0:16:48 > 0:16:49- Maybe I'm good at golf.- - Maybe.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- Maybe not!
0:16:54 > 0:16:55- Little Red Car
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- You've held a club before.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05- Have you had a lesson?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Yes, I had two lessons - many years ago.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16- All you do is swing your club and - not think about hitting the ball.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- You swing and the ball - is in the club's path.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- Good.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- I don't think you'll reach the flag - today because it's windy.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- Stay there. I'm going for a pint!
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Like that.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- It's your turn.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42- Swing it.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45- Let's try one more time.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46- Let's try one more time.- - That was useless!
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Let's go down to the green.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- We're on the green, at last!
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- Everyone putts differently.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02- Back and through.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07- I came up short.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- You have a go. Get it in the hole.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Who are you usual golf partners?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16- Who are you usual golf partners?- - I play alone. Nobody likes me!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- I've played golf - with lots of people.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Tim Rice. We won a prize.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24- Bryn Terfel.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26- Gareth Edwards.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- All the rugby boys play golf.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- I've been lucky enough - to play pro-celeb golf.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Concentrate! Don't hit it too hard.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- Oh, not bad!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- You finished closer than me.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- You finished closer than me.- - In it goes!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Oh, no! Mishit!
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Let's go and have a pint.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- Yes, or a cuppa.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- One day, I can play like Seve.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Everything goes perfectly.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- The next day, I'm like - the Red Arrows down the course!
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- What's hole-in-one in Welsh?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Twll mewn un?
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Twll mewn un?- - Yes, people say twll mewn un.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- Twll ag un - a hole with one shot.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- Twll ag un is a good translation - of hole-in-one.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- I've had a hole-in-one three times. - It's all down to luck.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- How good are you? - What's your handicap?
0:19:28 > 0:19:29- I'm extremely good!
0:19:29 > 0:19:30- I'm extremely good!- - So am I.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- I play off 11.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- That's OK.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- What appeals to you about golf?
0:19:38 > 0:19:39- It all started...
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- ..when I went to a pitch and putt - in Cardiff with Emyr Wyn.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- It was a small course in a park.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52- Emyr Wyn, who acts in Pobol Y Cwm - and who sings with Mynediad Am Ddim.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Yes, and I was in Pobol Y Cwm too - at the time.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- We had a lot of spare time - and that's why we took up golf.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- We thought, "Hey! This is OK."
0:20:04 > 0:20:09- Emyr Wyn then bought some clubs - and he persuaded me to buy some too.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- We'd go to golf courses and pretend - that we were real players.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15- We were bitten by the bug.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- We thought it was fantastic.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- People think golf is for snobs.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- There is an element - of snobbery there...
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- ..but I don't mix with any snobs.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- I don't play golf with snobs.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- I play with boys I like around here - and we joke around a lot...
0:20:33 > 0:20:34- ..out on the course.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36- What about etiquette?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- Aren't you meant to be quiet - when you're out on the course?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- I do get the odd shout - of "Do you mind?"
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- We all shush each other.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- I talk a lot but I've learned - to be quiet on the golf course.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- You love to talk - and you have lots of energy.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- Do you find it's a good quiet time - for you?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Is it therapeutic?
0:21:03 > 0:21:04- Yes, but I'm hopeless.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- I hit it, then I'm ready - to get going straight away.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- I'm learning to slow things down - and enjoy the day.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Some American said you should - learn to smell the roses...
0:21:19 > 0:21:20- ..when you play golf.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36- That was nice but it's good - to be back inside, in the warm.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- If you had to run out of the house - really quickly...
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- ..and rescue three things - to take with you...
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- ..what would you choose to rescue?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- I've given this some thought.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- People are used to seeing me - wearing caps.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- You cut the peaks off baseball caps.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- You cut the peaks off baseball caps.- - Yes, I used to do that.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- Everyone wears baseball caps - back-to-front.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10- I now buy my caps in Brittany - when I'm on my way to France.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- They're called dockers' hats.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21- This is a Merched Y Wawr badge and - I wear it in memory of my mother.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- But I have another hat down here.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Isn't it lovely?
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- We used to go to Padstow, - in Cornwall to celebrate May Day.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- I wanted some sort of - morris dancing hat.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Dewi Morris dancer!
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Oh, what's her name? She's blonde.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46- Rhiannon - my wife.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52- She was a student at the time, - or she wasn't working anyway.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- She's work-shy anyway. Joke!
0:22:56 > 0:23:00- She didn't have much money, - so she made this hat for me.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02- Ah! As a present?
0:23:02 > 0:23:03- Ah! As a present?- - Yes.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- This hat jingles when you dance.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- I'd save this. It's totally unique.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Yes, and she made it with love.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17- That's my first item.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- This is the second item.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23- It's a bit odd.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- There's a cupboard over there - which has my life in it.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- There are posters in there.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- It's a scrapbook of my life.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- I'm only allowed - to save three items...
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- ..so this comes first.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Bills, insurance, dental, medical!
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- No, although - that's what's written there.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52- It's full of things which - I've written but haven't finished.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53- Secrets!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- My life story.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- I sometimes give talks - to Merched Y Wawr.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03- There are - some unfinished songs in here.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- They're half-written - and never published.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- If you have an idea, - you scribble it on a scrap of paper?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Yes, that's right.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- If I didn't have these, - I'd have no idea what I'd written.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- I keep these scraps of paper.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- This was an idea for a song - about Tich Gwilym.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- Tich, the guitarist.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36- I've already written and completed - one song about Tich...
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- ..but this is another song - about him.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- You went too early - Late one morning.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- Yes, it's a starting point - for the lyrics and the music.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- Half-written poems and jokes.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- The night wraps the village - In a cosy quilt of slumber.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- Lots of ideas for poems and music.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- That's my second item.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- The third item is up there, - on the wall.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- I like many pictures...
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- ..but this is my personal favourite.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- Rhys painted it.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- It's part of the lyrics of my song, - Nwy Yn Y Nen.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26- The words are there - and so is the moon and the town.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- I'd take that. It's special to me.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- It's completely personal.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- Yes, because it's a painting - of my work.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- I'd take Rhiannon too.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- I forgot!
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- Rhiannon!
0:25:41 > 0:25:42- Quick! Fire!
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Quick! Fire!- - The kitchen's on fire!
0:25:46 > 0:25:47- I've laughed a lot today.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48- I've laughed a lot today.- - Good.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- It's been a joy. - Thank you for the warm welcome.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Can I come again, Dewi Pws Morris?
0:25:54 > 0:25:55- Can I come again, Dewi Pws Morris?- - Any time.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- But bring your own biscuits - next time!
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Dewi Pws is full of mischief.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- I had great fun with him today.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15- Join me next week to visit the home - of another familiar face.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- Until then, goodbye.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Rhiannon, she ate all the biscuits!
0:26:25 > 0:26:26- .
0:26:34 > 0:26:34- Subtitles
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- I'm Margaret Ogunbanwo - and I come from Nigeria.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- My husband is a vicar.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- God called us to come to Wales.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- There was no work and no church.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- It was just a calling of God.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30- Before we opened the cafe, - we had no money at all.
0:27:30 > 0:27:36- I must say it's a tiny miracle - that we have this cafe in Penygroes.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- I work in the cafe with Elvis...
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- ..and part-time - with Sue, Dylan and Christine.
0:27:55 > 0:28:01- Elvis runs the front of house, - with help from Sue and Dylan.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02- We make a great team.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09- I heard that people - call this cafe Cafrica...
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- ..because we cook African food.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- My speciality is jerk chicken.
0:28:22 > 0:28:23- It's very popular.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- I came up with a plan - to learn Welsh...
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- ..because if you want to - get to know the people...
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- ..it's important - to speak their language.
0:28:41 > 0:28:46- We moved to Penygroes - on the first of September...
0:28:47 > 0:28:53- ..and I'd started to learn Welsh - by the end of September.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01- My favourite words - are canolbwyntio...
0:29:02 > 0:29:04- ..and bendigedig.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- People speak Welsh - all day, every day in Penygroes...
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- ..but sometimes, - they speak English to me.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20- Sometimes, I have to tell them - I want to speak Welsh.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- I need to practise my Welsh.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- It's a little bit uncomfortable - for them...
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- ..so English - is the default language.
0:29:31 > 0:29:36- When I'm on form, I carry on - and I speak Welsh to people...
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- ..but it doesn't happen - every time.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- I went to a friend's barbecue...
0:29:49 > 0:29:53- ..and everyone said, - "Oh! Margaret speaks Welsh!"
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- The guy said, "How are you?"
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- I said, "I can say more than - how are you!"
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- People are surprised - that I do speak Welsh.
0:30:06 > 0:30:12- Once they realize I do speak Welsh, - they speak really quickly...
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- ..and I get lost!
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- I'm not that great! I'm not fluent!
0:30:21 > 0:30:22- I like to talk a lot!
0:30:48 > 0:30:53- I'm Les Taylor and I come from - the north of England originally.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- I've lived in Wales for 20 years.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- I live in a quiet little village - called Llanfable...
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- ..which is near Abergavenny, - Monmouthshire.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- I retired a year ago.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- I'm still very busy.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- I have a lot of hobbies.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- I like music, I enjoy walking - and I love to go running.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- I also enjoy playing with my cat.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42- I'm keen on horse racing too.
0:31:43 > 0:31:48- One of my main hobbies - is brewing beer.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- The village - is quiet at the moment...
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- ..because the local pub - has been closed for ten years.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09- Everyone in the village - hopes the pub will reopen.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- I really hope - there will come a day...
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- ..when I can have a pint - in the village pub.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- Until then, - I have to brew my own beer!
0:32:33 > 0:32:38- Sometimes, - when people sample my beer...
0:32:38 > 0:32:43- ..they say good things about it.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- I started to learn Welsh - to support my children.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- I have four children.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- I like to support my children.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- I want them to do well - with their Welsh.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07- Unfortunately, many of - their fellow pupils at school...
0:33:07 > 0:33:12- ..come from - non-Welsh-speaking families.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17- That makes it very difficult - to promote the language at school.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- I thought I should support...
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- ..my children's efforts - to learn Welsh.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29- The best way to support them - was to learn the language myself.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44- If you want to learn Welsh, - you can sign up for night classes.
0:33:45 > 0:33:46- Classes are important.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- The most important thing of all - is to listen to Welsh words.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Use Welsh words - and repeat the words you hear.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09- I've brewed a very special beer - and I've named it Hwb.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- It's very tasty.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- Every Welsh learner loves Hwb!
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- I think that's true.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21- Cheers!
0:34:24 > 0:34:25- Tasty!
0:34:27 > 0:34:28- Very tasty.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- My name is Bill Wheeler.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- I'm a professional artist.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50- I live in Pontypridd.
0:34:59 > 0:35:04- I really do adore watercolour art.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- This is how I paint.
0:35:12 > 0:35:17- I enjoy painting seascapes - and snowscapes.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- I enjoy painting outdoors.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- I travel around Wales...
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- ..in search - of beautiful places to paint.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42- I think I'm really lucky.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- There are lots of things - for me to paint in Wales.
0:35:56 > 0:36:01- Learning Welsh is really difficult - but it's also really interesting.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- I want to be a fluent speaker.
0:36:10 > 0:36:15- I go online and I follow - the Something In Welsh course.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19- It's a really special course.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- When I become - a fluent Welsh speaker...
0:36:25 > 0:36:30- ..I'll run my art course - through the medium of Welsh.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- I first started - going to Clwb Y Bont a year ago.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43- There were one or two people there - to speak Welsh with each other.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52- I hope a lot more people - start to come to the club...
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- ..to speak Welsh - and to use the language.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02- There is no lesson structure.
