-Hello! I'm Nia Parry.

-Today, I'm in

-beautiful Pembrokeshire.

-Welcome to Milltir2.

-Welcome to the city of St David's,

-on the Pembrokeshire coast.

-Penfro, the Welsh name

-for Pembroke...

-..means pen - headland

-and bro - this area of Wales.

-The history of this area goes back

-to pre-Celtic times.

-We're here to learn about the area

-and its people, past and present.

-On this programme,

-I chat to TV presenter Mari Grug...

-..we take a look

-around St David's Cathedral...

-..we visit Fishguard and we meet

-two local Welsh learners.

-Bryn Williams cooks lamb

-in the ground...

-..and we peek inside

-a very special eco house.

-For help to follow the programme,

-see the website, download the app...

-..and don't forget the subtitles!

-Pembrokeshire is a county with

-a population in excess of 120,000...

-..around 19% of whom speak Welsh...

-..with most Welsh speakers

-living in the north of the county.

-Haverfordwest is the county town

-of Pembrokeshire...

-..whose coastline stretches from

-the Teifi estuary in the north...

-..to Amroth in the south-east.

-This coastline

-and the Preseli area in the north...

-..are part of Pembrokeshire Coast

-National Park.

-Thousands of people walk along

-the Coastal Path every year...

-..and enjoy the scenery

-and the wildlife.

-Along the path

-there are cliffs, small bays...

-..golden beaches

-and old fishing villages.

-The sea attracts swimmers, surfers,

-canoeists and kayakers.

-People also enjoy boat trips

-around the coast and the islands.

-Iolo Williams came here a while ago

-to meet Ieuan Jenkins...

-..who runs boat trips

-around Ramsey Island...

-..which attracts thousands of birds.

-What's your job normally?

-Do you bring people out every day?

-No, I work in the office.

-I book people onto the boats.

-I talk to the customers

-and tell them what they may expect.

-I try to get payment for trips,

-to give our guys some work.

-It's great for you to be able

-to come out like this occasionally.

-It's important

-to get out every so often.

-It's a reminder of what's here,

-and what to tell people they'll see.

-Hey, you have a nice job.

-Hey, you have a nice job.

-

-Oh, well. I enjoy it.

-I see those birds, the fulmars,

-are still nesting here.

-What else are we likely to see?

-Kittiwakes are nesting this year,

-but a bit later than usual.

-Do you think it's because

-it was a hard winter?

-Winter was a little later,

-by around three weeks.

-Guillemots and razorbills have left.

-There are two or three

-still on the island.

-The fulmars and shags are here.

-The fulmars and shags are here.

-

-There's plenty here.

-You can see birds here

-from March to October.

-There's something happening

-all year.

-September is the best month

-for seals.

-In spring, they're here

-as their skins moult.

-You can spot them lying

-on the beaches at that time.

-It's an exceptional place

-for wildlife and for people.

-Yes. People come here

-from everywhere.

-They come here

-from all over the world.

-They see the island

-and its wildlife.

-They come year after year

-to see it all again.

-It's a nice place to work.

-It's a nice place to work.

-

-Especially when it's like this.

-When it's fine and sunny,

-it's great here.

-I'm in Oriel Y Parc, St David's

-with Mari Grug, the TV presenter.

-Hello, Nia. How are you?

-We just saw Ramsey Island.

-Have you ever been there?

-No, I've never been there...

-..but the sheep on our farm

-in Mynachlogddu have been there.

-The people on the island

-bought sheep to graze the land.

-What does Pembrokeshire

-have to offer?

-It's a magical county.

-The people who live here say that...

-..and so do the people

-who come here on holiday.

-It's a county where the sea and

-the mountain are in close proximity.

-When I was a child, I had an

-amazing choice of beaches to visit.

-One beach on Saturday

-and another beach on Sunday.

-There's a big difference between

-the north and the south.

-I grew up in North Pembrokeshire,

-where the Welsh language is strong.

-You hear Welsh spoken

-in every village.

-The imaginary line

-called the Landsker Line...

-..divides the county into two.

-South Pembrokeshire is known as

-Little England Beyond Wales...

-..but these days,

-you do hear more Welsh there...

-..and there are more

-Welsh-medium schools there.

-Things are changing for the better.

-What about the dialect?

-You use some unique words

-and you have a unique accent.

-Definitely.

-When I went to university

-in Cardiff...

-..I was told that

-the North Pembrokeshire accent...

-..was the hardest accent of all

-to understand!

-We say dwe

-rather than ddoe - yesterday.

-We say wer rather than oer - cold.

-Do you say oefad or nofio -

-swimming?

-I say nofio but other people

-in the county say oefad.

-There are a few other differences.

-I say myny, not mynydd - mountain...

-..and newy, not newydd - new.

-It's nice, isn't it?

-It's very musical.

-I've got to be careful

-because I work on S4C...

-..and I want everyone

-to understand what I'm saying.

-That was especially true

-when I presented the weather.

-But I also love to introduce viewers

-to the North Pembrokeshire dialect.

-What do tourists do in this area?

-Where do they go?

-This small county

-offers people a huge variety.

-Visitors to the north go walking

-in the Preseli Mountains.

-They go to Foel Cwmcerwyn

-and Mynachlogddu.

-I'm very familiar with

-those mountains.

-People go to the south

-to enjoy the beaches.

-There's a huge variety of beaches,

-as I mentioned.

-Surfing is very popular in

-Freshwater West and Freshwater East.

-There's a bit of everything

-on offer.

-Water sports like kayaking

-and canoeing are very popular.

-I recently took a boat trip to

-Caldey Island to visit the monks.

-I'd been there before when I was

-in junior school in Crymych...

-..but I came here on holiday last

-year and I revisited the island.

-It was wonderful

-to experience it again.

-Pembrokeshire

-has many famous sons and daughters.

-Yes, huge talents like Meic Stevens,

-who grew up in Solva, St David's.

-Connie Fisher too.

-I sang in the same choir as Connie -

-Cor Newyddion Da, Maenclochog.

-Jemima Nicholas, the great heroine,

-saved us from the French!

-I was at school with Joe Allen,

-the Liverpool and Wales footballer.

-Not forgetting Saint David,

-the patron saint of Wales!

-I've climbed to the top of the hill

-above St David's Cathedral...

-..and the remains

-of the Bishop's Palace on the left.

-Back in the sixth century,

-David had a monastery on this site.

-This was Ty Ddewi -

-the house of Dewi.

-That's how St David's got

-its Welsh name - Tyddewi.

-David lived a simple life

-of hard work and prayer.

-All he ate was bread

-and all he drank was water.

-After his death,

-many stories grew around him...

-..and he was made

-the patron saint of Wales.

-Pilgrims came here to remember him

-and that's still true today.

-In 1181, under Bishop Bernard, work

-to build a new cathedral here began.

-Parts of that building

-can still be seen today.

-A high wall enclosed the cathedral.

-That wall was pierced

-by four gatehouses.

-The Tower Gatehouse

-is the sole survivor.

-Next to the gatehouse

-stands the Bell Tower.

-Join me after the break,

-when we travel up the coast...

-..to visit two old mills

-in Fishguard...

-..and to meet a Welsh learner

-from Newport.

-Welcome back.

-We head up the coast

-for our next items.

-First, we visit Fishguard,

-which is 15 miles from St David's.

-Fishguard is an old fishing town

-which lies on Cardigan Bay...

-..where River Gwaun

-flows into the sea.

-The name Fishguard

-comes from a Viking term...

-..for a fish-catching enclosure.

-Local people caught herring...

-..which was then shipped from

-Fishguard to Liverpool and Bristol.

-In 1906, a harbour was built in

-Goodwick, a mile from Fishguard...

-..and the Fishguard to Rosslare

-ferries sail from here.

-At one time, there were several

-mills in the Fishguard area...

-..but many of those

-are no longer in use.

-For help to follow the programme,

-see the website, download the app...

-..and don't forget the subtitles!

-In our next item, Aled Sam visits

-the old Tresinwen mill...

-..a building which had never

-been used as a home...

-..until Ed and Hedydd Hughes

-worked hard...

-o..to turn the mill into a cosy home

-for them and their children.

-No-one had lived

-in the old mill before.

-How did you divide the space

-into rooms suitable for a family?

-We had to keep to

-the original shape of the building.

-We thought long and hard

-about how best to divide the rooms.

-We used timber partitions

-rather than concrete or stone walls.

-Timber takes up less space.

-It's also warmer and a

-timber partition has some character.

-We needed three bedrooms

-and that's what we have.

-It works really well.

-The children have big bedrooms

-and they're happy.

-These were the original beams.

-We only managed to salvage

-five beams from the old mill.

-The rest were rotten.

-We wanted to put

-some of the old timber in here.

-The old beams

-make the place feel more homely.

-We collected lots of items

-before we moved in.

-These things knit the

-whole project together perfectly.

-You can ruin something

-if you're too elaborate.

-The attractive thing about this

-property is its pretty surroundings.

-Back in the house, Aled goes to look

-for Iwan and Carys, the children.

-You walk from one lounge

-into another lounge.

-Again,

-this is the width of the house.

-The back garden's there

-and the front garden's that way.

-This staircase

-leads to two bedrooms.

-The rest of this floor

-belongs to Iwan and Carys.

-Is this house

-better than your old house?

-Yes, it's much bigger

-and me and Iwan have a bedroom each.

-Everything's just the way

-I wanted it to be.

-Do you need anything else

-in this room?

-A television.

-You have a double bed!

-You could get lost

-in such a huge bed.

-Yes, Mam and Dad can't find me

-some mornings!

-Is this house

-better than your old house?

-Yes, there's lots more room for us.

-It's also better because I don't

-have to share a room with Carys.

-You have a garden too, of course.

-You have a garden too, of course.

-

-Yes - a massive garden.

-This room is great.

-I'm not sure if I prefer this

-or your sister's room.

-It's time to enjoy the house,

-rather than work on it.

-That's the plan!

-We're going to have

-lots of barbecues in the garden.

-It's going to be great.

-There's lots more character here

-naturally...

-..than we could have given to it.

-This is a wonderful location.

-The whole area is stunning.

-We want to enjoy the lifestyle

-that comes with living here.

-The seaside town of Newport,

-or Trefdraeth...

-..is seven miles from Fishguard.

-Someone who's moved there

-and learned Welsh is Susan Carey.

-She was a finalist in the 2014 Welsh

-Learner Of The Year Competition.

-I'm Susan Carey and I live

-in Newport, Pembrokeshire.

-I come from London

-but I've lived here for 30 years.

-I adore the sea

-and the sea is lovely here.

-There's a lovely beach here too.

-That's what attracted us to Newport.

-I have four horses, so I spend

-a lot of time looking after them.

-They're really sweet

-and I like them a lot.

-I ride them when I have time.

-I enjoy gardening...

-..and I listen to Say Something

-In Welsh when I'm in the garden.

-I really enjoy living here.

-The people here are really kind

-and warm.

-Everything here is done

-through the medium of Welsh.

-This community

-is really important to me.

-I didn't want to force anyone

-to turn to English for me.

-I started to learn Welsh properly

-six years ago.

-I hadn't done enough

-up to that point...

-..so I did everything possible

-to learn Welsh.

-I'm a member of Merched Y Wawr

-in Dinas and in Newport.

-I organize Y Clonc Mawr,

-a walk for Welsh learners...

-..and Welsh speakers alike.

-We all speak Welsh on the walk

-and it's good practise.

-I also write a column for learners

-in the Clebran community newspaper.

-I keep it simple to try

-to encourage people to read Welsh.

-I receive a lot of support.

-I'm very grateful

-to the local people for that.

-It makes a huge difference to me.

-I'm part

-of a Welsh-speaking community.

-I don't think it's easy

-to learn Welsh...

-..but I'm lucky because

-I can speak it with local people.

-Roger, my husband,

-is learning Russian...

-..but he can't find anyone locally

-who speaks Russian.

-I can pick up the phone

-and speak to someone in Welsh.

-There are some difficulties...

-..but I don't see them

-as being problems.

-I see them as interesting things.

-I like mutations.

-I don't always get them right...

-..but I do like them.

-I like the differences

-between English and Welsh.

-Let's return to the Fishguard area

-to visit Tregwynt...

-..an old woollen mill

-which is still working today.

-Shan Cothi met Eifion Griffiths,

-the mill's owner, a while back.

-Five miles from Fishguard

-is the village of Granston...

-..which is part

-of the community of Pencaer.

-North of Granston

-is a special building...

-..which has certainly

-put this area on the map.

-Eifion, we're surrounded by

-a sea of colour.

-The mill itself

-has a very interesting history...

-..dating back to 1912.

-Yes, it's almost a century old.

-Next year is the centenary.

-My grandfather

-bought the mill in 1912.

-He came with his wife

-and they started a family.

-By natural progression...

-..it has been passed to you

-down the generations.

-Well, I'm here!

-Do you enjoy your job?

-Yes. I've been here since 1979.

-I was an architect before that.

-I had the chance to come back

-and I thought I'd give it a try.

-So I came back and here I am.

-That period

-must have been exciting...

-..because you had to put

-your own stamp on the mill...

-..and transform things.

-The manufacturing

-has stayed the same...

-..but a lot has changed

-in terms of selling...

-..since the advent of the Internet.

-Tadcu used to sell at the markets

-in Fishguard and Haverfordwest.

-That was the furthest he'd travel.

-But we now sell as far as Japan.

-All over the world.

-Melin Tregwynt is unique.

-It's traditional, yet you're able

-to keep the designs fresh.

-We have to stick

-to traditional methods.

-That's what we're about

-and that's how we know how to work.

-But we also add a modern twist.

-The colour is all important.

-We try to come up with colours

-to suit the current market.

-We also try to offer more variety.

-We may not bring out

-new designs every single year...

-..but it's all about evolution.

-We move forward with our colours.

-Join me after the break, when

-Bryn Williams cooks some lamb...

-..and we meet Holly Cross

-from Hermon.

-Welcome back to Pembrokeshire.

-Hello again, Mari Grug.

-Where is Mynachlogddu?

-Mynachlogddu is a village at

-the foot of the Preseli Mountains.

-Were you born and raised there?

-What sort of place is it?

-Yes, I was born and raised

-in Mynachlogddu.

-I was brought up on a farm

-at the foot of Foel Dyrch.

-My father is a sheep farmer

-and my mother is a teacher.

-I have two sisters - Elin, my big

-sister, and Lisa, my little sister.

-What school did you attend

-and what did you do after you left?

-I went to Ysgol Y Frenni, Crymych

-and I spent many happy years there.

-I then went to Ysgol Y Preseli

-comprehensive school.

-When I left school, I went to

-Cardiff University to study Welsh.

-I enjoyed three happy years

-in Cardiff...

-..and I was lucky enough to get

-a job straight after graduating...

-..as a TV presenter on Planed Plant

-with Alex Jones and Alun Williams.

-During that period, I presented

-coverage of the Royal Welsh Show...

-..and the National Eisteddfod.

-I loved working on events which we

-as a family would attend every year.

-It was an honour to be asked to

-work there and I felt right at home.

-Following that period,

-I took on a new challenge...

-..and I was a weather presenter

-on S4C for over six years.

-You did that for six years?

-Did you have to study meteorology

-or did you learn as you went along?

-I learned as I went along

-and it was a steep learning curve.

-Pembrokeshire weather is unique.

-Mynachlogddu can be very foggy but

-20 minutes down the road in Tenby...

-..the sun can be shining.

-I learned a lot in a short time

-and I went on courses...

-..but I was a weather presenter.

-I made sure

-ordinary people understood it.

-You now present Heno on S4C.

-Do you enjoy it?

-Yes, I really do.

-I love to talk

-and I enjoy chatting to people.

-You never know

-who our guests will be.

-The variety is brilliant.

-I learn something new

-about the guests every night.

-What's the plan for the future?

-What's the plan for the future?

-

-I'll see what happens.

-I have a 15-month-old son

-called Steffan Ifan.

-I enjoy being a mother...

-..but I also enjoy working and

-having lots of variety in life.

-I've moved from Cardiff

-to Carmarthen.

-I haven't moved back

-to Pembrokeshire yet...

-..but it might happen.

-Would part of you

-like to move back home?

-Would you take on the farm?

-Would you take on the farm?

-

-No, I don't think so.

-Dad will be happy to hear that!

-I'm a very willing helper.

-I'm happy to roll up my sleeves

-and pitch in...

-..but I couldn't farm

-from day-to-day.

-It'll be interesting

-to see what happens.

-None of us three sisters

-work in agriculture.

-I may move back here.

-My husband comes from

-North Pembrokeshire too...

-..so we're both drawn to this place.

-What sort of experience is it

-to be Steffan's mother?

-A very enjoyable one.

-Steffan is a lively boy

-and he certainly keeps us busy.

-Being his mother

-is an absolute pleasure.

-Do you know where Maenclochog is?

-Do you know where Maenclochog is?

-

-Yes, I know where it is!

-People get Mynachlogddu

-and Maenclochog mixed up.

-Mam taught in Maenclochog.

-Do you know the people

-from Lodor Fach farm?

-Yes. Great meat!

-Bryn Williams, the chef,

-went there...

-..to show us how to cook

-a shoulder of lamb in the ground.

-I'm sure you're wondering

-why a chef needs a spade.

-I'm going to cook a shoulder of lamb

-in the ground.

-I'll use the spade to dig a hole

-three times the size of the lamb...

-..then I'll build a fire in the hole

-and put the meat in there.

-I'll cover it with soil

-and let the meat cook for six hours.

-First, I must dig a hole.

-In case you were wondering, I have

-Benni's permission to dig this hole.

-If you want to try this at home,

-you need the farmer's permission.

-The hole is deep enough.

-Line the bottom with stones...

-..to make sure

-the heat remains in the pit.

-I'm now building a barbecue,

-using the normal technique.

-The cooking process begins

-when the charcoal is white.

-The fire is almost ready,

-so it's time to prepare the lamb.

-Here is it - the shoulder.

-This is a simple technique.

-Take a knife

-and score the fat, like this.

-The point of doing this

-is to get the fat out of the meat.

-All the flavour is in the fat,

-so it's important to do this.

-We'll cook the lamb in foil,

-and plenty of it.

-Rosemary and lamb

-go together really well.

-Pull the rosemary

-off the tough stem.

-Season it.

-We need some oil

-to help cook the meat.

-Just a drizzle of oil.

-Use your hands to massage the salt,

-the oil and the rosemary...

-..into the lamb.

-Wrap it tightly.

-Lay the lamb flat on the charcoal.

-It's time to put the soil back

-on top of the meat.

-Finally, the turf.

-Hopefully, the lamb will be cooked

-in between five and six hours.

-Hopefully is the word!

-I hope it cooks.

-We'll see what Benni thought of

-Bryn's lamb a little later.

-Next, let's head to

-the Hermon area, near Crymych...

-..to meet another 2014 Welsh Learner

-Of The Year Competition finalist.

-Holly Cross lives there

-with her parents...

-..and they've adopted

-a self-sustainable lifestyle.

-I'm Holly Cross

-and I live in Pant Yr Heddwch.

-I've lived here for five years...

-..but my parents have lived here

-for over ten years.

-I was born in Carmarthen. My parents

-lived on a farm near Llandysul.

-I feel like a Welshwoman...

-..but we moved to Somerset

-when I was around two years old.

-I was educated

-and raised in England.

-We all moved back to Wales

-when I went to college.

-I feel like I've come home.

-We grow vegetables and fruit.

-We grow strawberries, raspberries,

-peas, onions and tomatoes.

-Everything you can imagine!

-In the winter and in early spring,

-very little grows here...

-..so we do buy fruit in the winter.

-With a garden this size...

-..it is possible to be

-completely self-sufficient.

-We have almost 50 hens.

-A couple of our sheep

-recently had lambs.

-We either sell the lambs

-or we eat them ourselves.

-We also have some donkeys.

-They did work on the land...

-..but at the moment,

-they're relaxing and grazing.

-My father

-keeps a couple of beehives.

-They've made this their home...

-..and we hope to have some honey

-this year.

-Ever since I was little,

-I knew I was different.

-I knew I was Welsh.

-When I came back to Pembrokeshire...

-..I really felt part of a place

-which is full of Welsh speakers.

-That's when I realized

-just how important it was...

-..to start learning Welsh again.

-I wanted to be

-part of the community.

-Back we go to Bryn Williams

-and his shoulder of lamb...

-..on Lodor Fach farm, Maenclochog.

-I wonder if that meat

-turned out nicely.

-It's time to find out

-if the meat is ready.

-It's been cooking in the pit

-for five hours.

-I hope it's ready to eat.

-Off comes the turf.

-I must be very careful now...

-..as I try to find the lamb.

-I really don't want to

-tear the foil.

-The lamb is warm.

-That's a good start.

-There it is.

-As you can see...

-..the charcoal is still hot.

-The lamb is soft.

-I'll serve the meat in the foil.

-I want to keep the heat

-and the moisture...

-..inside the parcel.

-The meat is cooked.

-I'll spoon a tomato salad

-over the lamb.

-I hope Benni

-has finished his work...

-..and he's free to come up here...

-..to try some shoulder of lamb

-cooked in a fire pit in the ground.

-Join me after the break

-to meet Wyn Morris from Llanycefn...

-..and to see

-a special building in St David's.

-Welcome back.

-Wyn Morris from Llanycefn

-is very fond of horses.

-He shows horses and he also

-adjudicates in shows.

-He's also fond of clothes and

-he likes to look smart at all times.

-I had a chat with him a while ago.

-Wearing nice clothes which fit well

-makes me feel better.

-Even if I don't have

-the best horse in the world...

-..look professional

-and you make a good impression.

-What role

-do clothes have in your life?

-The horses came first.

-In order to make my work easier,

-I had to dress appropriately.

-I had to look the part.

-I wanted to look professional and

-that's where the clothes came in.

-I'm a perfectionist.

-Wearing the right clothes

-is important to me.

-I don't want to look like

-a nutter wearing tweed...

-..when everyone else is in jeans.

-Where do you buy

-all these different clothes?

-I pick up most of it at the shows.

-There are some fantastic clothes

-at the Royal Welsh.

-You can buy them off the peg...

-..or made to measure

-a body like mine!

-This is where I keep the clothes

-I wear to show the horses.

-This is a lovely room.

-This is a lovely room.

-

-Thank you.

-The tweeds live here?

-The tweeds live here?

-

-Yes.

-This is the suit I wear

-for Mountain and Moorland classes.

-I've had it for over ten years

-but it's in good condition.

-Yes, it's like new

-and it's been dry cleaned!

-Is this a tailored suit?

-Is this a tailored suit?

-

-Yes.

-That's a luxury.

-Yes, and it still fits!

-Can you look at someone

-who's about to show a horse...

-..and know from their clothes

-what sort of horse they have?

-Yes, most of the time.

-You should know what they're showing

-from their clothes.

-It's about etiquette.

-There are a few rules

-but mostly, it's about etiquette.

-The English are more of a

-green welly brigade than the Welsh!

-They also wear tweed.

-We went point-to-point in England

-a month ago...

-..and I'd never seen so much tweed!

-Men, women and children

-all in tweed.

-There's much more tweed in England

-than in Wales.

-This is the suit I wear

-to judge and to show the ponies.

-When you judge competitions,

-you wear a rather subdued jacket.

-Yes, with a colourful shirt and tie.

-That's how you express yourself.

-When you judge, you remove your hat

-when you've chosen the winner.

-That's the signal?

-That's the signal?

-

-Yes.

-They like to see the hat come off.

-Wyn Morris knows his horses

-and his clothes.

-Our next item comes from a very

-special building in St David's.

-Greg Stevenson and Aled Sam

-will tell us more.

-For help to follow the programme,

-see the website, download the app...

-..and don't forget the subtitles!

-Saint David made a hill appear.

-Did he make this one appear too?

-No, it's a brand new hill!

-It's an underground home built by

-Peter Roberts, a Bristol architect.

-It looks like an eco house

-but it's contemporary, in reality.

-I know there's a chimney here

-because I'm choking!

-Tell me about these windows.

-They're roof lights and

-they're perfect for this building.

-This house is built underground

-but it's light inside.

-Carwyn, you were the builder

-on this project.

-It's a studio, isn't it?

-It's a studio, isn't it?

-

-Yes.

-Was it a difficult project?

-It was certainly

-an interesting project.

-It's different

-from anything I've done before.

-We encountered a few difficulties

-at first.

-When we dug down, we hit a spring,

-so there was water everywhere.

-Once we'd sorted that out,

-it wasn't too bad.

-Once we were out of the ground,

-it became easier.

-What do you like most about it?

-What do you like most about it?

-

-The roof, because it's unique.

-The roof changes colour

-all year round.

-I like the glass too.

-This looks small from the outside

-but it's huge on the inside!

-How many rooms are there?

-This is the lounge diner

-and the kitchen is at the far end.

-There's only one bedroom here.

-It's a small house

-but it's brilliantly designed.

-There are some great details here.

-The corner pillar is interesting.

-It's structural, in that it props up

-the corner of the roof...

-..and it includes the fireplace.

-Yes, and its rounded shape

-fits in perfectly in this area.

-St David's has many

-round, Flemish chimneys.

-Things like the fire screen

-are also curved and organic.

-Everything here is contemporary.

-Even the fire poker is contemporary.

-Do you like ice cream?

-I love it!

-Plenty of places in St David's

-sell it...

-..including Gianni's,

-which is just up there.

-Iolo and Shan went there

-to meet Dan Williams...

-..who had a summer job there.

-The Bench is a popular eaterie

-in St David's.

-Iolo and I want to taste some of the

-Italian ice cream they produce here.

-Hi, Dan. How are you?

-Hi, Dan. How are you?

-

-Fine, thanks.

-Hi, how are things?

-It's busy here.

-It's packed! Are you a local boy?

-It's packed! Are you a local boy?

-

-Yes, I'm from St David's.

-You look like a surfer.

-You look like a surfer.

-

-Yes, I do a bit of surfing.

-You have a nice job here.

-You're a local boy,

-you study in Cardiff...

-..and earn some pocket money here.

-A little, not much!

-A little, not much!

-

-Doesn't Gianni pay you well?

-He's the shop owner, isn't he?

-It's famous the world over.

-There are so many flavours here.

-Do you make the ice cream?

-Do you make the ice cream?

-

-Yes, I make it.

-How do you make it?

-How do you make it?

-

-We start off with the milk.

-We add sugar and cream...

-..and mix it all together

-for an hour and a half.

-We use the machine

-that we have outside.

-After that, we pour it

-into another little machine.

-That mixes it

-for another half an hour or so.

-We then transfer it

-straight to the fridge.

-Then, you add different ingredients

-if you're making different flavours.

-We'd add blueberries

-by blending them in beforehand.

-Does it need to set?

-Does it need to set?

-

-No, it's ready straightaway.

-It's fresh.

-It sounds fantastic.

-Are all these different types

-of ice cream available daily?

-We have five standard flavours,

-which are always on sale...

-..but we mix things around

-constantly.

-If someone requests a flavour,

-we'll make it.

-Hey, this is such a famous place.

-We just have to try one.

-What's your recommendation?

-Which one?

-I'd go for the plain one

-or the Celtic Crunch.

-Celtic Crunch?

-I'll have the Celtic Crunch.

-I'll have the Celtic Crunch.

-

-I'll go for the plain one.

-We can then share. Brilliant!

-Can we have one each?

-Brilliant, thanks a lot.

-Great, come on.

-That's the diet gone, Shani.

-Here comes Dan now.

-Celtic Crunch...

-..and a plain one.

-Thank you. Cheers!

-Here we go, ready?

-Here we go, ready?

-

-Mm. Oh!

-Oh, that's good!

-Where's yours, Dan?

-Where's yours, Dan?

-

-No, I've had more than enough.

-It's lovely.

-I couldn't work here.

-I couldn't work here.

-

-You've made a mess already.

-It's hard work looking after her!

-Iolo and Shan enjoying themselves...

-..just as I've enjoyed myself

-on my visit to St David's.

-See you next time,

-when I'll be in Pwllheli. Goodbye.
