-Hello! I'm Nia Parry and today,

-Milltir2 comes from Aberystwyth.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Here we are in Aberystwyth,

-the town on Cardigan Bay...

-..near the confluence

-of the Ystwyth and Rheidol rivers.

-River Rheidol rises in the mountains

-to the east of Aberystwyth...

-..as does River Ystwyth.

-There was once

-a busy harbour here...

-..with large ships

-which sailed across the world.

-Today, you'll see only sailing boats

-and fishing boats here.

-For help to follow the programme,

-take a look at our website...

-..or use the subtitles.

-Yvonne Evans was born in Aberystwyth

-and raised in Aberaeron.

-She currently presents the weather

-on S4C.

-Here she is, chatting to me

-and Matt Johnson on the Hwb sofa.

-How are you enjoying

-presenting the weather?

-I absolutely love it.

-I'm really enjoying it.

-It's lovely

-to broadcast information...

-..which is so important.

-The weather affects people's work,

-people's health and fashion too!

-Should you wear

-sandals or wellingtons?

-Do you get stopped by people

-who want to talk about the weather?

-Do you get tired

-of talking about it?

-Yes, to be honest!

-People I know

-and people I don't know...

-..ask me what sort of weather

-we'll have in a week's time.

-People also say

-they're off on holiday soon....

-..so they ask me

-what clothes they should pack.

-The weather is important...

-..so I don't mind

-talking about weather forecasts.

-I just hope I'm right every time!

-No pressure!

-Why did you take an interest

-in the weather...

-..and in presenting the weather?

-What appealed to you?

-I've been interested in the weather

-ever since I was little.

-When I was a child, Santa gave me

-a weather station one Christmas.

-Santa gave her a weather station!

-As you do!

-As you do!

-

-Yes.

-Every little girl's dream!

-Every little girl's dream!

-

-Barbie? No, a weather station!

-Matt, I had a Barbie

-and a Skalextric track too!

-I had lots of things!

-I used to run a lot.

-I competed in cross-country races

-and in races at athletics tracks.

-Traws gwlad - cross-country.

-I kept a close eye

-on the weather forecasts...

-..because the weather

-affects the type of race it will be.

-If it was a windy day

-on the athletics track...

-..I wouldn't run as fast as I would

-if there were no wind.

-When I ran cross-country

-on a rainy day...

-..it would mean

-running in muddy conditions...

-..which would mean

-it was a slower race.

-Once, when I was running

-in Llanidloes...

-..I was caught in a hailstorm.

-Cesair. Do you know what it is?

-We didn't do this

-in our weather lesson.

-Cesair - hailstones.

-I nearly said gallstones!

-Something completely different!

-Cesair or cenllysg in North Wales.

-The hailstones made me run faster!

-I was in so much pain,

-I hurried along!

-Hailstones really hurt!

-The weather

-has a huge impact on sport.

-I always kept a close eye on it.

-I went to work for Radio Cymru and

-I read weather and sport bulletins.

-I received training

-from the Met Office in London.

-She was trained

-by the Met Office in London.

-Very good.

-You used to be a teacher.

-Yes, a little over 10 years ago.

-I taught at Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg

-Bodringallt, in Ystrad...

-..which is

-in the heart of the Rhondda.

-Did you enjoy it?

-Did you enjoy it?

-

-Yes, I loved it.

-It was great to see children

-develop and progress.

-Of course,

-the majority of the pupils...

-..came from homes

-where no Welsh was spoken.

-Their parents didn't speak Welsh.

-They came

-from non-Welsh speaking backgrounds.

-They learned Welsh

-and they spoke it fluently.

-They enjoyed hearing my dialect.

-Tafodiaith - dialect.

-I also enjoyed

-hearing their dialect.

-As Miss Evans,

-I'd ask the children...

-..what they were doing

-over the weekend.

-They'd say,

-"I'm playing rugby with my butty."

-Cute!

-Do you say, "Hello, butt?"

-Do you say, "Hello, butt?"

-

-Yes. What's happening, butt?

-Iawn, met?

-That's the North Wales equivalent.

-I now call people butt too!

-Alright, butt?

-This area has been a magnet

-for tourists for many years.

-The area was recently seen

-on TV screens across Europe...

-..because the drama series

-Hinterland was filmed here.

-Aneirin Hughes, who plays

-Chief Superintendent Prosser...

-..was born in Aberystwyth.

-What do local people

-think of the series?

-I think it's really good.

-I think there should be more

-serious drama like that on S4C.

-I really enjoyed

-the episodes I've seen.

-A lot of people have asked

-where certain locations are...

-..and whether they can

-go and see them.

-It attracts tourists,

-so it's good for local businesses.

-There are many Welsh learners

-in Aberystwyth...

-..and you can take a course

-to train to be a Welsh tutor here.

-Liz Corbett, who lives in Australia,

-took that course here.

-Here she is on Hwb in 2012

-talking about her experiences.

-Liz is a librarian and an author.

-She's on an intensive course...

-..then she'll become a Welsh tutor

-in Melbourne.

-I'm learning Welsh

-at The Celtic Club, Melbourne.

-I've been learning Welsh

-for seven years.

-My teacher turned to me

-and said, "What about you, Liz?"

-"Would you like to be a tutor?"

-I'm not a fluent Welsh speaker...

-..but I want to see the old language

-carry on in Melbourne.

-That's why I agreed

-to give it a try.

-Andrew, my husband,

-told me I had to go back to Wales...

-..to do the summer course.

-Here I am!

-What do we say?

-What do we say?

-

-Dysges.

-We have a lot of fun.

-We play games.

-We take part in activities.

-I've learned a lot of new words

-on this course.

-..at Aberystwyth University.

-I started to learn Welsh last month.

-There are over 60 learners

-on the course this week.

-We'll teach over 80 learners

-over the course of the month.

-Most are here

-for the whole month-long course.

-This morning,

-we're playing games with a toy.

-We're passing the ball around

-and saying the word.

-It's a good idea.

-I'll copy

-a lot of what Sion's doing.

-Mochyn pinc - a pink pig.

-When I started the course, it was

-like pennies drop, drop, dropping.

-Good luck to Liz

-in her role as a tutor.

-Join me back in Aberystwyth

-after the break.

-..then bring it down to 32.

-It gives the chocolate a sheen

-and it eliminates any white spots.

-It also gives it a nice snap.

-You make sure the fat

-and the chocolate don't separate.

-The first step is to line the mould.

-I'll fill it with chocolate,

-then I'll tip it out...

-..to create the outer shell.

-The outer shell? I see.

-I'll give it a bang

-to get rid of the air.

-OK, so the air rises to the top.

-Then, tip it out.

-What's the next step?

-Put it in the fridge.

-Sarah makes chocolates with various

-flavours and it's Amaretto today.

-I'll add nine teaspoons of Amaretto

-to the mixture.

-Nine?

-It's good stuff!

-Other flavours include

-honey, mint and blueberry.

-In it goes.

-It's important not to overfill them.

-You add another layer of chocolate

-to form a solid base.

-Now it's ready for the fridge.

-When can I eat it?

-When can I eat it?

-

-Later.

-Later.

-Mm!

-You can taste the Amaretto.

-It's strong but not overpowering.

-It tastes lovely

-and the texture inside is soft.

-Amaretto can be strong but it

-combines perfectly with chocolate.

-Can I have a box to take home?

-Can I have a box to take home?

-

-Yes.

-Next, Aled Sam

-visits Plas Penglais...

-..the home of the

-Principal of Aberystwyth University.

-At the time of filming,

-its occupants...

-..were Dr Derec Llwyd Morgan

-and Jane Edwards.

-For help to follow the programme,

-use the website...

-..or download the Dal Ati app.

-Plas Penglais is the home of the

-Principal of Aberystwyth University.

-The house comes with the job...

-..and Derec Llwyd Morgan

-is about to retire.

-He invited us here to see the house

-before he has to leave it behind.

-We really took to this house.

-To the manor born!

-It's a cosy house.

-It may be big but we make use

-of every single room.

-We've grown to love it

-and yes, we'll miss it.

-There's already a lump in my throat

-when I think of leaving this house.

-Mrs Richardes lived here in 1946.

-Legend has it she argued

-with her son one Friday...

-..and she instructed her solicitor

-to sell the house and the land.

-The treasurer presented

-the principal with a blank cheque...

-..and that's how

-the college acquired it.

-This is the hall.

-You chose rich colours, didn't you?

-Yes, they're warm colours.

-The terracotta is a lighter shade.

-There are two colours here.

-It's more pinky

-towards the dining room.

-Cefyn Burgess

-helped me choose the colours.

-The walls were all painted a

-magnolia colour before we moved in.

-All the way to the top floor.

-It was like the road to Heaven

-and it seemed never-ending.

-I wanted to break up the magnolia

-but I needed advice.

-Cefyn showed a picture

-by Titian to me...

-..and we chose the main colours

-for the house from that painting.

-My young grandson

-usually sleeps in this room.

-The workmen refer to this

-as The Prince of Wales's Room.

-This is where Prince Charles slept

-when he stayed here.

-Gareth Owen was the principal,

-back then.

-Did you choose the wallpaper?

-Did you choose the wallpaper?

-

-No, Cefyn chose this.

-I didn't like it because I thought

-the pattern was too intricate.

-It's grown on me.

-The colours are very subdued.

-The colours are very subdued.

-

-Yes, that's right.

-It's wonderful to sit on the bed

-and look out to sea.

-I haven't slept in this room.

-I haven't slept in this room.

-

-Now's your chance, Jane!

-I hope you filmed that!

-Which of the wallpapers on the walls

-of this house is your favourite?

-Well, I'm fond of

-the William Morris wallpaper.

-There are two studies,

-next door to each other.

-This is Derec's study.

-He loves literature

-and the shelves are full of books.

-It's a little bit dark,

-as there's only one window in here.

-Jane's study

-couldn't be more different!

-It's much more luxurious.

-There's a huge sofa in here...

-..and light floods in

-through the three windows.

-It's more of a parlour than a study.

-It's quintessentially Welsh.

-How much use do you make

-of that large room?

-We only use it for receptions.

-People from all over the world

-see that room...

-..and it makes

-the right impression.

-That's exactly

-what it's meant to do.

-It's a luxurious room

-and it serves its purpose well.

-We always told ourselves

-we were merely caretakers.

-We knew our stay here was temporary.

-This is a small town and I don't

-want to be in my successor's shadow.

-My successor doesn't want to be

-in my shadow, either.

-It wouldn't be fair on anyone if

-we were here when he or she arrives.

-What sort of house

-do you plan to buy?

-We've already bought a house

-but work hasn't yet commenced on it.

-It's a ranch,

-in the middle of Anglesey!

-He fell in love with it

-but I didn't.

-It took me a long time

-to take to it.

-Well, Jane, you can rent somewhere

-if you don't love it!

-I can be the housekeeper here!
