets -and which has no hospital. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:49 | |
-My answer is... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:50 | |

-..I doubt they'd name Glan-llyn. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
-The reality is we're the area's -second-biggest employer. | 0:08:56 | 0:09:01 | |
-People don't see us as a business -and that's a good thing... | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
-..because Glan-llyn -is more than a business. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |

-..when we talk about the legend -of Tegid and Bala Lake. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |

-..then jump off and race home -instead of weeding. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |

-No, I left the village of Parc -about 15 years ago. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
-I work as a nurse, -specializing in research. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
-I enjoy my work in London. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
-You're a nurse by day... | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
-..but in your spare time, -you take part in crazy activities. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:58 | |
-Some people think my adventures -are rather crazy! | 0:15:58 | 0:16:02 | |
-I like rowing across -the Atlantic and Indian oceans... | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
-..swimming from Gozo to Malta -and little things like that! | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
-I'd say you were bonkers, -totally bonkers. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
-Some people think I'm bonkers -but I enjoy the challenge. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:19 | |
-Are you training for an event now? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
-Yes, for the Zurich Ironman - -a 3.8km swim across Lake Zurich. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:27 | |
-You also have to run and cycle -for an Ironman challenge. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
-After swimming, I cycle 112 miles -and run a marathon. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
-If you're going to take up -that sort of venture... | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
-..growing up in an area like this -is the perfect preparation for you. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:45 | |
-Yes - perfect. -I was raised on a farm in Parc. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
-Training on Arenig and on the lake -is all the inspiration I need. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
-It keeps me going. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
-You're going to swim -in the lake today. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
-I was really looking forward to -joining you but I've hurt my leg. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
-But my arm's fine -and I'm wearing my watch. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
-I'll time your swim. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:09 | |
-You have two and a half minutes -to get changed. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
-Run! | 0:17:13 | 0:17:14 | |
-Well done, Elin! Keep it going. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
-She's mad! | 0:17:32 | 0:17:33 | |
-Bala Lake -is the home of a rare fish. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:37 | |
-It lives at the bottom of the lake -and it's called the gwyniad. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
-The gwyniad has been here -since the Ice Age... | 0:17:43 | 0:17:46 | |
-..and you'll only find it -in this lake. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-Rowenna Williams and Derwyn, -her son, live near the lake. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:57 | |
-Shan Cothi came here to meet them... | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
-..and to learn -all about environmental art. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
-She also learned how to make -a vegetable and nettle stew. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
-Hello, Rowenna. How are you? | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
-What are you making today? -You're busy. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
-I'm making a piece of art. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
-The idea is -the river flowing down to the lake. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:22 | |
-It doesn't look like a mountain -but that's the idea behind it. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
-Tell us about the Wild Art Wales -project that you run. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:32 | |
-That's the business we run -which involves environmental art. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:38 | |
-We encourage people -of all abilities and all ages. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:43 | |
-The work doesn't have to end up -in the Tate! | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
-You live close to the lake. -It's a lovely place. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
-It's hard to be angry about anything -when you live in a place like this. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:55 | |
-I look out of my window... | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
-..and I see the lake -and the snow-capped mountains. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
-Isn't it wonderful? | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
-We're spoilt in Wales. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:04 | |
-We're spoilt in Wales. - -Yes. We're lucky. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
-Hello, Derwyn. You're busy. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
-I'm making stew. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
-I thought it'd be nice today, -on such a cold day. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
-I fancy some stew. -What's in this stew - vegetables? | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
-Vegetables - carrots, potatoes, -garlic and ginger. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:34 | |
-I'm going to add some nettles. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
-They taste nice in a stew. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-I've never tasted them. In they go. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:49 | |
-You don't go to school. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:50 | |
-Does Mam teach you at home? | 0:19:51 | 0:19:52 | |
-Does Mam teach you at home? - -Yes, most of the time. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
-I prefer learning at home -than attending school. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:58 | |
-You're learning to live in a way -that's in keeping with nature. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:03 | |
-It's better than sitting at a desk, -day after day... | 0:20:03 | 0:20:09 | |
-..writing away. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
-You're happy about that? | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
-You're happy about that? - -Yes, I prefer the way I'm taught. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
-Is the stew ready? | 0:20:16 | 0:20:17 | |
-Is the stew ready? - -Yes. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
-Do you have some bowls? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
-These three. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:26 | |
-Lovely. Here we go. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
-Share it between three. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
-Home-made stew, -fresh from Bala Lake. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
-Rowenna, the stew is ready. -Hurry up. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:37 | |
-Thank you. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
-Thank Derwyn, not me. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
-Here's a spoon. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
-Lovely. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
-Well, life couldn't be better. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
-Cheers! | 0:20:53 | 0:20:54 | |
-Marian Delyth, the photographer, -came to the Penllyn area... | 0:20:55 | 0:21:00 | |
-..to take photographs for the book -Wales: 100 Places by Dr John Davies. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:05 | |
-Here she is, with Aled Sam. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
-Marian Delyth explains -her choice of photographs... | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
-..in the chapter -on Penllyn and Bala. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:18 | |
-As a good Christian Welshman... | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
-..the one person I associate -with Bala is Thomas Charles. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
-Is it therefore a prerequisite -to have a photo of him in the book? | 0:21:26 | 0:21:31 | |
-I thought it was important... | 0:21:31 | 0:21:33 | |
-..to feature him as one of our -national icons and as a statue. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:39 | |
-I remember seeing photographs -of this statue as a child. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:43 | |
-That's maybe one of the reasons -why I chose this photograph... | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
-..to represent Penllyn. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:49 | |
-The traditional photograph of Bala -is again generic... | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
-..showing its location and so on. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
-It featured in the panel -at the top of the page. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:02 | |
-I took the main photograph... | 0:22:04 | 0:22:07 | |
-..as I passed through Bala -on Boxing Day. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:12 | |
-You have to take advantage -of fine weather... | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
-..when you travel around Wales. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
-The difference -is that subjects jump out at you. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
-You're not searching for a subject. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
-The weather -lends itself to the image. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
-The edge of the lake had frozen. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
-I enjoyed the detailed photography. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
-I thought -you'd photographed this tree... | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
-..as it's shaped like a snowflake -to convey the cold weather. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:57 | |
-I hadn't seen that, -but it's a great observation. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
-I enjoy hearing people's remarks... | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
-..because we all see -different things in images. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
-Usually, the tree... | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
-..wouldn't be the central theme -of the photograph. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:14 | |
-But the elements complement -each other so perfectly here. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:19 | |
-Perhaps that's why -I chose the tree... | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
-..as the focal point -of this photograph. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
-You have a similar image here, -except it's waterlogged. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
-Yes, this shows -how an image changes... | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
-..at different times, -in a different light... | 0:23:33 | 0:23:38 | |
-..and in different circumstances. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
-Again, I happened to be -passing through Bala... | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
-..after floods. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:46 | |
-Although it's completely different, -it's from the same vantage point. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:51 | |
-Again, it comes down -to the editing for the book. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
-You tend to go -for the pretty picture... | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
-..which shows Penllyn... | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
-..in all its glory. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
-The wonderful David Meredith -lives up there... | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
-..above the village of Llanuwchllyn. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:15 | |
-David has retired from his work -in the field of public relations... | 0:24:19 | 0:24:24 | |
-..but wearing a suit, shirt and tie -is still very important to him. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:30 | |
-I met David a while ago as part of -the series Cwpwrdd Dillad. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:37 | |
-That's when I found out he keeps -his clothes in a shed by the lake. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:44 | |
-I'm about to have the privilege -of seeing inside your wardrobe. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:52 | |
-It's my privilege to show it to you. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
-After you. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
-After you. - -You're too kind. | 0:24:58 | 0:24:59 | |
-I'm sure other people -have larger collections of ties... | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
-..but I'm very fond of them. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
-Do you receive many as presents? -These have your stamp on them. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:13 | |
-I don't receive enough presents. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
-Listen up! | 0:25:16 | 0:25:17 | |
-Listen up! - -I'd love many more presents. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
-Do you have one favourite tie? | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
-Do you have one favourite tie? - -No. I treasure them all. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:25 | |
-This is a nice colour. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:27 | |
-This is a lovely, spotty tie. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
-I'm very fond of it. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:31 | |
-Is the handkerchief -an ever-present feature? | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
-No, I sometimes forget to wear one. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
-You wear them on special occasions, -such as today. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:41 | |
-I'm fond of this suit. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:45 | |
-I bought it in Cannes, to wear -during the film festival and so on. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:50 | |
-I was looking for -a lily-white suit. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
-I really wanted a white suit -with wonderful lapels... | 0:25:55 | 0:25:58 | |
-..but I couldn't find one, -on land or sea. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
-I compromised -and I settled for this colour. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
-I've grown very fond of it. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
-Other colours -go really well with it. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:15 | |
-Blue and red, in particular. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
-What about David Meredith, -the private man? | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
-What do you wear -on a Saturday morning? | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |
-A tie and a suit. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:30 | |
-A tie and a suit. - -At home, on a Saturday? | 0:26:30 | 0:26:31 | |
-Yes - I wear a tie every day. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
-I strive to wear a tie all the time. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
-You don't wear a tie in bed! | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
-Please tell me you don't! | 0:26:42 | 0:26:43 | |
-Please tell me you don't! - -No, of course not. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:44 | |
-The tie is a restricting, yet warm -item of clothing. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:51 | |
-That's part of its glory. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
-I've seen a photograph of you -wearing a T-shirt. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
-You tried to tell me -you didn't own a T-shirt. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
-I do wear this, occasionally, -in the privacy of my own home. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
-I designed this T-shirt -when I was running my own company. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:10 | |
-It promotes the Welsh International -Film Festival. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
-You were wearing a shirt and tie -under the T-shirt in the photo. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:21 | |
-That's true. -Thank you for pointing that out. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
-Did you wear huge collars -in the 1970s? | 0:27:25 | 0:27:29 | |
-To my extreme embarrassment... | 0:27:29 | 0:27:31 | |
-..I wore rounded collars. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
-I like them. They're great. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
-I like them. They're great. - -Yes, they're very funky! | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
-I like double-breasted jackets. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
-They envelop you. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:46 | |
-The colour is wonderful. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
-Any shirt and tie -goes with this suit. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
-There's a beer mat in the pocket. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
-There's a beer mat in the pocket. - -A special beer mat. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:56 | |
-"Start every conversation in Welsh". | 0:27:56 | 0:27:59 | |
-This is a "bola deri". | 0:28:02 | 0:28:03 | |
-I use that term -and I receive blank looks. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:07 | |
-I've just given you a blank look! | 0:28:07 | 0:28:09 | |
-This is a Moss Bros suit -and I call it a "bola deri". | 0:28:09 | 0:28:13 | |
-It's a formal, dinner suit. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
-Did you wear this to the Oscars? | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
-Did you wear this to the Oscars? - -Yes, indeed. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
-This is my Oscars suit. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:24 | |
-What an experience! | 0:28:24 | 0:28:25 | |
-What an experience! - -It doesn't happen every day. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
-I'm fond of this and I'm delighted -I kept it for all these years. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:35 | |
-This coat is back in fashion. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
-Good friends of mine have begged me -not to wear this coat! | 0:28:40 | 0:28:44 | |
-They didn't mince their words. | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
-"Don't wear that ancient coat," -they'd say. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:50 | |
-I ignored them and, lo and behold, -it's back in fashion. | 0:28:50 | 0:28:54 | |
-And you're in your hut. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:56 | |
-You're a stylish man. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:58 | |
-You're a stylish man. - -Thank you very much. | 0:28:58 | 0:28:59 | |
-Look at these stylish surroundings. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:02 | |
-Wonderful trees -and green, lush growth. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:07 | |
-Welsh soil. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
-Join me after the break to meet -Bala hairdresser, Gary Jones... | 0:29:10 | 0:29:15 | |
-..and Ria Thomas, -who makes Welsh greetings cards. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:19 | |

-Welcome back to Bala. | 0:29:35 | 0:29:36 | |
-Let's meet a local man, Gary Jones. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:39 | |
-Gary Jones runs -a mobile hairdressing business... | 0:29:41 | 0:29:45 | |
-..so he travels around the Bala area -cutting hair. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:49 | |
-He took part in the S4C series, -Y Plas... | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
-..where people went back in history -to learn how people lived... | 0:29:52 | 0:29:57 | |
-..by playing the role -of people living in a mansion. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:01 | |
-Gary was given the role -of a servant. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
-I'm Gary and I live in Bala. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
-I'm 38 and I run my own -mobile hairdressing business. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:14 | |
-I've done that for five years... | 0:30:16 | 0:30:18 | |
-..but I've been a hairdresser -for 15 years. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:22 | |
-Bala people -will be absolutely gobsmacked! | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
-Gary doesn't seem like the type -of person who'd want to do that. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:33 | |
-People will be thrilled. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:35 | |
-Once someone from Bala is on a show, -we all talk about it. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:40 | |
-I live with Oscar, my Persian cat. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
-He's great fun -and he's really clever. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:53 | |
-Life in the mansion will be -totally different from my life now. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:01 | |
-Gary comes over almost every day. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
-If there's a pot of tea brewing -or a bacon sandwich on the go... | 0:31:09 | 0:31:13 | |
-..Gary will turn up! | 0:31:13 | 0:31:15 | |
-He has a twin sister. -Her name is Linda. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
-We'll miss him when he's on Y Plas -but we're glad he's going in there. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:23 | |
-We're all very excited. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:25 | |
-I'll be glued to the box! | 0:31:28 | 0:31:30 | |
-I get the feeling it'll be hard work -but I'll do it all the same. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:37 | |
-I wouldn't refuse to do any job... | 0:31:37 | 0:31:40 | |
-..but looking after pigs -and having to muck out after them? | 0:31:40 | 0:31:45 | |
-Having to shovel pig mess? | 0:31:47 | 0:31:49 | |
-No! | 0:31:49 | 0:31:50 | |
-Here on the High Street, -there's a statue... | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
-..of another of Bala's famous sons - -Thomas Edward Ellis. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:59 | |
-Tom Ellis -was the MP for Merionethshire... | 0:32:00 | 0:32:03 | |
-..in the late 19th century. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
-He worked hard for Wales -and the Welsh language. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
-Most of the shops, cafes and -businesses on the High Street... | 0:32:10 | 0:32:14 | |
-..have Welsh names. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
-Ria Thomas has a gift shop here, -as Shan Cothi discovered. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:23 | |
-I'm on the High Street -in the centre of Bala. | 0:32:27 | 0:32:30 | |
-It's full of lovely little shops. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:33 | |
-This one caught my eye. -I'm going in for a closer look. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:37 | |
-This shop was opened -by Ria Thomas three years ago. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:40 | |
-She sells all sorts of trinkets - -from decorations to jewellery. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:46 | |
-Her cards are renowned locally. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
-Ria, you're originally from Bala. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
-Why did you return here -to open a card shop? | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
-After leaving college... | 0:32:56 | 0:32:58 | |
-..I decided I wanted to return -to the area where I was raised. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:02 | |
-You make these cards. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |
-Where do you make them? | 0:33:05 | 0:33:07 | |
-I have a workshop at the back. | 0:33:07 | 0:33:09 | |
-Is it as tidy as this? -Let's go and have a look at it. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:14 | |
-I hadn't planned to have a go and -I was never good at art in school. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:19 | |
-I obviously hadn't improved. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
-How long does it take you -to complete a set of cards? | 0:33:25 | 0:33:31 | |
-I'd say it takes about an hour -to make and pack 10 cards... | 0:33:31 | 0:33:36 | |
-..before they go on the shelves. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:39 | |
-You need concentration -and discipline. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:43 | |
-After making these flowers -for years, it comes naturally now. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:51 | |
-I've made a flower here. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
-I don't think anyone in Bala -has seen one like this before. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
-Six petals. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:01 | |
-I don't know if it's good enough -for your cards but it is unique. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:06 | |
-It's good for a first attempt. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
-You're too kind! | 0:34:09 | 0:34:11 | |
-What do the people of Bala think of -their town and of the Penllyn area? | 0:34:13 | 0:34:17 | |
-The Bala area is wonderful. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:20 | |
-It's beautiful. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:22 | |
-We have a lake, -magnificent mountains and rivers. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
-It's a rural area -and that hasn't changed. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
-You hear a lot of Welsh here. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:31 | |
-If you go to Bala -to do your shopping... | 0:34:31 | 0:34:34 | |
-..you'll always find someone -to chat to in Welsh. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:37 | |
-It's good because -you hear Welsh all the time... | 0:34:38 | 0:34:42 | |
-..all day. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:44 | |
-I'm learning Welsh because -I hear it around me all the time. | 0:34:44 | 0:34:48 | |
-It's important to learn Welsh -if you live here. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:52 | |
-Join me after the break... | 0:34:54 | 0:34:56 | |

-Welcome back. | 0:35:15 | 0:35:16 | |
-I'm standing on the banks -of River Tryweryn... | 0:35:17 | 0:35:20 | |
-..at the point where it meets -River Dee, near Bala. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:23 | |
-River Tryweryn is world-famous -as a white water sports river. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:30 | |
-The National White Water Centre -is four miles upriver from Bala. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:35 | |
-Llyn Celyn, a large reservoir, -is a mile from the Centre. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:41 | |
-The village of Capel Celyn -was drowned to create the reservoir. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:46 | |
-In the 1960s, the city of Liverpool -needed some more water... | 0:35:47 | 0:35:51 | |
-..and they came up with the idea -of creating a reservoir... | 0:35:51 | 0:35:55 | |
-..by flooding the valley -in which Capel Celyn stood. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:59 | |
-The people of Penllyn and Wales -said no... | 0:36:01 | 0:36:04 | |
-..but the voice of the city -of Liverpool was stronger. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:08 | |
-They drowned the valley in 1965. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:11 | |
-River Dee flows north west from Bala -towards the sea. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:19 | |
-Let's follow the river for 15 miles -to the village of Cerrigydrudion. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:24 | |
-Bryn Jones and Llyr, his son, -have a farm here. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:31 | |
-They produce rapeseed oil there, -as Bryn Williams discovered. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:35 | |
-For help to follow the programme, go -to the website, download the app... | 0:36:37 | 0:36:42 | |
-..and don't forget the subtitles! | 0:36:42 | 0:36:44 | |
-Bryn Jones and Llyr Jones -produce rapeseed oil. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:13 | |
-Rapeseed oil, with its distinct -colour, is great for cooking. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:17 | |
-What's the name of your oil? | 0:37:21 | 0:37:22 | |
-What's the name of your oil? - -Blodyn Aur. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:23 | |
-Gold flower - the flower -and the fields are gold. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:28 | |
-The oil is golden too, isn't it? | 0:37:28 | 0:37:30 | |
-Yes. It's golden -and it's totally clear. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:33 | |
-It's a lovely sight. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:35 | |
-Yes. It's a great colour. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:38 | |
-It has a really unique flavour. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:43 | |
-It tastes great -and you can cook with it. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:47 | |
-Yes. It's really good in stir-fries, -where you use a high heat. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
-The nutrients in it aren't affected -by high temperatures. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:57 | |
-It certainly works as a cooking oil. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:02 | |
-You and your rapeseed oil -will take over the world! | 0:38:04 | 0:38:08 | |
-Yes, in ten years' time! | 0:38:08 | 0:38:10 | |
-Llyr, this is -where the magic happens. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:31 | |
-Explain the process -from the field to the bottle please. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:35 | |
-We bring it on trailers -from the fields to the farm... | 0:38:35 | 0:38:39 | |
-..and we pump it into the hoppers, -where it's stored. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:43 | |
-It comes up the auger -to this filtering machine. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:48 | |
-Stones and foreign bodies -are removed here. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
-The seeds are black? | 0:38:51 | 0:38:53 | |
-I assumed they'd be yellow -because of the yellow flowers. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:57 | |
-I was wrong. These pods are black. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
-These pods contain 40% oil. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:03 | |
-It then passes through this auger -to the hopper... | 0:39:06 | 0:39:10 | |
-..and then it's heated -in that small tank over there. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
-It then falls into the press. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:18 | |
-Once it's warm, it's ready to press. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:22 | |
-Yes, and there's an auger -inside here. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:25 | |
-There's a conical section here. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
-The pods are squeezed to the end -and it gets narrower and narrower... | 0:39:29 | 0:39:34 | |
-..and the oil drips down, -into this tank. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:38 | |
-What's left here -are the protein pellets... | 0:39:39 | 0:39:42 | |
-..which fall on the conveyer belt. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
-Protein pellets? For what purpose? | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
-Protein pellets? For what purpose? - -For cattle feed. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:48 | |
-It's 32% protein. -It contains 10% oil. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:51 | |
-It's also rich in vitamins. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:54 | |
-It's an excellent feed -for our cattle. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:59 | |
-It saves you buying feed -for the animals. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:02 | |
-Yes, so we save money there. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:04 | |
-The oil then flows into the tank -under our feet. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
-It then passes through the filter. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:15 | |
-Llyr, what's happening here? | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
-This is the reason -we produce such good oil. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
-We use this to filter it -down to one micron. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
-This husk is removed from the oil. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:29 | |
-This was still in the oil? | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
-Yes, it was in the oil -which came out of the tank. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:36 | |
-It attaches itself to the side. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:38 | |
-Once it's gone a quarter of an inch -down the mesh, it's clean. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:43 | |
-It filters itself. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:44 | |
-Once it's nice and clean, -we flick the switch... | 0:40:45 | 0:40:48 | |
-..then it passes through -the candle filter and into the tank. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:56 | |
-The colour is fantastic. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:15 | |
-It's golden, like the sun. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:18 | |
-Yes. It really is outstanding. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:20 | |
-Golden flower is a good name for it! | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
-When you see it through the bottle, -it looks incredible. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:27 | |
-Have a taste. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:29 | |
-Have a taste. - -Thank you. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:30 | |
-It's quite nutty. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:33 | |
-You can taste the sun -and your hard work in that oil. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:40 | |
-It's a great product. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:41 | |
-It's a great product. - -Thank you. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:43 | |

-Had you known how much time -and money the renovation involved... | 0:42:17 | 0:42:22 | |
-..would you have bought the house? | 0:42:23 | 0:42:25 | |
-Yes, we would... wouldn't we? | 0:42:26 | 0:42:28 | |
-Geoff, there's a glazed look -on your face! | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
-I wouldn't have bought it. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:33 | |
-I was the one who wanted the house. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
-The renovations were very expensive. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:38 | |
-The problem is -Carys wants everything bang-on... | 0:42:39 | 0:42:42 | |
-..and I think that probably cost us -even more money! | 0:42:42 | 0:42:46 | |
-Having said that, all the work -has been done properly. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:50 | |
-I have no regrets about anything -we've had done to the house. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:55 | |
-It's cosy. | 0:42:57 | 0:42:58 | |
-Are you happy with it? | 0:42:58 | 0:43:00 | |
-Are you happy with it? - -Yes, we're very happy with it. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:02 | |
-You don't want to do it again? | 0:43:05 | 0:43:07 | |
-You don't want to do it again? - -I'd love to do it one more time! | 0:43:07 | 0:43:09 | |
-It's an enormous house! -Don't you feel a bit lost here? | 0:43:11 | 0:43:15 | |
-I retreat to the west wing -when we've argued! | 0:43:16 | 0:43:19 | |
-It's handy when he snores too! | 0:43:20 | 0:43:22 | |
-Geoff takes care -of the manual labour. | 0:43:23 | 0:43:26 | |
-He sings your praises because -you're the one with the vision. | 0:43:26 | 0:43:31 | |
-Is that true? | 0:43:32 | 0:43:34 | |
-Yes. -I have a very active imagination! | 0:43:34 | 0:43:37 | |
-Geoff was sceptical, but I could -imagine how this house would look. | 0:43:40 | 0:43:44 | |
-Do you collect specific things? | 0:44:01 | 0:44:04 | |
-Yes - I know what I like. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:08 | |
-I'm fond of Gaudy Welsh. -I have a few Gaudy Welsh pieces. | 0:44:09 | 0:44:13 | |
-I enjoy -owning a whole collection of things. | 0:44:13 | 0:44:16 | |
-There are some pieces of -Royal Worcester on the mantelpiece. | 0:44:17 | 0:44:22 | |
-They're colourful and they -complement the colours of the room. | 0:44:22 | 0:44:27 | |
-Did you -decorate and furnish the rooms? | 0:44:27 | 0:44:30 | |
-Yes, I chose everything. | 0:44:30 | 0:44:32 | |
-I started with the curtains -in this room... | 0:44:32 | 0:44:35 | |
-..and I chose a carpet, a sofa -and some wallpaper to go with them. | 0:44:36 | 0:44:41 | |
-Why did you buy the curtains first? | 0:44:42 | 0:44:45 | |
-Simply because I liked them. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:47 | |
-I just knew I wanted them. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:50 | |
-Everything else stems from -the colours in the curtains. | 0:44:50 | 0:44:54 | |
-Yes, that's right. | 0:44:54 | 0:44:56 | |
-The wonderful conservatory -capitalizes on the stunning views. | 0:44:59 | 0:45:04 | |
-It also draws light into the house. | 0:45:04 | 0:45:07 | |
-The French bedroom furniture is -another example of Carys's keen eye. | 0:45:19 | 0:45:24 | |
-This seems old to me, Geoff. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:38 | |
-Yes, this house is listed -because of the staircase. | 0:45:38 | 0:45:42 | |
-The people at CADW -told us we mustn't damage it. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:48 | |
-This is original. | 0:45:50 | 0:45:51 | |
-We tried to match the stairs -when we had these panels done. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:59 | |
-This is the most important part -of the house! | 0:46:01 | 0:46:04 | |
-Close your eyes for a second. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:10 | |
-There you go! | 0:46:14 | 0:46:15 | |
-Even James Bond -doesn't have one of these! | 0:46:17 | 0:46:20 | |
-A glory hole! | 0:46:22 | 0:46:23 | |
-Carys and Geoff are very fond -of inviting friends to the house. | 0:46:24 | 0:46:28 | |
-In addition to this secret bar, they -have a wine cellar under the stairs. | 0:46:28 | 0:46:34 | |
-I'd like to move to a flat -with no garden! | 0:46:46 | 0:46:49 | |
-I'd chuck flowerpots off the veranda -when the plants were dead! | 0:46:49 | 0:46:54 | |
-That's all for today. | 0:47:02 | 0:47:04 | |
-I hope you enjoyed our visit to Bala -and the Penllyn area. | 0:47:04 | 0:47:08 | |
-Join me next time, when I'll be -in St David's, Pembrokeshire. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:12 | |
-Until then, goodbye. | 0:47:13 | 0:47:14 | |
