0:02:03 > 0:02:06- I've been collecting - since the 1970s.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09- This is incredible.
0:02:09 > 0:02:10- What have you got in all?
0:02:11 > 0:02:12- Vinyls and cassettes.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Welsh cassettes, then CDs.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- The books are behind me.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- The books are behind me.- - They're interesting as well.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Everything to do with - the Welsh rock scene.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- And popular music too, - not just rock.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- I collect badges, I collect posters.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- I collect set lists, magazines...
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- ..books, T-shirts, - a bit of everything.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- This is incredible, I must admit.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46- I didn't expect to see - such a big collection.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- I belong to that generation...
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- ..where parents wanted their - children to have an education.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- A lot of them didn't pass Welsh on - to the children.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- The only people who spoke Welsh - were the grandparents.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- I didn't talk to them that much.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- I started to take an interest - in Welsh life.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- I found out - about Cymdeithas yr Iaith.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- I was about to go to university...
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- ..and that's where collecting - started for me.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- Is it fair to say - that collecting Welsh records...
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- ..helped you to learn the language?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Yes, definitely.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- I always tell people...
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- ..if you want to learn Welsh, - listen to Welsh music.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- One of the first songs - to help me a lot...
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- ..was Diolch Yn Fawr - by Meic Stevens.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- # Diolch yn fawr, diolch yn fawr
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- # Diolch yn fawr, diolch i Ifan
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- # Diolch i Ifan, diolch i Johnny #
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- After about ten minutes, - I could sing a Welsh song.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- # Diolch i ti, diolch i ti
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- # Diolch, o diolch i ti #
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Do you have a favourite?
0:04:09 > 0:04:10- Do you have a favourite?- - A favourite what?
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- A favourite album or EP?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- Or a favourite artist?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- It would have to be Meic Stevens.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- He's my main interest.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- Who else among artists - of that time, or artists today...
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- ..do you enjoy as performers?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- I then got into Hergest, - for some reason.
0:04:32 > 0:04:38- I remember getting a copy - of one of their records.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43- Oh, when was it? - A Christmas present in 1976.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- To this day, - I still play the vinyl...
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- ..because on one song, - there's a scratch.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- A scratch, and I love that scratch.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58- Do you know why?
0:04:58 > 0:05:03- Because it was snowing outside, - and I was playing the record.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Mam-gu came in, as they do, - to tidy the room...
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- ..and bumped - against the record player.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- She caused the scratch.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- Hearing the scratch - brings tears to my eyes sometimes.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- I know it sounds odd, - but that's what happened.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- I love looking at the collection.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- The variety of artists - is incredible.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- There's one of my favourites, Jess.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- All of their albums - are here on cassette.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46- Then here, - there are comedy cassettes.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Eirwyn Pontshan...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- ..and his stand-up set.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Jeifin Jenkins, - with some tongue-in-cheek songs.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56- Sion Corn, Pwdin Dolig.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- Then there are EPs here, and vinyls.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- What have we got here?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05- Meic, of course.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Meic is everywhere you look here.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- That's an English one, - Rain In The Leaves.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- I'd better put it back - where I got it, in case I get a row.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16- This is worth seeing.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- A historic collection, I'd say.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- Are there some valuable ones?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- The Meic Stevens ones are valuable.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- The most valuable one, possibly...
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- ..is Ail-ddechra, - Bran's first record.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- I've seen that go - for some 600 on eBay.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- That one is worth a bit of money.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- But you're not in the business - of selling them, are you?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50- I never have been.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- I give them away, if anything.
0:06:55 > 0:07:01- Some people also keep their records - in mint condition.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- That means they never play them, - but I like to play mine.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- The more battered the sleeve is...
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- ..the more pleasure - I've had playing them.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16- Well, thanks very much for the chat - and for letting us see all this.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21- It's been extremely interesting, - and I've enjoyed your company.
0:07:21 > 0:07:21- Me too.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22- Me too.- - Thank you.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- What do you do - with your empty bottles?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- Do you throw them, - or recycle them, perhaps?
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- This next person - loves collecting them.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- He makes quite an effort - to do so as well.
0:07:51 > 0:07:57- Mici Plwm is the famous collector - who shares his passion today.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- A part of his collection can be seen - at his lovely home near Pwllheli.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- When did you become interested - in collecting bottles?
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- It goes back to the time - when I stayed at the Urdd camps...
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- ..and then as one of the people - in charge, the swogs.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- I was always looking - for something different to do.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- At the Urdd camp - in Glan-llyn near Bala...
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- ..those who went - on activity weekends...
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- ..all did different things.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39- Climbing, walking, swimming, - sailing, canoeing, whatever.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- I'd come up with this idea.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- I'd got hold of one bottle.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- I started to wonder - where people found them.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- I learnt that they could be found - on old rubbish tips, and so on.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- I did some research and recalled...
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- ..that there was on old tip - in Ffestiniog, not far from Bala.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- I wondered if there were - any old bottles there.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- Treasures, as I call them.
0:09:08 > 0:09:14- A gang of us, six or more, went, - and we did find some there.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- I like their colours.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18- I think they're...
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- The different colours - and the different shapes.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27- They're an art form, very pretty.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- For people watching who fancy - starting to collect bottles...
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- ..what advice would you give them?
0:09:35 > 0:09:41- The first advice I'd give - is true for taking up any hobby.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- What springs to mind is, - be responsible.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46- Ask permission and so on.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47- Ask permission and so on.- - Definitely.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49- That's the very first step.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Explain to the landowner...
0:09:52 > 0:09:57- ..who's never thought that the tip - would be of interest to anyone.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- There are promises you make...
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- ..to leave the place - as tidy as you found it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- Not to leave bits of bottles - strewn around on the surface...
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- ..that could harm animals and so on.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- It all boils down - to common courtesy.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- I remember one of us - coming across three hand grenades.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21- Good grief!
0:10:21 > 0:10:26- The Home Guard had thrown them away - after the war, with the rubbish.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30- They were rusty, and it was - impossible to remove the pins...
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- ..or the tip and myself - wouldn't still be around.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- As I live in Pwllheli...
0:10:47 > 0:10:52- ..this is a bottle - that I'd say is very common.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53- Victoria Stores, Pwllheli.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Victoria Stores, Pwllheli.- - Thomas Williams.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- This would have been - the most common pop bottle.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- There have been thousands - of these around in town.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- They were made and filled locally.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Why is the marble there?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- What's the reason for that?
0:11:12 > 0:11:17- The old Welsh word - for a marble is 'to'.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- We'd call them 'to jin'.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Jin, or gin, as in ginger beer.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- It became jojin in the vernacular.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29- That's very interesting.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- That's very interesting.- - This is the one, I'd say...
0:11:32 > 0:11:37- ..if the house was on fire - and I had to save one of them...
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- ..this would definitely be it.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Because it's local?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- Yes, and Victoria Stores - is still in Pwllheli.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Maybe Thomas Williams' descendants - are still around.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- In a way, - it's a historical piece...
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- ..like the census of its day.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54- Remarkable.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02- Then there's that bottle, - which held medicine, did it?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- Yes, a medicine bottle.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- These marks either side - of the legend table spoon...
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- ..seem to me to be a means - of measuring one tablespoon.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- It was like the Braille of its time.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20- Excellent.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- I like that big blue one, Mici.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- That one is lovely.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Let's see what it says on this one.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- World Famed Blood Mixture.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Lincoln, England.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- Another medical product, - made by a company called Clarke's.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- There are darker blue ones, - and I do like that colour.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- That's called cobalt blue.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- This is a lovely colour though.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- As well as the empty bottles...
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- ..you have some bottles - with ships in them.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- Sailing ships, yes.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- The area has a rich history - of sailing ships.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- I've got about a dozen of these.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- I'll tell you a secret.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- This one wasn't made by a sailor, - and there's an obvious clue.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- A sailor would have put the ship in - through the neck of the bottle.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24- But whoever made this - used heated copper wire...
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- ..to burn a piece of the base out.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- They kept it to one side, - put the ship into the bottle...
0:13:31 > 0:13:37- ..then cut the string that was used - to draw the masts vertically...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- ..then glued the glass - back into the base.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- These are becoming rare.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- People think they're toys, - but it's a true art.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- How much pleasure has collecting - these bottles given you?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Well, going out with a group...
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Not too many, or there won't be - enough bottles to go round!
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- That social element is a pleasure.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18- Finding them.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Finding them - and touching them is exciting.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- That's important.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- If I were to dig - in Tutankhamen's tomb...
0:14:28 > 0:14:33- ..the trouble would be, - I want to keep what I unearth.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- I'd have to slip things - into my pocket surreptitiously.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- But I'm the one digging, - and the bottles I find are mine.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- And as you say, you protect them - rather than collecting them.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Thanks for sharing - your collection with us.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- It's a wonderful collection, - and very interesting.
0:15:06 > 0:15:06- .
0:15:14 > 0:15:14- Subtitles
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- Are you familiar - with this Welsh nursery rhyme?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- "Mae gen i dipyn o dy bach twt."
0:15:27 > 0:15:32- Eirian Williams from Bangor's home - looks more like a village.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- A family passion - has become an obsession.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- Eirian's obsession - stems from her mother's influence.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49- For a while, they ran a shop - selling doll's houses in Caernarfon.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- The shop is now in Bangor...
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- ..but the collection - spills over into her home.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- What pleasure do you get - from these houses?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- I'm not a person - who plays with them.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- What I like to see...
0:16:10 > 0:16:15- ..is a slice of days gone by - that's still surviving...
0:16:16 > 0:16:17- ..and we look after them.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- These houses - are filled with history.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- When you look inside them...
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- ..it's like looking back - at the history of our family.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- As we look around - at all the houses in this room...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- ..they're quite a sight, I must say.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- Is it fair to say - that these are your favourites?
0:16:49 > 0:16:50- Yes.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Especially this one here.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Tell me about this one.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- About its history.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- It was made by Tri-ang, Number 63.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Tri-ang gave a number - to each series of houses they made.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09- Was Tri-ang a company?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Was Tri-ang a company?- - Yes, founded by three brothers.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- This is in its original condition.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- The wallpaper is all original...
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- ..to when it was bought - back in the 1930s.
0:17:21 > 0:17:27- It was only made - between 1930 and 1932.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- It was only produced - for three years.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- But what's lovely about it - is that you have kept it original.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- You haven't adapted it, - it's exactly as it was.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- If you come across a house - that hasn't been touched...
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- ..you don't touch it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48- Did you buy this online?
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Did you buy this online?- - Yes, we bought this one online.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- One evening, in this very room...
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- ..bidding against a German man.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- Mam had decided that this house - wasn't going to Germany!
0:18:00 > 0:18:01- It was coming to Wales.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- It was coming to Wales.- - Yes, it was coming to Wales.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- It cost a fair sum, over 800.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Does it have a name?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12- I call it The Little One!
0:18:12 > 0:18:13- I call it The Little One!- - The Little One!
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- But this is my baby.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- You have a marvellous collection - in this room.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- That chapel is among them, Salem.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- It's based on Salem in Penmachno.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- It's the harvest festival.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- The congregation - is listening intently...
0:18:57 > 0:19:02- ..and the mayor has turned up - to add his pennyworth.
0:19:02 > 0:19:08- What's the significance of the white - mouse in the little girl's hand?
0:19:08 > 0:19:09- That's a family story.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- My mother, - when she was six or seven...
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- ..had been to Bangor - on a Saturday afternoon.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- She bought a white mouse - for sixpence.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- My grandfather gave it to her.
0:19:22 > 0:19:28- As she was coming home, - there was a wedding at Berea chapel.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- She sneaked in to watch.
0:19:30 > 0:19:36- A cousin of hers was up from - South Wales to visit the family.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- He ran home.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- "Elen's in the chapel with a mouse."
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- My grandmother ran down the road...
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- ..to try to get my mother - and the white mouse out...
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- ..threatening - to return the mouse to the shop.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- That's why there's a little girl - with a white mouse in the chapel.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59- And you had that piece made?
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- And you had that piece made?- - Yes, I put that there.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- To keep the story - of Mam and her mouse alive.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- So, that's Salem chapel.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09- Penmachno, yes.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- And there's a huge house here.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16- A grand and luxurious house - with a special name.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21- This is Bryn Rhwydd, the name - of Nain's farm in Penmachno.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26- This is the first house - that Mam bought, years ago now...
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- ..in Colwyn Bay, when Dad fell ill.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30- The detail is incredible.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- I suppose, - to furnish a place like this...
0:20:34 > 0:20:40- ..you have to use your imagination - to show what kind of house it is.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- In a way, - you're an interior designer.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Yes, certainly.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- When you buy these houses, - they are completely empty.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- No wallpaper, no flooring, - nothing on the ceilings.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54- Nothing.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- It's a blank canvas - for you to do as you like with it.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- It was a farmhouse, - and Nain's father was a quarryman.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11- His work boots and lunch box - are there, and his shepherd's crook.
0:21:12 > 0:21:18- It's modelled on what Mam thought - Bryn Rhwydd would have looked like.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- If I had to escape - to one of these houses now...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- ..I'd love to escape - to Bryn Rhwydd...
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- ..and leave my shoes - at the foot of the stairs.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- That's where I'd like to go, - Bryn Rhwydd.
0:21:42 > 0:21:48- Eirian, we've come upstairs, - where there are more doll's houses.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- This one is a whopper.
0:21:52 > 0:21:53- Yes.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54- Yes.- - Bryn Elli.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- Yes, Bryn Elli is still standing, - not far from here.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Up in Penrhos, Bangor, - where I grew up.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04- Is it really?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Do you know what strikes me - about this house?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- How much detail there is - in the fittings and contents.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- Tell me a little - about the personal objects in it.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- This is a very personal house.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- There's a piano bag - next to the organ.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29- That's the exact type of bag I had - when I was learning to play piano.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- There's a black poodle - in front of the fire.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- That's Topsy, Mam's old dog.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Topsy was a beggar for stealing - KitKats out of Mam's bag.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- That's why there's a KitKat - next to her.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- Well, well, well.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51- At the time I lived in Bryn Elli, - Taid worked for a company...
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- ..that delivered newspapers - to the shops every morning.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- He always bought The Dandy - or The Beano home for me.
0:23:01 > 0:23:06- Even the Arran jumper - that Mam knitted for Taid is there.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- How hard is it - to get hold of items...
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- ..that are as similar as possible - to what you had as a child?
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- It's difficult, and that's why - it's a project that'll never end.
0:23:36 > 0:23:41- This is one of the rarest houses - that you have in your collection.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Yes, this is a very special house...
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- ..for more than one reason.
0:23:48 > 0:23:49- It's a Welsh house.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- This was made - by a company from Llanrwst...
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- ..a company called Conway Valley.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- They had a workshop in Caernarfon, - from what I understand.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- It's the only one - in this style left...
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- ..with a working music box.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12- It's only played - on very special occasions.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Is this a special enough occasion?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Well, alright then.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18- Let's have a tune.

0:33:43 > 0:33:45- You speak it really well.

0:33:47 > 0:33:51- I was working as a police officer - in Ammanford.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- A lot of people speak Welsh - in that area...
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- ..and I had to make an effort - to learn the language.

0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Yes, I had terrible trouble - in the beginning.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Everyone struggles with mutations.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13- I worried too much - about little details.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19- Speaking is all that counts - and the details come naturally.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23- Everyone understands you, - even if you make mistakes.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- You also need opportunities - to speak Welsh.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30- Yes, and that's why - I'm so happy to be here.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- I go to Welsh classes - every Thursday evening...
0:34:35 > 0:34:40- ..but other than that, I have - few opportunities to speak Welsh.

0:34:43 > 0:34:45- Do you all go to Welsh schools?- - Yes.

0:34:53 > 0:34:58- Yes, we always speak Welsh, - as do both sets of grandparents.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- We struggle - to speak English to each other.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- It isn't natural - for you to speak English.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- Come and see the bell tents - after lunch.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- Great. I've never seen one before.

0:36:07 > 0:36:09- Yes, and there's a log burner here.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- What's the Welsh word - for comfortable?
