0:13:01 > 0:13:03- What's the answer? Welsh learners?- - Education is the answer.

0:13:13 > 0:13:18- ..go through the education system - and have the ability to speak Welsh.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26- ..who don't pass the Welsh language - on to their children.
0:13:26 > 0:13:31- We must let them know that the - language is a priceless treasure...
0:13:31 > 0:13:36- ..and that it's a total waste - not to pass it on to your children.
0:13:38 > 0:13:43- As the AM for Ynys Mon, what - challenges lie ahead for Anglesey?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- We must become - a more affluent island.

0:21:20 > 0:21:21- He's brilliant.

0:22:17 > 0:22:20- We've been doing this for two years.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- We built this unit - around a year ago.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32- It's nice being able - to do it on the farm.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Why did you start?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Dad's a dairy farmer.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- We discussed diversification.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- The obvious step was - to make something from our produce.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- Mam attended a course at the Food - Technology Centre in Llangefni.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- She learned to make soft cheese.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- That's how it happened.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01- Recently, we've started - making hard cheeses too.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06- In the near future, we'll be able - to sell Rhyd Y Delyn hard cheese.

0:23:26 > 0:23:31- Personally, I think it's nice - that everything happens here.
0:23:31 > 0:23:36- You can see the cattle - walking into the milking parlour.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- Everything happens - in the same place.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43- The cheese tastes very similar - to Brie or Camembert.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- It's not quite the same - but that's how I would describe it.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- Well done.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- We travel down the road - to Menai Bridge...

0:24:24 > 0:24:29- It's totally different from - anything else you see on this river.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33- Yes, it's unique.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- Chateau Rhianfa is probably - the only chateau in Wales.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- It was designed - to look like a Loire Valley chateau.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- The land was bought - by the 2nd Baronet of Bodelwyddan...
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- ..Sir John Hay Williams, in 1849.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- The chateau was designed by - an architect from Liverpool.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- Why did they build - a chateau in Wales? Why not!
0:24:58 > 0:25:03- Sir John was rich and had romantic - ideas about medieval design.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- It's a complete fantasy.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- Much of what we see here - is original to the house.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- This is a magnificent ceiling.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24- Yes and that's the original paint, - which is wonderful.
0:25:24 > 0:25:30- Considering this place was converted - into student flats in the 1960s...
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- ..it's in amazingly good condition.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- These American walnut - Victorian doors are top quality.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43- You can see from the decor that the - present owners respect the space.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- Yes, the 20th century furniture - fits in really well.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- The architectural features like - the fireplace and the ceiling...
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- ..are a mixture - of Baroque, Indian and classical.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- Maybe that's why 20th century - Pop Art furniture is perfect for it!
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- What is that castle I can see, - beneath the window?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- Whatever it is, it suits the room!
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- You could throw almost anything - into the mix.
0:26:13 > 0:26:19- It looks like William Burgess's work - at Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- It's actually a working fireplace.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- It's under a window - but there's a flue to one side.

0:29:27 > 0:29:32- I may be more comfortable when - I sing rather than when I present.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- I'm finding my feet - as a presenter on live TV.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- It was nice to step back and - watch other people go on to sing.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- I was relieved not to - have to remember the lyrics...
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- ..or worry about the high notes.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18- You presented a series called Nodyn.

0:30:27 > 0:30:31- I got to travel around Wales - and I met a lot of Welsh artists.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- I must have met every band or artist - in Wales!
0:30:37 > 0:30:42- Is translating music to your ears? - It's time for our vocabulary bee.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- Oh, no!

0:33:23 > 0:33:26- Thousand of visitors - come here every year.
0:33:26 > 0:33:32- One of the main tourist attractions - is Pili Palas near Menai Bridge.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- You've had a complete turnaround - in your life, Gwawr.

0:34:00 > 0:34:03- I decided I wanted to do - something different.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- My husband was on the Internet - one Sunday morning.
0:34:07 > 0:34:12- He said, "You'll never believe - what's for sale. Pili Palas."
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- I said, "Oh, no, no way."
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- I had a phobia of butterflies!
0:34:19 > 0:34:20- Really?

0:34:25 > 0:34:28- I'd never been here in that time.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32- When I sunbathed in the garden - as a teenager...
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- ..I had a tennis racket by my side - to swat away the butterflies.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- I couldn't stand them.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- What kind of example is that?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- What kind of example is that?- - I'm not like that now.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- How did you conquer your phobia?
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- How did you conquer your phobia?- - We decided to buy the place.
0:34:47 > 0:34:52- Apparently, - I was hypnotized by Uri Geller!
0:34:52 > 0:34:56- The man who bends spoons?
0:34:56 > 0:35:00- We visited a similar place - near his home.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Before we went in...
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- ..he said he'd stay with me.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- I didn't know if I could do it...
0:35:08 > 0:35:11- ..but I was absolutely fine.
0:35:11 > 0:35:15- I couldn't tell you what he did. - I don't know.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20- I don't think he hypnotized me - in any way, but it worked.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- A butterfly landed on my hand - that day...
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- ..and since then, I've been fine.

0:35:31 > 0:35:36- People ask me what I like best - about Pili Palas.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- During the summer, - or when the weather's fine...
0:35:41 > 0:35:45- ..when everyone's gone - and the gates are locked...
0:35:45 > 0:35:50- ..and we can have an evening picnic - as a family in the park.

0:36:20 > 0:36:24- Audrey Mechell, the actress, - is an Anglesey girl.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- She has run a drama company - and toured Welsh theatres.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- I met her a while ago - to take a look at her clothes...
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- ..and the hundreds - of pairs of shoes she owns!
0:36:37 > 0:36:42- For help to follow the programme, - take a look at our website...

0:36:59 > 0:37:01- Lots of people want to know...
0:37:01 > 0:37:03- ..where I buy my clothes.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- They ask - how much I pay for my clothes.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10- They ask me how I get them to match.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- The point is - I'll buy my clothes anywhere.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- I'll buy clothes in Llangefni market - or in a market in Spain.
0:37:19 > 0:37:20- It doesn't matter to me.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- If I see something I like...
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- ..I don't ask how much it costs - or where it came from.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- All I do is ask myself, - "Will it suit me?"
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Audrey Mechell - and her theatre company...
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- ..have travelled - the length and breadth of Wales.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43- She loves drama - and her clothes are dramatic, too.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- That's special.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- I wear it - to chapel singing festivals.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- I have matching shoes, of course.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- If you're feeling - a bit under the weather, wear red.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- Red perks you up, no end.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- You've got to be pretty confident - to wear red.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- Yes, especially at my age.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08- I'll keep wearing red - for as long as possible.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- You're not afraid to stand out?
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- No. I'll know when it's time - to stop wearing red.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15- When will that be?
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- When will that be?- - When I've passed away!
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- You're talking to an actress - - don't forget that.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- You're talking to a drama queen!
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- I'd wear anything.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- I'd even wear it inside out!
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Cwmni Mechell - was my first drama company.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40- It was a cast of 18 actors.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- I remember performing that play, - for the very first time.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- The Llanfechell schoolmaster - had come to the school...
0:38:49 > 0:38:50- ..to the auditions.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- I said, "What play shall we perform, - Richard Jones?"
0:38:54 > 0:39:00- "Dive straight into the sea and do - Y Ferch O Gefn Ydfa!" he replied.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- We toured Wales for around 18 years.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06- I became the lady from Cefn Ydfa!
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- I wore this in Y Ferch O Gefn Ydfa.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13- I wore this in Y Ferch O Gefn Ydfa.- - Did you make this?
0:39:14 > 0:39:16- Yes - every single stitch.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- I used old curtains - to make the sleeves.
0:39:21 > 0:39:26- When you look at this dress, - what sort of emotions wash over you?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- A yearning for the past.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39- Do you wear everything you buy?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- Do you wear everything you buy?- - Goodness me, no!
0:39:42 > 0:39:46- Do you consider yourself - to be a shopaholic?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48- Yes - definitely.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- Definitely, definitely.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- The boys - took me on a trip to Ireland.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57- It was a treat for me.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- Off we went, to Ireland.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02- I didn't see a single shop.
0:40:02 > 0:40:07- All I saw was where Oscar Wilde - and Molly Malone once lived.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11- I didn't give two hoots about - Molly Malone and Oscar Wilde!
0:40:11 > 0:40:15- I wanted to go shopping - but I wasn't allowed to shop.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- I was disappointed.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- I bought something on the ferry, - on the way home - I had to!
0:40:21 > 0:40:22- I didn't enjoy it.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32- I can't come home - without buying a pair of shoes.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- Shoes are your weakness, then?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37- Yes. I can't resist buying shoes.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- I take an empty suitcase - when I go to Spain...
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- ..to carry my new shoes home.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- I like foreign shoes.
0:40:51 > 0:40:56- Well, Audrey! I've never seen - so many pairs of shoes in one room!
0:40:57 > 0:40:59- I'm not surprised to hear it.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- I don't know how they got here!
0:41:03 > 0:41:08- There can't possibly be room for - all these shoes in your wardrobe!
0:41:08 > 0:41:12- I keep most of them - in the bottom of the big wardrobe.
0:41:12 > 0:41:17- The struggle to find a matching pair - can take anything up to an hour!
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- Finding one shoe is easy.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- Finding its partner - is almost impossible.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- You know full well - that shoe is in there...
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- ..but you just can't find it!
0:41:30 > 0:41:32- You won't wear a different pair?
0:41:32 > 0:41:33- You won't wear a different pair?- - No - they must match.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- This skirt is a good example - of co-ordinating outfits.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- I can't remember where I bought it.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43- I happened to find these shoes...
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- ..nowhere near the shop - where I bought the skirt.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- These shoes match the skirt.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- I did a lot more driving - than I do now, in those days...
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- ..so I bought two pairs - of these gorgeous shoes.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01- One pair with covered heels - and a pair for driving.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08- What's your secret?
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- How do you look so young - and dress so young, yet smartly?
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- Well, I'm almost 80 years old.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21- I look in the mirror - and thank God I look presentable!
0:42:22 > 0:42:24- I dye my hair. I can't deny it.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26- I refuse to let my hair go white.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32- I've already told the hairdresser - to come and do my roots, when I die.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- I don't want anyone - seeing white hair.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37- That's the only thing I do.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39- It's the only thing, I swear.
0:42:40 > 0:42:45- I think it all depends on - your attitude towards life.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- You either have flair or you don't.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56- Audrey - what a star!
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- Let's head to Brynsiencyn - to see a small company...
0:43:01 > 0:43:04- ..which has built up - a global reputation.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- Bryn Williams met - Richard Hughes Roberts, the owner...
0:43:09 > 0:43:12- ..to see how they turn seawater - into Anglesey Sea Salt.
0:43:16 > 0:43:21- On the banks of the Menai Strait, - facing the Snowdonia mountains...
0:43:21 > 0:43:25- ..a small factory - produces world-famous salt.
0:43:25 > 0:43:30- Salt is a vital ingredient, as it - intensifies the flavour of food...
0:43:30 > 0:43:33- ..though we take it for granted.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37- I've come to Halen Mon - to meet Richard Hughes Roberts.
0:43:37 > 0:43:42- He'll take me through the process - of harvesting this unique salt.
0:43:43 > 0:43:45- This is the Halen Mon factory.
0:43:45 > 0:43:49- Richard, can you tell me - how you draw water from the sea...
0:43:50 > 0:43:52- ..to start the salt-making process?
0:43:53 > 0:43:56- At high tide, - which happens twice a day...
0:43:56 > 0:43:59- ..water is pumped - to one of these tanks.
0:43:59 > 0:44:03- The water is then filtered, - just to keep the pipes clean.
0:44:04 > 0:44:06- The water itself - is already very clean.
0:44:07 > 0:44:11- The water then passes through - a machine in this building...
0:44:11 > 0:44:13- ..which boils it in a vacuum.
0:44:13 > 0:44:17- This increases the concentration - of salt in the water.
0:44:18 > 0:44:21- Amazingly, there isn't much salt - in seawater.
0:44:21 > 0:44:26- Salt content must increase tenfold - before salt-making can commence.
0:44:26 > 0:44:30- The only waste created - by this process is pure water...
0:44:30 > 0:44:33- ..which we feed back into the sea.
0:44:36 > 0:44:41- The seawater is then released - into shallow crystallization tanks.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44- The last of the water - is extracted here.
0:44:44 > 0:44:47- You're left with just the salt?
0:44:48 > 0:44:51- Yes, we're left with salt crystals.
0:44:53 > 0:44:58- In the morning, you see salt - beneath what's left of the seawater.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01- We lift it out of the water - very carefully...
0:45:01 > 0:45:04- ..to avoid breaking - the salt crystals.
0:45:09 > 0:45:10- It's pure white.
0:45:11 > 0:45:15- Yes, it's pure white, - just as snow is pure white.
0:45:19 > 0:45:23- Salt crystals with nothing - added to them are pure white.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26- I'll take it slowly.
0:45:27 > 0:45:28- Explain what I must do.
0:45:28 > 0:45:32- Push the spade under the salt, - then lift it.
0:45:32 > 0:45:36- Try not to drag the spade - across the top of the salt crystals.
0:45:38 > 0:45:41- Drain the water, - or rather try to drain it!
0:45:41 > 0:45:42- Yes.
0:45:44 > 0:45:47- It's heavier - than I expected it to be.
0:45:48 > 0:45:52- The people who harvest salt - are stronger than they look!
0:46:12 > 0:46:17- Richard, this is the salt we removed - from the crystallization tank.
0:46:17 > 0:46:18- It's still warm.
0:46:18 > 0:46:20- It's still warm.- - Yes, that's right.
0:46:20 > 0:46:24- What happens now? - What's the next step of the process?
0:46:24 > 0:46:28- It seems strange, but we rinse - the salt flakes in brine.
0:46:28 > 0:46:31- This gets rid of lime - and tiny crystals...
0:46:31 > 0:46:35- ..which didn't form - on the surface of the seawater.
0:46:36 > 0:46:40- The tiny crystals fall through - the bottom of the basket.
0:46:42 > 0:46:47- This is how you create Halen Mon, - which is famous around the world.
0:46:47 > 0:46:49- Don't let me stop you. Keep it up!
0:46:58 > 0:47:01- Next, we drain the salt flakes - overnight.
0:47:02 > 0:47:03- To get rid of excess water?
0:47:03 > 0:47:05- To get rid of excess water?- - Yes.
0:47:05 > 0:47:07- It's then dried in the oven.
0:47:10 > 0:47:15- Seeing the process of producing food - is invaluable to me, as a chef.
0:47:16 > 0:47:20- I believe understanding the process - improves my cooking.
0:47:23 > 0:47:26- Apparently, Barack Obama's - favourite chocolate...
0:47:27 > 0:47:29- ..includes Anglesey Sea Salt.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32- Our journey around Anglesey - has come to an end.
0:47:33 > 0:47:36- You can watch this programme again - on Clic.
0:47:36 > 0:47:39- See you next time, - when I'll be in Aberystwyth.
0:47:39 > 0:47:41- Goodbye!
