0:12:09 > 0:12:14- How did you divide the space - into rooms suitable for a family?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- We had to keep to - the original shape of the building.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29- We thought long and hard - about how best to divide the rooms.
0:12:30 > 0:12:36- We used timber partitions - rather than concrete or stone walls.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Timber takes up less space.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- It's also warmer and a - timber partition has some character.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- We needed three bedrooms - and that's what we have.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50- It works really well.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- The children have big bedrooms - and they're happy.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- These were the original beams.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02- We only managed to salvage - five beams from the old mill.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- The rest were rotten.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08- We wanted to put - some of the old timber in here.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- The old beams - make the place feel more homely.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- We collected lots of items - before we moved in.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37- These things knit the - whole project together perfectly.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- You can ruin something - if you're too elaborate.
0:13:41 > 0:13:47- The attractive thing about this - property is its pretty surroundings.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- You walk from one lounge - into another lounge.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22- I started to learn Welsh properly - six years ago.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- I hadn't done enough - up to that point...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- ..so I did everything possible - to learn Welsh.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45- Roger, my husband, - is learning Russian...
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- ..but he can't find anyone locally - who speaks Russian.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- I can pick up the phone - and speak to someone in Welsh.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- There are some difficulties...
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- ..but I don't see them - as being problems.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- I see them as interesting things.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11- I like mutations.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- I don't always get them right...
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- ..but I do like them.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- I like the differences - between English and Welsh.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- Let's return to the Fishguard area - to visit Tregwynt...
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- ..an old woollen mill - which is still working today.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- Shan Cothi met Eifion Griffiths, - the mill's owner, a while back.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- Five miles from Fishguard - is the village of Granston...
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- ..which is part - of the community of Pencaer.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- North of Granston - is a special building...
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- ..which has certainly - put this area on the map.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Eifion, we're surrounded by - a sea of colour.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- The mill itself - has a very interesting history...
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- ..dating back to 1912.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Yes, it's almost a century old.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Next year is the centenary.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- My grandfather - bought the mill in 1912.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- He came with his wife - and they started a family.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- By natural progression...
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- ..it has been passed to you - down the generations.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41- Well, I'm here!
0:21:42 > 0:21:43- Do you enjoy your job?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Yes. I've been here since 1979.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- I was an architect before that.
0:21:50 > 0:21:55- I had the chance to come back - and I thought I'd give it a try.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- So I came back and here I am.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- That period - must have been exciting...
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- ..because you had to put - your own stamp on the mill...
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- ..and transform things.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- The manufacturing - has stayed the same...
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- ..but a lot has changed - in terms of selling...
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- ..since the advent of the Internet.
0:22:19 > 0:22:26- Tadcu used to sell at the markets - in Fishguard and Haverfordwest.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- That was the furthest he'd travel.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- But we now sell as far as Japan.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- All over the world.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Melin Tregwynt is unique.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42- It's traditional, yet you're able - to keep the designs fresh.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- We have to stick - to traditional methods.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51- That's what we're about - and that's how we know how to work.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- But we also add a modern twist.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- The colour is all important.
0:22:57 > 0:23:03- We try to come up with colours - to suit the current market.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- We also try to offer more variety.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13- We may not bring out - new designs every single year...
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- ..but it's all about evolution.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06- It was an honour to be asked to - work there and I felt right at home.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- Following that period, - I took on a new challenge...
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- ..and I was a weather presenter - on S4C for over six years.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- You did that for six years?
0:25:17 > 0:25:22- Did you have to study meteorology - or did you learn as you went along?
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- I learned as I went along - and it was a steep learning curve.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- Pembrokeshire weather is unique.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36- Mynachlogddu can be very foggy but - 20 minutes down the road in Tenby...

0:25:38 > 0:25:42- I learned a lot in a short time - and I went on courses...

0:26:25 > 0:26:28- I haven't moved back - to Pembrokeshire yet...

0:26:43 > 0:26:46- I'm happy to roll up my sleeves - and pitch in...

0:26:53 > 0:26:56- None of us three sisters - work in agriculture.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- I may move back here.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- My husband comes from - North Pembrokeshire too...
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- ..so we're both drawn to this place.

0:27:32 > 0:27:33- Yes. Great meat!
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Bryn Williams, the chef, - went there...
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- ..to show us how to cook - a shoulder of lamb in the ground.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- I'm sure you're wondering - why a chef needs a spade.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- I'm going to cook a shoulder of lamb - in the ground.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10- I'll use the spade to dig a hole - three times the size of the lamb...
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- ..then I'll build a fire in the hole - and put the meat in there.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18- I'll cover it with soil - and let the meat cook for six hours.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- First, I must dig a hole.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29- In case you were wondering, I have - Benni's permission to dig this hole.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34- If you want to try this at home, - you need the farmer's permission.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47- The hole is deep enough.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Line the bottom with stones...
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- ..to make sure - the heat remains in the pit.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05- I'm now building a barbecue, - using the normal technique.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- The cooking process begins - when the charcoal is white.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25- The fire is almost ready, - so it's time to prepare the lamb.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- Here is it - the shoulder.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29- This is a simple technique.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- Take a knife - and score the fat, like this.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- The point of doing this - is to get the fat out of the meat.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- All the flavour is in the fat, - so it's important to do this.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- We'll cook the lamb in foil, - and plenty of it.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- Rosemary and lamb - go together really well.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- Pull the rosemary - off the tough stem.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03- Season it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- We need some oil - to help cook the meat.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- Just a drizzle of oil.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18- Use your hands to massage the salt, - the oil and the rosemary...
0:30:18 > 0:30:19- ..into the lamb.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- Wrap it tightly.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35- Lay the lamb flat on the charcoal.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- It's time to put the soil back - on top of the meat.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- Finally, the turf.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00- Hopefully, the lamb will be cooked - in between five and six hours.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Hopefully is the word! - I hope it cooks.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12- We'll see what Benni thought of - Bryn's lamb a little later.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- Next, let's head to - the Hermon area, near Crymych...
0:31:16 > 0:31:21- ..to meet another 2014 Welsh Learner - Of The Year Competition finalist.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Holly Cross lives there - with her parents...
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- ..and they've adopted - a self-sustainable lifestyle.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- I'm Holly Cross - and I live in Pant Yr Heddwch.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- I've lived here for five years...
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- ..but my parents have lived here - for over ten years.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51- I was born in Carmarthen. My parents - lived on a farm near Llandysul.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- I feel like a Welshwoman...
0:31:54 > 0:31:59- ..but we moved to Somerset - when I was around two years old.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- I was educated - and raised in England.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- We all moved back to Wales - when I went to college.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- I feel like I've come home.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- We grow vegetables and fruit.
0:32:21 > 0:32:27- We grow strawberries, raspberries, - peas, onions and tomatoes.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29- Everything you can imagine!
0:32:31 > 0:32:36- In the winter and in early spring, - very little grows here...
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- ..so we do buy fruit in the winter.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- With a garden this size...
0:32:42 > 0:32:46- ..it is possible to be - completely self-sufficient.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- We have almost 50 hens.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- A couple of our sheep - recently had lambs.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- We either sell the lambs - or we eat them ourselves.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- We also have some donkeys.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08- They did work on the land...
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- ..but at the moment, - they're relaxing and grazing.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- My father - keeps a couple of beehives.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- They've made this their home...
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- ..and we hope to have some honey - this year.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- Ever since I was little, - I knew I was different.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- I knew I was Welsh.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53- When I came back to Pembrokeshire...
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- ..I really felt part of a place - which is full of Welsh speakers.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02- That's when I realized - just how important it was...
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- ..to start learning Welsh again.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- I wanted to be - part of the community.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- Back we go to Bryn Williams - and his shoulder of lamb...
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- ..on Lodor Fach farm, Maenclochog.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- I wonder if that meat - turned out nicely.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- It's time to find out - if the meat is ready.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- It's been cooking in the pit - for five hours.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- I hope it's ready to eat.
0:34:45 > 0:34:46- Off comes the turf.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- I must be very careful now...
0:34:55 > 0:34:57- ..as I try to find the lamb.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- I really don't want to - tear the foil.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- The lamb is warm.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- That's a good start.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13- There it is.
0:35:15 > 0:35:16- As you can see...
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- ..the charcoal is still hot.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21- The lamb is soft.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25- I'll serve the meat in the foil.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31- I want to keep the heat - and the moisture...
0:35:33 > 0:35:34- ..inside the parcel.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42- The meat is cooked.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- I'll spoon a tomato salad - over the lamb.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53- I hope Benni - has finished his work...
0:35:55 > 0:35:58- ..and he's free to come up here...

0:39:23 > 0:39:26- There are a few rules - but mostly, it's about etiquette.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31- The English are more of a - green welly brigade than the Welsh!
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- They also wear tweed.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- We went point-to-point in England - a month ago...
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- ..and I'd never seen so much tweed!
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- Men, women and children - all in tweed.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49- There's much more tweed in England - than in Wales.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55- This is the suit I wear - to judge and to show the ponies.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02- When you judge competitions, - you wear a rather subdued jacket.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04- Yes, with a colourful shirt and tie.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- That's how you express yourself.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17- When you judge, you remove your hat - when you've chosen the winner.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- That's the signal?
0:40:20 > 0:40:21- That's the signal?- - Yes.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- They like to see the hat come off.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- Wyn Morris knows his horses - and his clothes.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38- Our next item comes from a very - special building in St David's.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- Greg Stevenson and Aled Sam - will tell us more.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48- For help to follow the programme, - see the website, download the app...
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- ..and don't forget the subtitles!
0:40:58 > 0:41:03- Saint David made a hill appear. - Did he make this one appear too?
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- No, it's a brand new hill!
0:41:05 > 0:41:10- It's an underground home built by - Peter Roberts, a Bristol architect.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- It looks like an eco house - but it's contemporary, in reality.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- I know there's a chimney here - because I'm choking!
0:41:19 > 0:41:21- Tell me about these windows.
0:41:21 > 0:41:27- They're roof lights and - they're perfect for this building.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- This house is built underground - but it's light inside.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- Carwyn, you were the builder - on this project.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- It's a studio, isn't it?
0:41:59 > 0:42:00- It's a studio, isn't it?- - Yes.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02- Was it a difficult project?
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- It was certainly - an interesting project.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- It's different - from anything I've done before.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- We encountered a few difficulties - at first.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18- When we dug down, we hit a spring, - so there was water everywhere.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Once we'd sorted that out, - it wasn't too bad.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Once we were out of the ground, - it became easier.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- What do you like most about it?
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- What do you like most about it?- - The roof, because it's unique.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36- The roof changes colour - all year round.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40- I like the glass too.
0:42:58 > 0:43:02- This looks small from the outside - but it's huge on the inside!
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- How many rooms are there?
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- This is the lounge diner - and the kitchen is at the far end.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11- There's only one bedroom here.
0:43:11 > 0:43:15- It's a small house - but it's brilliantly designed.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17- There are some great details here.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21- The corner pillar is interesting.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25- It's structural, in that it props up - the corner of the roof...
0:43:25 > 0:43:28- ..and it includes the fireplace.
0:43:28 > 0:43:32- Yes, and its rounded shape - fits in perfectly in this area.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35- St David's has many - round, Flemish chimneys.
0:43:36 > 0:43:40- Things like the fire screen - are also curved and organic.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43- Everything here is contemporary.
0:43:44 > 0:43:46- Even the fire poker is contemporary.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04- Do you like ice cream?
0:44:04 > 0:44:06- I love it!
0:44:06 > 0:44:09- Plenty of places in St David's - sell it...
0:44:09 > 0:44:12- ..including Gianni's, - which is just up there.
0:44:12 > 0:44:16- Iolo and Shan went there - to meet Dan Williams...
0:44:16 > 0:44:18- ..who had a summer job there.

0:44:23 > 0:44:29- Iolo and I want to taste some of the - Italian ice cream they produce here.
0:44:29 > 0:44:31- Hi, Dan. How are you?
0:44:31 > 0:44:32- Hi, Dan. How are you?- - Fine, thanks.
0:44:33 > 0:44:34- Hi, how are things?
0:44:35 > 0:44:36- It's busy here.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40- It's packed! Are you a local boy?
0:44:40 > 0:44:42- It's packed! Are you a local boy?- - Yes, I'm from St David's.
0:44:42 > 0:44:44- You look like a surfer.
0:44:44 > 0:44:45- You look like a surfer.- - Yes, I do a bit of surfing.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48- You have a nice job here.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51- You're a local boy, - you study in Cardiff...
0:44:51 > 0:44:53- ..and earn some pocket money here.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55- A little, not much!
0:44:55 > 0:44:58- A little, not much!- - Doesn't Gianni pay you well?
0:44:58 > 0:45:00- He's the shop owner, isn't he?
0:45:01 > 0:45:05- It's famous the world over. - There are so many flavours here.
0:45:05 > 0:45:06- Do you make the ice cream?
0:45:06 > 0:45:08- Do you make the ice cream?- - Yes, I make it.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10- How do you make it?
0:45:10 > 0:45:13- How do you make it?- - We start off with the milk.
0:45:13 > 0:45:14- We add sugar and cream...
0:45:15 > 0:45:19- ..and mix it all together - for an hour and a half.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23- We use the machine - that we have outside.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27- After that, we pour it - into another little machine.
0:45:27 > 0:45:32- That mixes it - for another half an hour or so.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35- We then transfer it - straight to the fridge.
0:45:35 > 0:45:40- Then, you add different ingredients - if you're making different flavours.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44- We'd add blueberries - by blending them in beforehand.
0:45:45 > 0:45:46- Does it need to set?
0:45:46 > 0:45:50- Does it need to set?- - No, it's ready straightaway.
0:45:50 > 0:45:52- It's fresh.
0:45:52 > 0:45:55- It sounds fantastic.
0:45:56 > 0:46:00- Are all these different types - of ice cream available daily?
0:46:00 > 0:46:05- We have five standard flavours, - which are always on sale...
0:46:06 > 0:46:08- ..but we mix things around - constantly.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13- If someone requests a flavour, - we'll make it.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16- Hey, this is such a famous place.
0:46:16 > 0:46:17- We just have to try one.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22- What's your recommendation? - Which one?
0:46:22 > 0:46:25- I'd go for the plain one - or the Celtic Crunch.
0:46:26 > 0:46:27- Celtic Crunch?
0:46:27 > 0:46:28- I'll have the Celtic Crunch.
0:46:28 > 0:46:29- I'll have the Celtic Crunch.- - I'll go for the plain one.

0:47:04 > 0:47:06- I couldn't work here.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08- I couldn't work here.- - You've made a mess already.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10- It's hard work looking after her!
