0:06:16 > 0:06:19- I've still got his autograph - at home to this day.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- That's worth a fortune!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- So, I have your autograph.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- You'll have to frame it.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29- I might send it back to you.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- This means so much to me...
0:06:37 > 0:06:43- ..because Ryan is one of the reasons - I'm in this business.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49- I used to watch him as a boy - at the Coliseum Theatre in Aberdare.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Tickets were like gold.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- I went to see him there - and in pantomime in Swansea.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- I think that's were - I caught the bug.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- You wanted to perform.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02- You wanted to perform.- - I wanted to be like Ryan.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- So, that's worth a lot to me.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06- So, that's worth a lot to me.- - Yes, I can believe it.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Of all the autographs I have, - if I had to rescue one...
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- ..that would be it, - because that one means most to me.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Ieuan, thank you very much, - and thanks for your autograph!
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- You're welcome. Don't sell it!
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- I'm certainly not - a fashionable person.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- Fortunately, I have a wife...
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- ..who regularly advises me - about what to wear.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- But Margarette Hughes from Whitland - doesn't need any advice.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- She has bought clothes - over the years...
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- ..and has kept them - to form a special collection.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- Good morning, Margarette.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55- Good morning, Margarette.- - Good morning, Ifan.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57- How are you?
0:07:57 > 0:07:58- How are you?- - I'm fine. Come in.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Margarette Hughes - is a former primary school teacher.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- ..and a mother of three.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- She teaches Welsh to adults...
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- ..and is active with Merched y Wawr - in the Whitland area.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- But clothes are her big interest.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- I think, because I was a war baby...
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- ..everything was in short supply - when I was growing up.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- Clothes were scarce.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30- My grandmother had a box - of old clothes for dressing up.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- I loved to dress up - in those clothes.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38- There was a long piece of silk - in it, from a parachute.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40- Good grief.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41- That's what it was...
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- ..but I used it as a veil, - and pretended to be getting married.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- When you look at your collection now - and the variety of clothes...
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- ..what pleasure do you get - from seeing them all?
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- There's a story - attached to almost every item.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- They bring back memories.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- I think, "Did that fit me once?"
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- And remembering experiences you had - while wearing such and such.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- I have a pink and white - gingham frock...
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- ..from the late 1950s...
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- ..when I was - at Llandysul Grammar School.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- I used to walk home from school - with my friend, Sian.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27- I saw the frock.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- Brigitte Bardot - wore something similar in Vogue.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- Everyone wanted to look - like Brigitte Bardot then.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38- And you saw the same one in a shop?
0:09:38 > 0:09:39- And you saw the same one in a shop?- - It wasn't exactly the same.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- But I could imagine myself, - if I buy that frock...
0:09:43 > 0:09:48- ..people will say, "Margarette, - you're like Brigitte Bardot!"
0:09:48 > 0:09:53- But I only got one new summer frock - every year, and I'd already had one.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- I went to my grandfather, - and he was like putty in my hands!
0:09:57 > 0:10:01- My grandfather and my brother - both lent me money.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- I had to pay my brother back, - but not my grandfather!
0:10:05 > 0:10:07- I still have the frock.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- I wore it for years.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10- Wonderful.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- What's the most valuable - item of clothing you own?
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Price-wise, you mean?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- I'm being nosy now, I know.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- Do you know, I'm not sure.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- But I wouldn't tell you anyway!
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- I don't tell my husband - how much I spend!
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- So, all the clothes are up here?
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Yes, upstairs.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- Yes, upstairs.- - I can't wait to see the collection.

0:10:44 > 0:10:45- And here.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- And there as well?
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- You've put them in order of age, - have you?
0:10:52 > 0:10:53- Let's start here.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55- What period is this?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- This goes right back to the start.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- This is Mam-gu Tresaith's nightgown.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- These pants and camisole top - belonged to Mam-gu Cwerchyr.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- This was your grandmother's?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Yes. It was such a job to iron.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- The embroidery's still like new.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- And this is as white as snow.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26- Excellent quality.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28- Well made.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34- What about the green and blue - garment, with the matching cap?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- We had a wedding in London.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- I was expecting Dafydd, my second - child, but I had to look smart.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- I found this in a shop - on Wellfield Road in Cardiff.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- I wore the cap instead of a hat - to the wedding.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- What period are we talking about?
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- Towards the end of the 1960s, - because Dafydd was born in 1968.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- In September, - and the wedding was in July.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- I wore these - just before he was born.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- And you can't beat wool - as a material, can you?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- It lasts and lasts and lasts.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- So, we'll move on next to the 1970s.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- That's when maxis came in.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- This was my first maxi.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- A pinafore and a jacket.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29- I did have a matching blouse too, - in this material, but that's gone.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Yes, this is wool again.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- This was warm, - and it must have been heavy.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- I wore it to a wedding in - Cwmfelin Mynach, and it was snowing.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- That's as good as new.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- It's in a superb condition.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- I don't think I'd get into it now.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49- Did you wear it often?
0:12:49 > 0:12:50- Did you wear it often?- - Yes, I did.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- Long dresses were fashionable - to wear out for a meal and so on.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Maxis have come back into fashion - over recent years.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- They have.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- This is a special frock.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- The clothes down that end - are more colourful.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- We're coming into the 1980s now.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- That's when pads came in.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- This one is a Valentino, - with a low back.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21- I wore this on an unforgettable week - in Italy with Merched y Wawr.
0:13:21 > 0:13:22- I'm not saying any more about that.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- I'm not saying any more about that.- - No, you'd better not!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- I wore this - outside the Valentino shop in Rome.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- One of my friends took a photo.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- She knew what the frock was.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- One of my favourite designers - was Gina Fratini.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- She designed clothes - for Princess Diana.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- She also designed - Elizabeth Taylor's dress...

0:14:01 > 0:14:04- She said - that she designed clothes...
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- ..for those with romance - in their soul.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Who'd have guessed - that a Gina Fratini frock...
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- ..would look so good - as part of a Welsh costume?
0:14:14 > 0:14:19- I don't think she dreamt - that anyone would do that with it!
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- But it is Welsh tweed.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- It's nice to see - that you still make use of it.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- What's going to happen - to the collection?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- Are you going to continue - to buy clothes as fashions change?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- I buy clothes for myself, - not for the collection.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- Because I like them.
0:14:41 > 0:14:47- If something catches my eye, - I can hopefully afford it...
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- ..without going over the top, - obviously!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- So, the collection will grow?

0:16:18 > 0:16:23- Gettysburg was the major battle, - and the turning point of the war.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- It is more than soldiers.
0:16:26 > 0:16:31- It's been a passion of mine - since I was five or six years old.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- What inspired your interest?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- These, to be honest. These cards.
0:16:37 > 0:16:42- They were for children, - but the scenes are fairly horrific.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Yes, they are quite graphic.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47- Savages Attack.
0:16:47 > 0:16:48- Indeed.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49- Bloody Combat.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- They are fairly horrific scenes.
0:16:53 > 0:16:59- Think of us as children of five, - six, seven, on the schoolyard.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04- We'd go around doing swapsies, - calling out things like...
0:17:04 > 0:17:09- .."I'll swap one Dying Effort - for one Savages Attack!"
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- How did your collection grow - over the years?
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- I used to read these.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- There's an image on one side...
0:17:19 > 0:17:25- ..and the history, in the form - of newspaper cuttings, on the back.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- It was through these - that I started to read English...
0:17:30 > 0:17:31- ..more than anything else.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- When I realized that this was - a true story, I began to buy books.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- I learnt more about the war, - then began to collect soldiers.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- That's among the first ones I got...
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- ..back when I was around that age.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- It's an incredible collection.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52- You also painted most of these.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- You also painted most of these.- - Yes, most of them.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- I probably painted - over 90% of them myself.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- It's a simple way of relaxing.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- That's the point.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- I can paint a set of these...
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- ..and forget about everything else.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- It's very detailed work.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18- Since seven or eight years, - I've had to use my new eyes!
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- I'm very careful not to answer - the door while I'm wearing them!
0:18:24 > 0:18:25- In case you scare someone!
0:18:25 > 0:18:27- In case you scare someone!- - Unless it's Halloween.
0:18:40 > 0:18:46- Here, now, I feel as if Alun - has let me come into his world.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- There are books everywhere.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- I suspect that he does a lot - of his reading and research in here.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- There are small soldiers everywhere.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- This is just a small part - of his collection.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Soldiers from - the American War of Independence.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- There are French soldiers - from Napoleon's army.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13- Zulus up there.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- One thing that strikes me - is the labour of love.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- The work that's gone into - painting and assembling them.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25- The detail is incredible.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Painting them was such hard work.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32- They really are worth seeing.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- This is where you come to escape.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Indeed, especially in summer, - when it's warmer.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Good grief.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- This is your recreation - of Gettysburg.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09- Yes, the end - of three days of fighting.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- That was the height of the war.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- From this point on...
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- ..for the next two years...
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- ..the South didn't have - much hope of victory.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- What was behind the war? - Why were they fighting?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Generally, the southern states...
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- ..the states of the Deep South...
0:20:33 > 0:20:38- ..wanted to retain slavery - down in the south.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Abraham Lincoln, the US President...
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- ..told them - that they couldn't secede.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52- They did so nonetheless, and named - Jefferson Davis as president.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57- Both presidents at that time - were of Welsh descent.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- By the time this particular battle - had started...
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- ..it was without a doubt - the biggest battle of the war.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- It was a three-day battle, - this depicting the third day.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- The South, the Confederates...
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- ..attacked from about a mile away - across these bare fields.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- They hadn't much hope, - but they carried on...
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- ..until they got to this wall - that we see there.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- That's the point that the attack - was aiming for from the outset.
0:21:32 > 0:21:37- Have you been to Gettysburg, - where all this took place?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Yes, luckily, in the early 1990s.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41- We went on a trip...
0:21:41 > 0:21:46- ..with the Brythoniaid choir - from Blaenau Ffestiniog.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- We spent the day at Gettysburg...
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- ..and sang in a chapel there - in the evening.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- We ended the performance - with Battle Hymn Of The Republic.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- That must have been an experience...
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- ..given all your research - into the story.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- It was a strange feeling.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- I almost felt as if I'd been there - before, especially standing there.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11- As if you knew the place?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12- As if you knew the place?- - Yes.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39- Of the hundreds of figures here, - does one character stand out?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- There are individual stories - going on here.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- There are actual characters - that took part here.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- That man there, in particular.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50- That man there, in particular.- - Who is he?
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- A man called Armistead, - a Confederate general.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- He realized, as they crossed - the wall and the fence...
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- ..so that the men behind him...
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- ..could see where he was - and that he was still advancing...
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- ..he removed his hat - and put it onto his sword...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- ..and waved it for his men to see.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17- But a few seconds later, - he was down, he'd been shot.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- So, he didn't get very far.
0:23:24 > 0:23:30- What pleasure to you get - from recreating these scenes...
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- ..and painting these soldiers?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Using my imagination, - more than anything.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- A sense of history.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- That encapsulates me.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- This is your world.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43- This is your world.- - Yes, it is.

0:25:51 > 0:25:56- I hear there are six children - on the farm, so I'm a bit nervous.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- It will be hard - to remember all those names...

0:30:07 > 0:30:08- No, it's fine.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- It's cloudy but it's warm - and you can still see a lot.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- Over here, you can see - part of the Conwy Valley.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- You can't quite see - the valley floor.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- Where's Snowdon?
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- That's Lliwedd and that pass - is called Bwlch y Saethau.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- The summit of Snowdon - is hidden by clouds.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- Snowdon is there, - directly in front of you.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- I enjoyed that experience.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43- It was wonderful.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- I'm really lucky to have a chance...
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- ..to come here and experience this.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52- It's brilliant.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- I felt a little bit scared - of the animals at first.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04- That changed when I started to meet - some of the animals.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06- Once I got used to them...
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- ..I'm more confident - to be around the animals.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- First, we shear the sheep's stomach.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- That's the wool from its stomach.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35- There's a technique to it.
0:31:42 > 0:31:47- How many sheep - can you shear in a day?
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- I used to go out shearing - every day in the summer.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- In those days, with my hand in...
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- ..I'd shear up to 300 in a day.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- ..I'd shear up to 300 in a day.- - Wow! That's a lot of sheep.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- She didn't say that she - didn't understand me, which is good.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- She was good - and she was talkative, fair play.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- When we fold the fleece, - we pull the sides in.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- Fold it into a long line.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27- When you ask her something, it takes - her longer than a native speaker...
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- ..to give you an answer.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35- Then, we find a hole - or make a hole in the fleece.
0:32:35 > 0:32:41- We then put it - in the bag, over here.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49- Are you happy to have a go - at folding the next one?
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- Yes, I'm happy - to have a go at the next one.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- Very good.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- Pull it into one long line.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- Pull it into one long line.- - I'll bring the sides in for you.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- Before I came here, I was worried - about my clothes and my hair.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- I was worried - about speaking Welsh too.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17- I was worried about everything - but I'm happy to be dirty.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- I feel inspired.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23- OK?
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- OK?- - Very good.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- Thanks for your help.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28- Thanks for your help.- - Let's put it in the sack.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- Do you like playing rugby?
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- Do you like playing rugby?- - Yes.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- Do you play rugby at school?
0:33:46 > 0:33:47- Do you play rugby at school?- - Yes.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- But we play for a club - more than school.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- We don't play much rugby at school.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- We only play - if there's a competition coming up.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- What club?
0:34:00 > 0:34:02- What club?- - We play for Nant Conwy.

0:38:02 > 0:38:06- ..as you enter the building, - you'll sense a special atmosphere.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- It's very calming, - as you'll find out.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- The stained glass window - is also special.

0:38:19 > 0:38:22- It contains a touch of yellow.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27- What's the story of the church?
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- Llywelyn had a hunt in Trefriw.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Siwan, his wife, - walk up here to worship.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47- Siwan had to walk up here - to the church to worship.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52- When she was pregnant, it was - difficult for her to walk here...
0:38:52 > 0:38:57- ..so Llywelyn built a church - for her down in Trefriw.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01- Siwan and Llywelyn - had a church here and in Trefriw?
0:39:01 > 0:39:02- Wow!
0:39:03 > 0:39:08- Do people still come here - to attend services?
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Yes, but there isn't a service - every Sunday.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- There's a service here - around three times a year...
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- ..plus some christenings.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46- Sometimes, they hold services - for animals here.

0:40:33 > 0:40:37- The children play rugby - on Sunday mornings, so it's tricky.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42- I try to cook a Sunday roast every - week when the season's finished.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- It's one of the few meals - everyone likes.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39- Food from different countries? - I see.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- Is it difficult - to do your shopping here?

0:43:41 > 0:43:43- Would you like to live on a farm?- - Yes, I think so.
0:43:46 > 0:43:50- I want to move to the countryside.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53- Before this week...
0:43:54 > 0:43:58- ..I didn't know - whether or not I'd like it.
0:43:59 > 0:44:04- But now that I've been here, - I know I do like the countryside.
0:44:04 > 0:44:05- I like the animals...
0:44:06 > 0:44:10- ..and I'm a little bit jealous - of the people who live here.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13- It's a lovely place.
0:44:14 > 0:44:17- You'll have to move to North Wales.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19- You'll have to move to North Wales.- - I do want to move to North Wales.
0:44:19 > 0:44:22- The thing is, - my family lives in the south.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25- I think I could move to Brecon...
0:44:30 > 0:44:35- ..or to the Rhondda Valley, which is - near Cardiff but in the countryside.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44- I had a lot of fun.
0:44:44 > 0:44:48- My time here was really special.

0:44:56 > 0:44:59- It's great - to meet someone from Cardiff.
0:44:59 > 0:45:04- The children speak Welsh to her - without giving it a second thought.
0:45:05 > 0:45:09- It was great to have Rosie with us - for two days.
0:45:13 > 0:45:18- I really enjoyed shearing with her - and having breakfast with her.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- It would be fun - to visit Rosie in Cardiff.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27- It's one thing to sit in a classroom - and speak Welsh.
0:45:27 > 0:45:32- Unfortunately, she must choose - which shops to visit carefully...
0:45:32 > 0:45:34- ..if she wants to speak Welsh.
0:45:36 > 0:45:41- Life in Cardiff - is very different from country life.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45- I'm a bit jealous.
0:45:46 > 0:45:51- I think living in the countryside...
0:45:51 > 0:45:54- ..is healthy and lots of fun.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58- It was interesting - to be with someone...
0:45:58 > 0:46:01- ..who doesn't quite - speak Welsh like us.
0:46:01 > 0:46:06- It's great that people who come from - the biggest cities in our country...
0:46:07 > 0:46:09- ..try to speak Welsh - and try to learn it.
0:46:10 > 0:46:12- It was fun. I enjoyed it.
0:46:12 > 0:46:16- She's really kind - and she's really nice.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19- It would be great - to see Rosie come back...
0:46:20 > 0:46:23- ..to see how much she remembers - of what we taught her.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28- One, two, three, whee!
0:46:28 > 0:46:31- She'd become totally fluent - in no time...
0:46:31 > 0:46:35- ..if she lived - in a Welsh-speaking area.
0:46:39 > 0:46:43- After this experience, - I think I want a big family.
0:46:46 > 0:46:51- A big family - has a chance to have lots of fun.
0:46:51 > 0:46:55- A big family can learn - lots of new things together.
0:46:55 > 0:46:59- The Metcalfe children - were at ease and very nice.
0:47:00 > 0:47:05- If I can have children - like the Metcalfes...
0:47:05 > 0:47:08- ..I want a big family.
0:47:08 > 0:47:11- But I also think - that Gwyneth is a supermum.
0:47:13 > 0:47:15- She does everything.
0:47:18 > 0:47:20- I have to thank you very much...
0:47:20 > 0:47:23- ..for giving me - such a wonderful experience.

0:47:36 > 0:47:38- To keep speaking Welsh.
0:47:40 > 0:47:42- I'll definitely keep speaking Welsh.
0:47:43 > 0:47:46- I'll practise a lot - when I get back to Cardiff.
0:47:46 > 0:47:48- Come back and see us soon.
0:47:48 > 0:47:50- Yes - come up here again.
