-Hello and welcome to Friday's Heno

-live from Llanelli.

-We head from Abergavenny to Rosebush

-for a celebration with Mari Grug.

-Good evening from

-Tafarn Sinc in Rosebush.

-This weekend, the owners

-are celebrating 25 years.

-The time has come for the owners

-to pull their last pints...

-..but the pub will continue

-on to the future.

-There's a lot of excitement in

-the centre of Abergavenny tonight.

-A special lantern parade

-has been arranged...

-..to celebrate the Welsh language,

-following the Eisteddfod visit.

-Keep watching to find out more.

-Heno is searching for the new Gelert

-as part of the legends month on S4C.

-Tonight, me meet Georgie the dog and

-his owner, Elin Owen from Anglesey.

-We've got two guests on the sofa.

-Steffan Powell is

-a familiar voice on Radio 1...

-..and Jodi Bird's voice is making an

-impact in the West End and Broadway.

-One of the biggest names

-on the planet, Zoella...

-..has also published her debut book

-in the Welsh language.

-Recent figures show that there are

-27 pub closures a week in Britain.

-One of the most well-known pubs

-in North Wales and if not Wales...

-..became one of these statistics.

-It's The Quarryman's Arms

-is in the village of Llanllyfni.

-Over a century of history

-was demolished last week.

-The quarry was at the heart of the

-Nantlle Valley community for years.

-In the 1990s, local lad, Bryn Fon

-penned a song about his local pub.

-But the glory days were over and

-the final last orders were called.

-Our thanks to Elwyn Parry

-for sharing these images with us.

-Elwyn was also mentioned

-in the Bryn Fon song, Y Cwari.

-There were bleak times ahead for

-Tafarn Sinc in Rosebush recently...

-..as the owners decided

-to put the pub on the market.

-Following tireless efforts

-by the local community...

-..the pub has been saved and will

-remain in the hands of the locals.

-Mari Grug has popped home

-and is among all the action.

-Good evening, Mari.

-Good evening to you both.

-Welcome to Tafarn Sinc.

-It's been a part of my upbringing.

-I've had great meals here.

-This site is very important.

-The site will stay open.

-The Industrial Revolution and demand

-for slate saw the birth of Rosebush.

-Slate from North Pembrokeshire

-was exported around the world...

-..so they opened a railway

-from Clynderwen to Rosebush in 1876.

-The Preseli Hotel also opened

-but was forced to close in 1992.

-Brian and Brenda Llewelyn gave

-the building a new lease of life...

-..and Tafarn Sinc was born.

-Mam and Dad were out on a Saturday

-and met friends from Maenclochog.

-They told them that the

-Preseli Hotel was up for sale.

-Dad had a few too many shandies

-and came to look at it the next day.

-Within a week,

-he had put in a bid and bought it!

-It's a lovely place and you couldn't

-find a better location for a pub.

-The people are great

-and are our extended family.

-Tafarn Sinc is unique and few places

-have sawdust on the floor.

-All the artefacts on the wall

-tell the story of the area.

-It's Welsh and a very homely place

-with great company and beer.

-I come back

-because it's a hub of the community.

-I used to live here and

-had a lot of fun with the locals.

-I'm coming back

-and Hafwen and Biki are leaving!

-In January, news broke

-that Tafarn Sinc was up for sale.

-Hafwen and Biki had decided

-to pull their final pint...

-..but the community

-wouldn't let go of Tafarn Sinc.

-We had a meeting and expected 30 but

-had 100 people in Maenclochog Hall.

-Everyone was adamant

-that we had to buy the site.

-It's amazing that we raised

-over 200,000 in under two months.

-The site is popular because

-we had donations from far and wide.

-It has touched the hearts of those

-who have only been here once!

-Many celebrities love Tafarn Sinc

-and support this community venture.

-They are celebrities

-but are our friends.

-The most famous has to be the actor,

-Rhys Ifans.

-In October, the community venture

-to buy Tafarn Sinc was successful.

-Everybody wants

-this place to succeed.

-The community is behind us 100%...

-..so Tafarn Sinc will stay open

-for many years to come.

-Yes, I'm sure this place

-will stay open for many years.

-Hafwen and Brian or Biki Davies are

-the former owners of Tafarn Sinc.

-Was it a difficult decision?

-Yes, it was.

-I think they need someone younger

-to run the place.

-We've had a lot of great things.

-There's been all sorts of races and

-evenings.

-Why did you decide

-to keep the place open?

-This is a little museum.

-The future looks bright.

-It's in the hands of the solicitors.

-We hope to have some good news soon.

-I'm so delighted.

-There's a great cake for the event.

-This is Megan's cake.

-I can't wait to put by feet up.

-Thanks to everyone who came here

-over the years.

-We're very grateful

-for all the support.

-We'll be back in the future.

-This is a great site for people.

-Tafarn Sinc is a great place

-for visitors.

-Long live Tafarn Sinc!

-Cheers to everyone in Tafarn Sinc.

-Today, the sad news broke that

-the Coopers Arms in Aberystwyth...

-..will close its doors on Tuesday.

-It was an important part of the town

-and the lives of local students.

-singer, Jodi Bird joins us tonight.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-November is the month of legends

-on S4C.

-Heno is searching for a heroic Welsh

-dog or modern-day Gelert.

-Your dog doesn't have to be

-a life saver.

-Your canine hero could just offer

-every day help and comfort...

-..just like Georgie and her owner,

-Elin Owen of Anglesey.

-This is Georgie

-and she's five years old.

-She's been my guide dog

-for three years.

-She's changed my world and helped me

-do many things so she's my hero.

-I knew when I was six or seven

-that I wanted a guide dog...

-..after someone visited

-our primary school...

-..to tell us how a guide dog

-had changed his life.

-It was a new experience

-to train with a dog...

-..instead of my white stick

-which made me feel isolated.

-Having Georgie gave me

-the confidence to visit new towns...

-..which can be difficult due to

-the people and other obstructions.

-It's teamwork as I learn the route

-and Georgie follows my instructions.

-Everyone wants to stroke the dog

-and ask questions...

-..but that isn't always possible...

-..if I need to be somewhere

-or whilst crossing a road.

-It's a very close relationship

-as I trust Georgie to keep me safe.

-My life is in her hands when

-crossing roads and walking around.

-She's great company and has helped

-me to accept that I'm blind...

-..as I was really conscious of it

-when I used the white stick.

-She's just like any other dog

-when she isn't working...

-..and enjoys playing with her toys.

-It's important that she has time

-to be a dog too.

-Her focus changes when she's in her

-harness and she knows she's at work.

-The last three years have been fun

-and full of adventure...

-..and I can't wait to see

-what the future holds.

-I'm sure there are many similar

-stories around the country.

-We want to hear your stories and

-find the new Gelert for November.

-You can email us

-on [email protected]

-Write to Heno, Tinopolis,

-Park Street, Llanelli, SA14 3YE.

-We can't wait to hear from you.

-Have you heard of Zoella?

-She's one of the world's

-most famous bloggers.

-Today, she published

-her first ever novel in Welsh.

-Eiry Miles had the exciting task of

-putting it all between two covers.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Before we chat with Eiry...

-..let's find out more about Zoella

-and why she's so popular.

-Zoe Elizabeth Sugg was born

-in Wiltshire in England in 1990.

-These days, the 27-year-old...

-..is a world-famous beauty

-..under the name of Zoella.

-Almost 600 million people

-have visited her blog.

-She has twelve million subscribers

-to her YouTube channel...

-..and over eleven million followers

-on Instagram.

-In 2013, Zoella was named the most

-influential person on Twitter...

-Digital Ambassador for Mind.

-Yes, Zoella's influence is huge!

-That's part of the story

-of the famous blogger, Zoella.

-We still don't really know

-who she is!

-How did you get involved

-in adapting Zoella's book?

-I've never met Zoella.

-I was contacted by the Rily Press.

-They asked me to get involved.

-I didn't know anything about Zoella

-so was a bit worried.

-The book has received

-a lot of praise.

-This book has been highly praised.

-It's well-written.

-There's an exciting plot.

-It's a very modern novel.

-It talks about young people

-and the pressure to look good...

-..and social media.

-It's great to have this modern book

-in Welsh.

-It has been translated

-into 30 different languages.

-Yes, it's been translated into over

-30 different languages.

-It's going to be read by young

-people from across the world.

-Zoella is very popular.

-You know about Zoella.

-Yes, I do a lot with people

-like Zoella.

-I went to a convention

-in Birmingham.

-I spoke to a boy who looks

-at different computer games.

-I did an interview with him.

-The security guards had to hold

-back the crowds.

-These young people

-shared stories online.

-They are shot into the limelight.

-It's very interesting.

-In the final part

-of the programme...

-..Daf Wyn is roaming Wales

-in search of the perfect pumpkin.

-We meet the friends

-of the Rhondda lad, Lloyd Macey...

-..ahead of his appearance on The

-X Factor live shows this weekend.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Let's return to Daf

-who is looking at pumpkins.

-Halloween is a pagan festival that

-falls when the days get shorter.

-The pumpkin is associated

-with this festival but why?

-Centuries ago, people carved potato

-lanterns with terrifying faces.

-They were placed in the window

-to keep spirits at bay.

-The festival itself

-stems from Ireland.

-The Irish emigrated to America

-and took this tradition with them.

-In America, they discovered pumpkins

-which were much easier to carve.

-You could put a candle in the middle

-to give a sinister light.

-It's the time

-when they are harvested and sold.

-Keen gardeners in Wales

-grow a whopper of a pumpkin!

-It's been a busy year for you with

-all these pumpkins, Mr Griffiths.

-What's the biggest pumpkin

-you've grown?

-Three years ago, we had

-a great summer that was very sunny.

-I grew one that was heavier

-than two sacks of potatoes.

-What is that in stone?

-What is that in stone?

-

-It's eight stone.

-That's only

-a few stone lighter than me!

-You've also taught Jenny Jones

-to grow pumpkins.

-Yes, she's an intelligent woman

-and has beaten my record.

-Last year in Aberglasney,

-she did really well...

-..but had first and second this year

-so she's pushed me to the side.

-I've had my day!

-This is the winner

-and this one was second this year.

-How did Mr Griffiths feel

-that you competed against him?

-He wins in Llandyfaelog

-and I won in Aberglasney.

-Friends have had some

-for their children...

-..and I've made soup, chutney and

-a delicious pumpkin and ginger jam.

-Do you like their flavour?

-Do you like their flavour?

-

-No, not really.

-I grow them

-because I have great satisfaction...

-..in seeing a tiny seed grow into

-this big pumpkin in seven months.

-Mr Griffiths

-doesn't like its flavour...

-..but Alison has an idea for

-something sweet using pumpkin...

-..and there's plenty at Hendrewennol

-Farm in the Vale of Glamorgan.

-Four in ten people buy pumpkins

-at this time of year...

-..and waste 65% of the pumpkin

-but you can use it for cooking.

-Start with 175ml of sunflower oil

-in a bowl.

-Add 175g of brown sugar

-and three eggs and Daf can mix it.

-Haven't you got a machine?

-No, there's no electric here.

-That's perfect so you can

-take out the wooden spoon.

-I've got 200g

-of finely grated pumpkin.

-It doesn't have to be this fine as

-you can chop it up before adding it.

-Next, mix in currants or sultanas...

-..before adding

-200g of self-raising flour...

-..and a teaspoon of ginger,

-baking powder and vanilla.

-Grate in some orange zest and

-pour the batter into paper cases.

-Bake for 20 minutes at 180C or gas

-mark 4 and decorate as you please.

-That's how you make

-a simple pumpkin cake.

-There's no excuse to waste

-that lovely flesh.

-We won't waste these so

-let's dive in and thank you, Alison.

-You're welcome

-and I hope you like them.

-I love them, thank you.

-I'm going back for more!

-Thank you, Daf.

-Last weekend, the Rhondda's

-Lloyd Macey was on The X Factor...

-# And challenges every belief

-# There's a faint light

-on the horizon

-# Give me a little glimmer

-# A sprig of heather

-in the middle of a moor

-# A faint light

-to light up the night

-# Oh-oh-oh

-# The faint light is my company #

-APPLAUSE
