0:25:22 > 0:25:26- Your dog doesn't have to be - a life saver.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31- Your canine hero could just offer - every day help and comfort...

0:25:32 > 0:25:36- ..just like Georgie and her owner, - Elin Owen of Anglesey.

0:25:46 > 0:25:50- This is Georgie - and she's five years old.

0:25:50 > 0:25:55- She's been my guide dog - for three years.

0:25:57 > 0:26:03- She's changed my world and helped me - do many things so she's my hero.

0:26:04 > 0:26:09- I knew when I was six or seven - that I wanted a guide dog...

0:26:10 > 0:26:15- ..after someone visited - our primary school...

0:26:16 > 0:26:20- ..to tell us how a guide dog - had changed his life.

0:26:24 > 0:26:29- It was a new experience - to train with a dog...

0:26:29 > 0:26:36- ..instead of my white stick - which made me feel isolated.

0:26:40 > 0:26:44- Having Georgie gave me - the confidence to visit new towns...

0:26:45 > 0:26:52- ..which can be difficult due to - the people and other obstructions.

0:26:53 > 0:27:00- It's teamwork as I learn the route - and Georgie follows my instructions.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04- Everyone wants to stroke the dog - and ask questions...

0:27:05 > 0:27:09- ..but that isn't always possible...

0:27:09 > 0:27:13- ..if I need to be somewhere - or whilst crossing a road.

0:27:13 > 0:27:21- It's a very close relationship - as I trust Georgie to keep me safe.

0:27:21 > 0:27:26- My life is in her hands when - crossing roads and walking around.

0:27:27 > 0:27:34- She's great company and has helped - me to accept that I'm blind...

0:27:34 > 0:27:40- ..as I was really conscious of it - when I used the white stick.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45- She's just like any other dog - when she isn't working...

0:27:45 > 0:27:49- ..and enjoys playing with her toys.

0:27:50 > 0:27:54- It's important that she has time - to be a dog too.

0:27:54 > 0:28:01- Her focus changes when she's in her - harness and she knows she's at work.

0:28:02 > 0:28:07- The last three years have been fun - and full of adventure...

0:28:07 > 0:28:11- ..and I can't wait to see - what the future holds.

0:33:48 > 0:33:52- Let's return to Daf - who is looking at pumpkins.

0:33:58 > 0:34:04- Halloween is a pagan festival that - falls when the days get shorter.

0:34:04 > 0:34:12- The pumpkin is associated - with this festival but why?

0:34:14 > 0:34:23- Centuries ago, people carved potato - lanterns with terrifying faces.

0:34:23 > 0:34:27- They were placed in the window - to keep spirits at bay.

0:34:28 > 0:34:31- The festival itself - stems from Ireland.

0:34:31 > 0:34:38- The Irish emigrated to America - and took this tradition with them.

0:34:38 > 0:34:45- In America, they discovered pumpkins - which were much easier to carve.

0:34:45 > 0:34:52- You could put a candle in the middle - to give a sinister light.

0:34:52 > 0:34:56- It's the time - when they are harvested and sold.

0:34:56 > 0:35:01- Keen gardeners in Wales - grow a whopper of a pumpkin!

0:35:04 > 0:35:09- It's been a busy year for you with - all these pumpkins, Mr Griffiths.

0:35:09 > 0:35:13- What's the biggest pumpkin - you've grown?

0:35:13 > 0:35:20- Three years ago, we had - a great summer that was very sunny.

0:35:20 > 0:35:26- I grew one that was heavier - than two sacks of potatoes.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28- What is that in stone?

0:35:28 > 0:35:31- What is that in stone?- - It's eight stone.

0:35:31 > 0:35:35- That's only - a few stone lighter than me!

0:35:35 > 0:35:39- You've also taught Jenny Jones - to grow pumpkins.

0:35:39 > 0:35:44- Yes, she's an intelligent woman - and has beaten my record.

0:35:45 > 0:35:48- Last year in Aberglasney, - she did really well...

0:35:48 > 0:35:53- ..but had first and second this year - so she's pushed me to the side.

0:35:54 > 0:35:58- I've had my day!

0:35:59 > 0:36:03- This is the winner - and this one was second this year.

0:36:03 > 0:36:08- How did Mr Griffiths feel - that you competed against him?

0:36:08 > 0:36:13- He wins in Llandyfaelog - and I won in Aberglasney.

0:36:13 > 0:36:17- Friends have had some - for their children...

0:36:17 > 0:36:24- ..and I've made soup, chutney and - a delicious pumpkin and ginger jam.

0:36:27 > 0:36:29- Do you like their flavour?

0:36:29 > 0:36:32- Do you like their flavour?- - No, not really.

0:36:33 > 0:36:39- I grow them - because I have great satisfaction...

0:36:40 > 0:36:46- ..in seeing a tiny seed grow into - this big pumpkin in seven months.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Mr Griffiths - doesn't like its flavour...

0:36:50 > 0:36:54- ..but Alison has an idea for - something sweet using pumpkin...

0:36:54 > 0:37:01- ..and there's plenty at Hendrewennol - Farm in the Vale of Glamorgan.

0:37:01 > 0:37:06- Four in ten people buy pumpkins - at this time of year...

0:37:06 > 0:37:11- ..and waste 65% of the pumpkin - but you can use it for cooking.

0:37:12 > 0:37:17- Start with 175ml of sunflower oil - in a bowl.

0:37:18 > 0:37:27- Add 175g of brown sugar - and three eggs and Daf can mix it.

0:37:27 > 0:37:28- Haven't you got a machine?

0:37:29 > 0:37:31- No, there's no electric here.

0:37:31 > 0:37:34- That's perfect so you can - take out the wooden spoon.

0:37:34 > 0:37:39- I've got 200g - of finely grated pumpkin.

0:37:39 > 0:37:46- It doesn't have to be this fine as - you can chop it up before adding it.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Next, mix in currants or sultanas...

0:37:50 > 0:37:54- ..before adding - 200g of self-raising flour...

0:37:54 > 0:37:57- ..and a teaspoon of ginger, - baking powder and vanilla.

0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Grate in some orange zest and - pour the batter into paper cases.

0:38:02 > 0:38:07- Bake for 20 minutes at 180C or gas - mark 4 and decorate as you please.

0:38:08 > 0:38:13- That's how you make - a simple pumpkin cake.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16- There's no excuse to waste - that lovely flesh.

0:38:16 > 0:38:20- We won't waste these so - let's dive in and thank you, Alison.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24- You're welcome - and I hope you like them.
