-Hello, I'm Ifan Jones Evans.

-In this series, I'll travel Wales...

-..meeting all kinds of people

-who love collecting things.

-From records to autographs,

-from shoes to bottles...

-..there are remarkable objects

-in every corner of Wales.

-I look forward to seeing them all.

-Welcome to Caru Casglu.

-For help to follow the programme...

-..use the website,

-the app and the subtitles.

-This week on Caru Casglu,

-hundreds of Groggs...

-..a house full of owls...

-..but we start with a collection

-of classic clothes.

-I'm in Pontypridd to meet

-the renowned harpist Meinir Heulyn.

-She has toured the world...

-..accompanying some big names

-from the world of classical music.

-Luciano Pavarotti, Bryn Terfel and

-Kiri te Kanawa, to name but a few.

-To do that,

-you can't just wear any old thing.

-That's why Meinir

-has a fine collection of clothes.

-Hello!

-Hello!

-

-Hello, Meinir. How are you?

-Fine, thanks. Come in.

-Fine, thanks. Come in.

-

-Where are the clothes?

-Have you always been interested

-in clothes and fashion?

-It's hard to say.

-When I was small, Mam always said

-I was a bit of a nuisance.

-She tried to get me to wear things.

-I'd insist they didn't match

-and refused to wear them.

-Usually, I was right,

-which made her angrier still.

-What kind of clothes do you own?

-What kind of clothes do you own?

-

-I didn't collect them intentionally.

-It's accidental.

-I was principal harpist

-with the WNO for 30 years.

-Because I played the harp,

-I could wear all sorts.

-Playing with orchestras,

-you always wore black.

-But I played solo concerts...

-..and toured the world

-with numerous orchestras.

-I didn't work until the evening,

-so the days were free.

-Shopping was a temptation,

-but I don't do it now.

-As such, a lot of your frocks

-have interesting stories attached.

-Come and see them then.

-Meinir, these two frocks

-are both colourful and striking.

-They're of their time, certainly.

-You wouldn't walk down the street

-in them nowadays.

-This one is from the 1990s.

-Two harp festivals

-took place in Cardiff.

-As we were in Wales,

-I wanted a Welsh frock.

-This was a contemporary nod

-to the traditional Welsh costume.

-This is silk, of course.

-In my time with the WNO...

-..I got to know a remarkable woman

-in the wardrobe department.

-She went to St Fagans

-and did some research.

-She learnt

-that there were many forms...

-..of traditional costume

-in the 19th century and earlier.

-Noblewomen would wear

-better costumes than others.

-This one is more elegant.

-It can either flow down...

-..or there's a hook and eye

-to hold it up and make it prettier.

-Just slipping into this

-makes one feel special.

-What's the story

-behind the purple one next to it?

-I was in a harp quartet...

-..for the BBC St David's Day concert

-at St David's Hall.

-We each got a frock,

-but not much of a fee!

-We got a frock each.

-It's so pretty, and the colour

-shimmers from pink to purple.

-It's a lovely colour.

-It's a changing

-combination of colours

-You have played

-with some of opera's leading names.

-Yes, naturally,

-but it was just a job.

-Sometimes,

-the artistes were very famous.

-Pavarotti, Joan Sutherland.

-I did several operas for Decca...

-..at Swansea's Brangwyn Hall.

-Pavarotti insisted on staying

-in a hotel with a lift...

-..because he was so overweight.

-He had to travel every day,

-but the rest stayed in Swansea.

-You've also performed

-with Welsh singers.

-Bryn Terfel, of course.

-I remember him

-coming out of college.

-Here they are.

-Another two ladies!

-Another two ladies!

-

-These are completely different.

-They're from the '60s and the '70s.

-I got the green one at college.

-I studied Music

-at Cardiff University.

-It's a Sunday frock, in a way.

-A Saturday night frock,

-judging by how short it is!

-I'm ashamed to say,

-I thought it was too long!

-I shortened it, and did it

-so badly that you can see it.

-I can see the hem at the base, yes.

-This has since come back

-into fashion.

-It was called the Peter Pan.

-The Peter Pan collar.

-I understand that this

-was your wedding dress.

-I wore that when I got married

-on 4 March 1974.

-It was misty and drizzling

-at Brynrhiwgaled chapel.

-People think of a wedding dress

-as being white.

-At that time, everyone wanted

-to do things differently.

-I found the material.

-My mother-in-law

-made the frock for me.

-The children had have a lot of fun

-looking at it.

-I've had to laugh too...

-..thinking that I got married

-in such an outfit.

-I like it.

-I like it.

-

-It's of its time, isn't it?

-That's true of everything.

-What are these two, Meinir?

-Again, they're different

-to each other.

-Next door

-to the theatre in Oxford...

-..there was a shop

-called Annabelinda.

-They made outfits, usually

-from velvet and Liberty material.

-I plucked up the courage to go in

-and they made that.

-That one must be

-close to your heart.

-It's from the time

-when I started to play solo...

-..without the orchestra.

-You needed something tidy to wear.

-It's a lovely frock, I must say.

-Am I right to say

-that it's a kimono next to it?

-It is a kimono.

-That's from the time

-when the WNO began to tour abroad.

-It's an international costume.

-Yes, in a way.

-The more I look at it,

-it wouldn't have fitted a woman.

-Japanese women are small and thin.

-That was probably a man's kimono.

-That was probably a man's kimono.

-

-It could well be.

-Come this way, Ifan.

-The last two are both black.

-The story of my life,

-30 years in an orchestra.

-When would you wear

-black frocks like these?

-Stage concerts, usually,

-at St David's Hall or the like.

-The Cardiff Singer of the World...

-..was an excuse to get a new

-long black frock every two years!

-The nearest one looks simple,

-but it's very glamorous as well.

-I love that one.

-It's so easy to wear.

-It fits you like a glove.

-I like it.

-What's special about that one?

-That has two different tops,

-because the bottom is a skirt.

-It's silk, and it has two tops.

-That style of waist

-is called a peplum.

-It hides a multitude of sins,

-if you've put on weight and so on.

-I had a black velvet top

-to go with that skirt as well.

-About how many frocks do you own?

-About how many frocks do you own?

-

-Oh, don't ask.

-I've been stuffing them

-into a wardrobe upstairs for years.

-I haven't counted them,

-but it's a fair few.

-What does your family

-think of the collection?

-They don't know the half of it,

-and I usually keep quiet.

-What are you going to do with them?

-No-one will open a museum in memory

-of Meinir Heulyn, I know that.

-They'll have to go

-to some costume shop, probably.

-Do you feel

-a sentimental attachment to them?

-Or can you be detached?

-They're of their time.

-It's the story of my life

-told by clothes.

-Thank you

-for sharing your collection...

-..or a part of the collection!

-Thank you.

-I'm now in Beddau

-near Llantrisant...

-..to meet Neil Jones,

-who has a fine collection of Groggs.

-Neil, it's nice to meet you.

-How did you start to collect Groggs?

-My wife bought me one

-for my birthday.

-A Grogg of Craig Quinnell.

-That was the first one,

-and I've been addicted ever since.

-I've bought one a month since then.

-Really? Every month?

-So, the collecting began

-by accident, in a way?

-My wife and I

-went to the Grogg Shop.

-I bought one for myself,

-and then I wanted another one.

-More are made, and you like them,

-and it continues.

-This one is also signed by Craig.

-I went down to the Vale

-when Wales were training...

-..and got his autograph.

-Where are these Groggs made?

-They're made

-on Broadway in Pontypridd...

-..by Richard in the shop.

-They're then taken to Maesteg

-to go into the kiln.

-They've got a factory in Maesteg

-where they are painted.

-So, they're made in Wales

-for people from Wales, like you.

-There are collectors

-all over the world, I think.

-But most collectors are Welsh.

-About how many do you have now?

-I have 350 to 400 Groggs now.

-I'm not exactly sure,

-but something like that.

-Shall we go to see the collection?

-Shall we go to see the collection?

-

-Yes, no problem.

-Lead the way.

-I must say, Neil,

-this is a remarkable collection.

-One thing that's immediately obvious

-is the variety.

-It's not just Welsh rugby players.

-It's not just Welsh rugby players.

-

-No.

-They're from many countries.

-I have Groggs of French players.

-Bastareaud.

-Ireland, New Zealand

-at the bottom, England.

-You've got some of Nigel Owens.

-The world's best referee.

-A couple of different Groggs

-of Nigel.

-He's a massive character

-in the game.

-Yes, he is.

-And they're all

-such good likenesses.

-With the card in his pocket.

-Wow! Remarkable.

-You have footballers here too.

-Yes, Gareth Bale.

-I'm a big Liverpool fan.

-You're not, are you? Liverpool?

-Carragher, Gerrard, Dalglish,

-and a couple from Man U.

-I'm glad to hear it. Who?

-Cantona, Rooney...

-And Georgie Best.

-How much does one Grogg cost?

-They all vary.

-A Grogg like this one,

-in a Welsh shirt...

-..is in the region of 70 to 80.

-But a Lions Grogg is about 150.

-The big ones can be 300 to 400.

-Can they really?

-Some of them, like Martyn Williams

-in the BaaBaas bust, are about 500.

-I like the Liam Williams one,

-if you could pass it down.

-That's a recent one, I'd say.

-Yes, in the Lions shirt.

-That's a perfect depiction

-of Liam Williams.

-Blood pouring down his face,

-but still playing on.

-It's a valuable collection, Neil.

-It's a valuable collection, Neil.

-

-Yes, my children's inheritance!

-What do the children

-think of your collection?

-I have two daughters.

-Mali is three,

-and Megan is eight next month.

-Megan is mad keen on rugby.

-She's been to the shop

-many times, and she likes them.

-Mali thinks they're chess pieces...

-..and wants to play with them.

-But they're not allowed

-in this room.

-You close the door.

-Yes, or they'd all be smashed!

-They're worth too much

-to be damaged.

-Richard, who makes them, is clearly

-an Only Fools And Horses fan.

-Yes, they do Rodney and Del Boy.

-They started doing Uncle Albert

-and Trig before Christmas as well.

-I see Muhammad Ali at the back,

-the world-famous boxer.

-That must be valuable.

-They haven't done many boxers.

-Muhammad Ali, one of Mike Tyson.

-Am I right in thinking that lots

-of these are limited editions?

-Years ago, they produced runs

-of only ten or eleven.

-Gavin Henson, for example.

-Only twelve of these were made.

-He's in the Toulon shirt.

-Now that they're so popular

-and collectable...

-..the runs are 300 to 500.

-With the Lions,

-125 of each Grogg is produced.

-So, they go up in value

-whenever a run sells out?

-When they sell out,

-the second-hand market is massive.

-They sell for a lot more.

-Where do you get yours?

-People sell them

-on Facebook or eBay, mainly.

-If you had to choose just one

-to rescue in an emergency...

-..which one would it be, and why?

-That must be a tough question.

-Gavin Henson in the Toulon shirt,

-because only twelve were made.

-Gavin's a character,

-and so talented.

-One of the best players

-I've seen playing the game.

-No wonder he's at the front there.

-I see several Sam Warburtons.

-Are you a fan of him as well?

-Are you a fan of him as well?

-

-Sam's the ultimate professional.

-He's also a double Lions captain.

-I love looking at this collection.

-I could stay here all day

-looking at various characters.

-What next, and who next?

-The next Grogg is Sam again,

-carrying a lion.

-As he came out of the tunnel?

-Yes, in New Zealand.

-Then maybe Julian Savea.

-Do you think

-we'll have a Grogg made of us?

-Um, no!

-Um, no!

-

-I don't think so either.

-Thank you very much.

-It's been a pleasure to meet you

-and to see your special collection.

-I'm now in Dinas Cross,

-Pembrokeshire, to meet Mair Davis.

-A little bird tells me that she has

-a special collection of owls.

-I can see owls already.

-There are three here,

-four, five, over ten outside.

-How many are there inside?

-Hello, Mair. How are you?

-Welcome.

-I can see owls outside,

-so who knows how many are inside.

-There are a few.

-Well, well, well.

-I can see loads already.

-Yes.

-Well, Mair, one thing's certain -

-this house is full of owls.

-When did you start collecting?

-Actually, Cled started me off.

-He went to school in Cwm Gwaun.

-Your husband?

-Your husband?

-

-That's right.

-At playtime,

-they were allowed into the woods.

-One day, he came across

-an owl's nest.

-I'm not sure if there were chicks,

-but the mother came back.

-He came down from the tree sharpish!

-He always said that owls

-were pretty and clever.

-I asked how they were clever,

-and he said that they fly silently.

-I bought this one for him in London,

-at the Ideal Home Exhibition.

-So, you bought that, the first one,

-but for your husband.

-Feel how heavy it is.

-Would you fancy

-carrying it all day?

-It is heavy.

-It is heavy.

-

-How could I have been so stupid?

-I'd have one longer arm

-if I hadn't kept swapping hands.

-When would this have been?

-When would this have been?

-

-I think it was 1972.

-This was the first one,

-then the collection grew and grew.

-What's in this envelope?

-This is a mystery.

-It came by post.

-I had no idea what it was.

-On closer inspection,

-I found a tiny owl.

-Imagine the work that took.

-Imagine the work that took.

-

-It's very nice.

-Lovely.

-But you don't know who sent it?

-But you don't know who sent it?

-

-I don't like to ask people.

-But it's a lovely little object.

-After seeing this,

-someone might own up.

-I'd be delighted

-so that I can thank them properly.

-There are more here, and there.

-And here, and over there.

-There are three here.

-There are three here.

-

-And three here.

-I missed those.

-And one by the fire. A jigsaw!

-And one by the fire. A jigsaw!

-

-How many pieces?

-I've no idea.

-It's 1,000 pieces.

-There are a few more here.

-A few?!

-A few?!

-

-A few, yes.

-That cupboard's full!

-That cupboard's full!

-

-Yes, more than full, actually.

-What a collection!

-Look at this one.

-Speak no evil,

-hear no evil, see no evil.

-The big ones at the back are pretty.

-No, that isn't the whisky!

-Did you say whisky?

-Yes, this one.

-So, there's whisky in it?

-Of course, that's proper china.

-Someone drank this one dry!

-Did you buy these?

-Did you buy these?

-

-Most of them are gifts.

-I was a teacher at Goodwick,

-teaching four to seven-year-olds.

-One of them got me an owl,

-and that opened the floodgates!

-Rows and rows of these

-were gifts from my pupils.

-There are stuffed owls behind you.

-Where did you get those?

-They were gifts as well.

-One from my husband,

-one from his brother.

-I'd say these are valuable.

-I'd say these are valuable.

-

-Yes, I think they're quite rare.

-Have you got more in the next room?

-Have you got more in the next room?

-

-Do you want to see them?

-After you.

-What was that? Oh, never mind.

-Another owl?

-Another owl?

-

-No, no!

-The last time I counted,

-I had a thousand items.

-This is special,

-bought for me by my brother-in-law.

-When it's on the wall, the eyes

-appear to follow you as you pass.

-It changes with the light.

-I see what you mean.

-What about this one here?

-I used this as a puppet

-to teach Welsh to the children.

-I used to tell them

-that this owl only spoke Welsh.

-They could ask questions,

-like are you happy?

-Then the owl would reply.

-Is it raining?

-No.

-Then they had to say yes or no.

-And the one you have there.

-Oh, this one's a favourite.

-Everyone likes it when they see it.

-Everyone likes it when they see it.

-

-Where did you get it?

-In Swansea, when Debenhams

-opened the first time.

-But that's years ago now.

-Cled doesn't like shopping.

-He told me to choose what I wanted.

-I didn't need anything,

-but I saw this and had to have it.

-What does Cled think

-of the ever-growing collection?

-He doesn't say much,

-but it's his fault that it started.

-Everyone kept buying them,

-but it's slowing down now.

-There aren't many similar ones.

-Are you going to collect more,

-or is that it now?

-It depends, you see.

-It depends, you see.

-

-On what?

-If I fancy one.

-If I fancy one.

-

-Mair, thank you for the welcome.

-Call again.

-Call again.

-

-It's been a pleasure to meet you.

-Thank you for sharing

-your collection of owls.

-It was nice to meet you.

-I started to learn Welsh in 2011.

-Five years ago.

-I found it easier

-to learn Welsh than English.

-There aren't enough opportunities...

-..for me to use my Welsh

-in Newport.

-I'd like to develop my oral skills.

-I find the North Wales accent

-a little bit difficult...

-..because I live in South Wales.

-I hope I'll be able

-to understand everything.

-If people speak slowly...

-..it won't be a problem.

-I'm really excited.

-I'm looking forward

-to meeting the family...

-..and to meeting new people.

-The Jones family

-live on Bryn Gwynt farm...

-..and they run Becws Islyn bakery

-in Aberdaron.

-I'm Geraint

-and this is Gillian, my wife.

-We live in Bryn Gwynt,

-Anelog, Aberdaron.

-Our son is a farmer

-and Fflur is a student.

-I started farming when I was young.

-I didn't go to college.

-I didn't fancy it.

-I wanted to work straightaway,

-so I started farming.

-We bought the bakery

-three years ago last November.

-We had no experience of baking.

-We just bought it,

-having given it very little thought.

-We went for it

-and things have gone quite well.

-We bake bread and cakes every day

-and we do a few deliveries.

-I get up at 6.30am

-to go down with Mam...

-..to bake cakes and help pack them.

-We're lucky because we see more

-and more visitors in the village.

-Tourists who come here like to hear

-Welsh being spoken in the bakery.

-I think people return here

-because the village is so Welsh.

-I've thought a lot about welcoming

-this Welsh speaker from Thailand.

-What sort of Welsh accent

-will he have?

-I can't wait to meet him.

-Hello. How are you?

-I'm Supachai.

-I'm Geraint.

-I'm Geraint.

-

-Hiya. I'm Gillian.

-How are you?

-Gwion. Hello.

-Welcome to Bryn Gwynt.

-Welcome to Bryn Gwynt.

-

-Thank you for the welcome.

-I just hope you understand our Welsh

-because we don't speak English.

-Gwion doesn't speak English.

-Gwion doesn't speak English.

-

-No. Not at all.

-I hope you enjoy your time here.

-I'll take you out

-to have a look around.

-We'll go to the bakery tomorrow

-to bake some bread.

-I look forward to baking bread.

-I have some experience of baking.

-I made some bread but I burnt it.

-We don't want that!

-To be honest, I'm really nervous

-but I'm very excited too.

-They're a very nice family,

-really welcoming.

-Very welcoming.

-They speak Welsh

-with a different accent to me.

-It's a great chance

-for me to learn something different.

-To learn real Welsh.

-Supachai helps Geraint

-deliver goods from the bakery.

-Take those to Ty Newydd

-and that's Y Gegin Fawr's order.

-Y Gegin Fawr?

-Y Gegin Fawr?

-

-It's a cafe.

-Ty Newydd?

-Ty Newydd?

-

-It's a hotel.

-Ty Newydd is on the seafront.

-I'll load the van while you do that.

-Then we'll do the deliveries.

-Good morning. I'm Supachai.

-I'm working for Becws Islyn today.

-Here's your loaf of bread.

-Here's your loaf of bread.

-

-Thank you.

-How long have you worked there?

-Only today.

-Are you enjoying it?

-Are you enjoying it?

-

-Yes, I'm really enjoying it.

-A lot of people here

-speak Welsh to me.

-It's a great opportunity

-for me to practise my Welsh.

-Excellent.

-Good morning.

-I'm Supachai

-and I work for Becws Islyn.

-Here's your bread.

-Here's your bread.

-

-Thank you.

-Does it rain every day in Aberdaron?

-Not every day but quite often!

-Thank you. Enjoy your bread.

-Hello again. Here's your basket.

-Hello again. Here's your basket.

-

-Thank you.

-Where's the money?

-Where's the money?

-

-Oh!

-Don't worry.

-I'll get it some other time.

-Do you use the van

-to deliver bread every day?

-No, not every day.

-We deliver every other day.

-I didn't expect his Welsh

-to be so good.

-He speaks the language really well.

-It's easy to get on with him.

-I feel as if

-I've known him for a while.

-His spoken Welsh

-is much better than I expected.

-This is her bill.

-For 12.10?

-For 12.10?

-

-Yes. Very good.

-Lunch for the farmer.

-A very hungry farmer!

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

-

-Good morning. How are you?

-Here's your bread.

-Here's your bread.

-

-Thank you very much.

-And my pasties.

-Pasties for the farmer?

-Pasties for the farmer?

-

-Yes - for my husband and my son.

-I'll take these. That's great.

-Thank you.

-Your bill is there too.

-Your bill is there too.

-

-The bill? Alright.

-Well done.

-Well done.

-

-Who's got some change for me?

-Don't you have any change?

-Don't you have any change?

-

-Free bread for me!

-She'll tell you to keep the change.

-Oh!

-Apparently,

-Aberdaron is as busy as Bangkok.

-I doubt it!

-Mind you, it's quite busy there

-on a sunny Bank Holiday weekend.

-Thank you very much.

-See you next week, Geraint.

-Ta-ta!

-I spent a very interesting morning

-with him.

-I really admire him.

-His Welsh almost embarrasses me

-because it's better than my Welsh!

-We had an interesting conversation.

-He's a clever lad.

-We had a bit of fun.

-He seemed to enjoy delivering bread

-and seeing the countryside.

-You're getting the hang of it.

-You can do tomorrow's deliveries

-on your own.

-Bread.

-What are those?

-What are those?

-

-Eccles.

-Eccles?

-This customer won't pay you today

-but give her this bill.

-She'll pay directly to the bank.

-It's a big bill, but don't tell her!

-Hello. How are you?

-Hello. How are you?

-

-Very well, thank you.

-I'm Supachai and I'm a new member

-of the Becws Islyn staff.

-This is my first day.

-This is my first day.

-

-Very good.

-This is your bread.

-What else do you have for her?

-I can't remember.

-I can't remember.

-

-Eccles.

-Very nice.

-Twm, you carry those.

-Another little helper for you!

-Martha knows what she likes.

-She's nibbling those Eccles!

-These Eccles are wonderful.

-Nice to meet you.

-around the sheep and the cattle.

-It should be fun!

-These are the cows

-I mentioned earlier.

-These are the mothers

-of the orange ones.

-Do you see the orange calves there?

-

-Move them?

-I think the cows

-are very angry at the moment.

-I wasn't very good at helping!

-Now I know

-that I need to get more exercise.

-You've got to be fit

-if you want to be a farmer.

-I feel that farmers

-deserve a lot of respect.

-There are a lot of jobs to do here.

-It's really, really hard work.

-Is there anything else I can do?

-Shall we herd the sheep?

-It's not easy

-for Thai people to learn Welsh.

-He seems to enjoy being here.

-Good morning. It's too early for me.

-Do you get up at four o'clock

-in the morning every day?

-Yes, we start work at 4.30 every day

-during the winter.

-In summer,

-we start at 2.30 every morning.

-We stay here all day,

-until around 9.00pm.

-You get up at 2.30am...

-..and the shop stays open

-until nine or ten o'clock at night!

-Yes, that's right.

-Yes, that's right.

-

-Oh!

-We get home at around ten o'clock...

-in the bakery.

-He spent 15 minutes in the bathroom!

-working away in the back room now.

-Put that down, lower it

-and then pull it up.

-The buns are ready.

-I really enjoyed making bread

-and having a new experience.

-I usually cook Thai food

-or Chinese food.

-I've never done anything

-like this before.

-It was new to me.

-I'll teach you

-to make bread by hand.

-Ah! The lazy man's way.

-The machine does everything.

-

-Yes.

-Turn it, like that.

-Press down firmly

-to get the air out of the dough.

-If you knead it too gently...

-..you'll have a huge loaf

-with a hole in the middle.

-It looks easy

-but it isn't easy at all.

-We make granary bread on other days.

-Now, you go like this.

-Sometimes, if we want a nice,

-unusual loaf, we go like this.

-This is how you make a hedgehog -

-draenog in Welsh.

-Like this.

-We charge 1.60

-for a square tin loaf.

-1.60? Yes.

-I charge 1.80 for that loaf,

-so it's 20p more.

-It's not a lot of money.

-It's not a lot of money.

-

-No, we're very poor.

-You're a qualified baker.

-How do you know the bread is ready?

-Do you make sure it's hard?

-If it sounds hollow, it's ready.

-Supachai's bread is very tasty.

-It's time

-to sell the bread now, Supachai.

-Can I ask you what I should do...

-..when I sell bread

-or cakes to customers?

-When someone comes in,

-say hello and welcome them.

-I'm Supachai and I'm learning Welsh.

-How can I help you?

-Do you have any bread left?

-The shelves are a lot emptier.

-To thank you all, I'd like to

-cook a Thai meal for you tonight.

-What sort of food will you cook?

-I'll prepare jasmine rice

-with a spicy pork salad.

-Let's get cooking at Bryn Gwynt.

-Will you help me?

-Will you help me?

-

-Yes, of course. Where do we start?

-What's oven in Welsh?

-What's oven in Welsh?

-More than enough.

-What is lid in Welsh?

-Caead.

-Caead? Thank you.

-It's on number six.

-Is that alright?

-I've learnt a lot of Welsh words

-in the kitchen.

-Can I ask you a question?

-What sort of food

-do Welsh people usually eat?

-I've been wondering what I'd cook

-for you if I were making supper.

-I think I'd probably cook lamb.

-Lobscouse is a popular dish,

-especially in the winter.

-Another thing I'd suggest

-is a Lleyn Peninsula dish.

-It contains buttermilk.

-It doesn't sound very nice,

-but it really is quite tasty.

-You start by frying bacon.

-Add an onion.

-Boil potatoes, then mash them.

-Put the mash,

-bacon and onion in a bowl...

-..and add buttermilk.

-Next, we'll slice the meat.

-We want small pieces.

-In Thailand,

-we cut them into tiny pieces.

-Are these too big?

-There's no need to worry about that.

-He's telling me off!

-The next step

-is to put everything in this bowl.

-What's bowl in Welsh?

-What's bowl in Welsh?

-

-Powlen.

-We put everything in this bowl

-and mix it all together.

-What's mix in Welsh?

-What's mix in Welsh?

-

-Cymysgu.

-Mix it all, then we've finished.

-The family has come to the table

-and everyone's hungry.

-This is jasmine rice

-with spicy pork salad. Enjoy.

-Thank you. I can't wait to taste it.

-Cheers!

-We've had

-two interesting days with him.

-It was a new experience for us too.

-I like the lad.

-He has a brilliant personality.

-You've cooked the meat very nicely.

-He's welcome to come back any time.

-I'm not overly keen on pork

-but this is lovely.

-I thought you had mint with lamb,

-but it goes well with pork too.

-I feel really sad

-to be leaving the Jones family.

-They were nice to me.

-They're really nice people.

-They taught me a lot,

-and showed me the way to do things.

-Thank you all very much...

-..for giving me

-this great opportunity...

-..to learn more

-about the Welsh language...

-..and about life

-in the countryside...

-..on the farm and in the kitchen.

-Thank you for the supper

-and for your company.

-Yes, and thank you

-for all your help.

-You're welcome

-to come to Thailand one day.

-Thank you. We may do that.
