-Hello and welcome to Llanelli

-for your first Heno of the week.

-It was quite a weekend for Wales...

-..as Saturday's match made history

-but for all the wrong reasons.

-We witnessed 100 minutes of rugby

-which has never been seen before.

-It will be a painful memory

-for a very long time!

-Our guest was watching Saturday's

-match and yelling at her television.

-It's the full-back for the Welsh

-women's rugby team, Dyddgu Hywel.

-Welcome to the programme, Dyddgu.

-Thank you.

-Were you watching the match?

-Yes, I watched the whole 100 minutes

-of the match.

-I've never seen a game like it.

-Let's see where Elin Fflur

-and our live cameras are tonight.

-Good evening, Elin.

-Good evening to you.

-It's the first day of spring.

-Nature is waking and the world

-will become more colourful.

-I'll chat about the Spring Equinox

-with Medwyn Williams and Twm Elias.

-We reveal the winners of

-our luxurious Mother's Day hampers.

-Your stories

-arrived in their hundreds.

-We've got another competition to win

-a hamper in time for Mother's Day.

-What's Rhodri Gomer

-got for us tonight?

-I'll learn about an important piece

-of rural Welsh history and heritage.

-It's the old milk stand.

-We also meet Martin Rowlands,

-a singer from Bontnewydd...

-..who has been named one of the main

-performers on the new Disney ship.

-We start with some excellent news

-for Wales and for S4C.

-The Prime Minister, Theresa May

-visited Swansea today.

-She was confirming the investment

-in the city and South West Wales.

-During her visit, she revealed some

-great news about the future of S4C.

-We were delighted to be present

-to share the news with you tonight.

-Prime Minister,

-it's been a momentous day...

-..with the announcement of a date

-to trigger Article 50...

-..with over 1 billion investment

-in Swansea and South-West Wales.

-We understand there's good news

-for S4C today.

-Yes, the government has agreed

-a 10 million loan for S4C...

-..which will enable S4C

-to relocate to Carmarthen...

-..800 jobs being created

-in the area.

-S4C will share facilities with BBC

-The Prime Minister

-has spoken today...

-..about the precedence she gives to

-the Welsh language and the channel.

-Funds have been made available

-to enable S4C to move...

-..and invest in the new technology

-at the BBC too.

-There's always questions in regard

-to S4C's ongoing funding.

-Is there anything you can tell us in

-that regard in terms of the future?

-The announcements are about specific

-funding so S4C is able to move...

-..share facilities with BBC Cardiff,

-money for technical upgrade...

-..but taking it to the next stage

-in terms of technical facilities.

-S4C has a bright future.

-There will be a review and we'll

-announce who will hold that shortly.

-It looks at the future of

-the channel over the next decade.

-We've always shown

-a commitment to S4C.

-It is the world's only

-Welsh language broadcaster.

-It's important that this funding

-has been made available today.

-Fantastic news!

-Next, we're northbound for Anglesey

-to celebrate today's Spring Equinox.

-But what exactly does it all mean?

-Elin Fflur can elaborate further.

-Good evening, Elin.

-I'm in Llanedwen in the glasshouse

-of Medwyn Williams.

-In a moment, I learn about the

-Spring Equinox from Twm Elias.

-It's a busy time of year

-for any gardener.

-Earlier, Medwyn gave me a tour

-of this amazing site.

-Medwyn, the gardener, spends every

-day in his glasshouse in Llanedwen.

-He grows an array of vegetables.

-With spring on the horizon,

-I wanted to see what he was growing.

-You look incredibly busy

-so what are you doing at the moment?

-I'm transplanting

-some cabbage seedlings.

-They were sown in the trays

-before being moved to these cells.

-These will grow in the cells

-until they are quite strong.

-They spend a fortnight

-hardening-off outside...

-..before being planted in the land.

-We've had hail and it's cold

-this morning.

-This is the worst March

-that I can remember.

-We have two good days

-where spring is in the air...

-..but you get

-heavy rainfall overnight.

-This prevents the soil

-from drying out.

-We need south-easterly wind

-to dry it properly.

-Medwyn is a champion with 11 gold

-medals in the Chelsea Flower Show.

-Today, his leeks

-were a sight for sore eyes.

-You'll get a lot of leek soup

-out of these!

-Yes, but it would be

-a very expensive soup.

-I doubt people will have seen leeks

-of this size at this time of year.

-I started growing these last year

-and exhibited its relative.

-What else have you just planted?

-What else have you just planted?

-

-This is pak choi and it's delicious.

-It doesn't naturally grow in Wales.

-It doesn't naturally grow in Wales.

-

-Yes, it does.

-Oh, that tastes good.

-This next one is very different

-but it shouldn't be eaten.

-How does it smell?

-How does it smell?

-

-Terrible.

-It's ideal for preventing whiteflies

-and called a coleus canina.

-People often grow tomatoes

-and you've got a special one.

-Yes, and it's quite unique.

-Someone bred for this and wanted

-a name so I said the Red Dragon.

-The name was accepted

-and will feature in the catalogues.

-You've got this amazing

-glasshouse but not everyone has one.

-What's your advice for those people

-who want to plant a few seeds?

-Keep the seeds in the packet

-until the weather improves.

-My father exhibited

-in the Anglesey Show for 60 years.

-Spring would either

-be late or early...

-..but he always had vegetables

-for the show.

-We have to keep our faith

-in the weather.

-Keep the faith!

-Keep the faith!

-

-That's good advice.

-I had a great time with Medwyn.

-It's important to keep the faith!

-I'm now joined by Twm Elias.

-What can you tell us about

-the Spring Equinox?

-The Spring Equinox is when the day

-and night are the exact same length.

-From now on, days will be longer

-than the nights.

-In the autumn,

-you get the days in four parts.

-The Spring Equinox

-was very important to pagans.

-It was the time

-that Mother Nature...

-..was starting to wake...

-..and she was beating the darkness.

-It was a sign of her fertility.

-It was important

-to the Christians too.

-Easter is often celebrated

-at this time.

-It moves with the move.

-Easter takes place

-on the first Sunday...

-..after the first new moon

-after the Spring Equinox.

-Thank you for being here.

-I hope the sun starts to shine too.

-Thank you.

-Join me later when I'll tell you

-about a new cafe in the Bangor area.

-Thanks, Elin.

-Two wins, three losses, one injury,

-fifth place on the leader board...

-..and the most dramatic conclusion

-ever witnessed on the rugby pitch.

-Yes, the Six Nations

-is over for another year.

-If you didn't catch

-this 100-minute battle...

-..be prepared to shout

-and scream at the screen!

-His 50th cap, so a massive

-congratulations to Ken Owens.

-Lopez kicks it over the top.

-The two centres

-cross the line together.

-Remi Lamerat scores the first try.

-There's room for Biggar but oh!

-Wales is a point behind

-as the first half comes to an end.

-Tom Francis

-is doing exceptionally well.

-It's the sixth for Leigh Halfpenny.

-That's the most controversial end

-to any rugby match.

-Our studio guest found

-that difficult to watch.

-Women's full-back, Dyddgu Hywel.

-Thank you.

-What a drama!

-It was a very dramatic match.

-I've never seen a match

-last so long.

-You were able to watch the game.

-I got to watch the game

-as a supporter...

-..because I couldn't go to France

-with the girls.

-It was difficult to stay at home...

-..when the other women

-were out in France.

-It meant I could support the men...

-..and watch all the action

-in that historic game.

-A lot of people

-are talking about it.

-You were on fire

-during the first match.

-The Women's team was on

-fire against Italy.

-You were named woman of the match.

-It was a great start.

-We beat Ireland in January.

-We start the Six Nations

-and beat Italy.

-It was going so well...

-..until we got to play

-against England.

-We had great support

-in the Cardiff Arms Park.

-The women's team for England

-are professionals.

-We also lost to Scotland.

-We'll look back at the games...

-..and look forward to the World Cup.

-It was a difficult championship...

-..but you also lost a friend

-and team member.

-A former player died recently.

-It was a massive blow to the team.

-The squad has done so well.

-A lot of people paid tribute to her.

-Ellie's father gave us some jerseys

-before the game against Ireland.

-There are many treasured moments

-from the championship.

-We have some fond memories of the

-championship.

-It's great that a lot of the games

-were televised.

-I've been in the squad

-for five years.

-S4C has shown the games and

-you can watch it online.

-I've injured my hand.

-I should only be out of the game

-for four weeks.

-I did it in a tackle in the game

-against Ireland.

-I should be fine for the World Cup.

-Thank you, Dyddgu.

-It's time for a break.

-When we return, we take a look at

-one of the private collections...

-..that is being exhibited

-at the National Museum in Cardiff.

-The presenter and cartoonist,

-Sion Tomos Owen is in the studio.

-He's looking ahead to the

-second series of Pobol y Rhondda.

-We'll also announce the winners of

-our Mother's Day competition.

-Don't worry if you didn't enter as

-we have another hamper to give away.

-Keep watching to find out more.

-It's great to welcome presenter

-and cartoonist, Sion Tomos Owen.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Hello, my name is Sion Tomos Owen

-and I'm a Rhondda lad.

-I love the area and it's full of

-possibilities for an artist like me.

-I'm always searching for new ways

-to portray the valley in my work.

-During the series, I'll be speaking

-to a lot of interesting people...

-..and painting many images

-that reflect the valley.

-I'll put it all together to create

-a new map of the people of Rhondda.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-The first series was very popular.

-What can we expect

-from the new series?

-It's still about the people

-of the Rhondda.

-There's another map.

-It's in the shape of the Rhondda.

-There are themes of music

-and many other things.

-The series has put Rhondda

-on the map.

-The first series

-had a great response...

-..on both Twitter and Facebook.

-It was watched in North Wales,

-Kuwait and further afield.

-One of the viewers was 82 years old.

-She told me about her family

-from the Rhondda.

-Did you learn more about the area

-when you did the first series?

-It was very interesting

-to make the series.

-During the series, there's a tour

-of the breweries in the area.

-I learnt a lot of history.

-He told me so much.

-There are a lot of blue plaques

-in the area.

-Have you played rugby

-in the Rhondda?

-I used to teach at Ysgol Rhydywaun.

-There's a lot of teams in the area.

-The area is very Welsh.

-I've been approached

-by a lot of people...

-..and they have been Welsh speakers.

-A lot of people speak more Welsh

-when out on the street.

-It's great to see and hear.

-We met your daughter.

-Her name is Eira.

-She was in the first series.

-She arrived at the end

-of the first series.

-She's running around now.

-She's trying to see where I am

-when she watches television.

-Next, we have a once-in-a-lifetime

-opportunity for art fans.

-A private collection of artwork from

-prominent 20th century artists...

-..can be seen in the National Museum

-in Cardiff until January 2018.

-It features work by Francis Bacon,

-Henry Moore, David Hockney...

-..Barbara Hepworth and a lot more.

-Rhodri proved that the work

-of each artist is exceptional.

-Their work as individuals is

-the pinnacle to many collections...

-..in galleries around the world.

-For a short time, Freud,

-Hockney, Bacon and many others...

-..have had works displayed

-in Cardiff.

-The work in this exhibition...

-..is from one of the most important

-private collections in Britain.

-The collection is worth tens

-of millions of pounds.

-The owners have generously allowed

-the museum to borrow the work.

-There are artists such as

-Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth...

-..Lucian Freud, Francis Bacon

-and right up to Peter Doig...

-..who is a contemporary artist that

-has become world-famous recently.

-There's 31 pieces that include

-sculptures but primarily paintings.

-They stem from the 1960s

-and lead up to this century.

-There's a wide spectrum from modern

-paintings to very familiar pieces.

-If you appreciate art like myself...

-..this exhibition

-is a feast for the eyes.

-The museum should be congratulated

-for inviting the family to exhibit.

-The Tate Britain has an exhibition

-of work by David Hockney.

-It's the biggest exhibition

-in their history.

-Tickets have sold faster than

-any other exhibition it has hosted.

-A piece by Francis Bacon

-sold in New York four years ago...

-..was a world record at the time.

-It shows the pedigree

-of these artists.

-It's incredible that it isn't in

-one of the largest of rooms.

-You see an early piece

-by Hockney from about 1963...

-..alongside the work

-of the pop artist, Peter Blake...

-..and Auerbach.

-He has more oil paint on one canvas

-than I use in an entire year.

-You turn the corner to see the

-massive pieces by Peter Doig...

-..that have a dream-like quality.

-It's difficult

-to choose a favourite...

-..but Portrait of a Man

-by Francis Bacon is a favourite.

-It's challenging but has an

-important message of human nature...

-..and the way a person feels when

-they are psychologically imprisoned.

-Further along you have George Shaw's

-work that is photorealistic...

-..from paint that is used

-in famous models.

-I won't mention the company

-but those who paint models know it.

-It's an enamel paint so they shine

-and you can't see the brush strokes.

-They are wonderful.

-I like the work of the

-Turner-prize winner Grayson Perry.

-His two important vases

-are amongst his best work...

-..that represent being a man

-in the modern world.

-They are humorous yet serious too.

-If you're visiting the exhibition...

-..look at it in the context

-of the other rooms in the museum.

-You see the history of art

-in the four rooms.

-between the rooms...

-Picasso, Monet, Cezanne...

-..before returning to the work

-of Doig, Bacon and David Hockney.

-They are truly amazing.

-Visit the exhibition

-if you're in the area.

-It looks wonderful.

-It's closed every Monday.

-I didn't see it today.

-It's time for a break.

-In part three, we'll be chatting

-to the singer, Martyn Rowlands...

-..who has secured a contract

-on the latest Disney Cruise Ship.

-Our cameras will also return

-to Elin in North Wales.

-Join me in North Wales

-after the break...

-..as Gerallt visits a pop-up cafe

-that has opened in Maesgeirchen.

-First, let's hear about your events

-in our Calendar.

-grows some amazing vegetables.

-Gerallt has also

-been filling his belly...

-..at the pop-up cafe called

-Caffi Maes G in Maesgeirchen.

-Let's hear more about the community

-venture that opened last week.

-Cakes, a cuppa and a good chat

-are the essentials of any cafe.

-But this Maesgeirchen cafe

-has a lot more to offer.

-Enlighten us more about

-the brand-new Caffi Maes G.

-Residents enquired Communities First

-about opening a cafe.

-We're trialling it for six weeks.

-If it proves to be successful,

-we'll apply for grants to expand.

-Young people work at the cafe but

-tell us how they benefit from it.

-Our volunteers are provided

-with a training package.

-It addresses food hygiene,

-customer care and other aspects.

-They also learn how to

-make dishes from scratch.

-Oh, a decent cuppa, Kelvin!

-Tell us what's been happening

-We've been making soup

-and I've been serving customers.

-And just helping out.

-How's it going for you, Adam?

-How's it going for you, Adam?

-

-It's been going very good.

-It's been a big help here learning.

-It's a big change in experience

-to how I was in Milton Keynes.

-Caffi Maes G

-has been a really nice change.

-Jenny and Margaret

-have been guiding you around.

-They must be a massive help for you.

-Yes, it's been great to help out

-and serve tea and biscuits.

-What's the best cake on offer here?

-What's the best cake on offer here?

-

-Scones.

-Can I take two?

-Can I take two?

-

-No, only one!

-It's a great opportunity for the

-It's a tasty scone

-and a perfect cuppa.

-Caffi Maes G is a great idea and

-I hope it has continued success.

-It's my first visit to the cafe and

-they make a mean cuppa and scone.

-It's my first visit to the cafe and

-on the latest Disney Cruise Ship.

-Welcome to the programme,

-Martyn Rowlands.

-Thank you.

-What a job!

-Congratulations to you

-on securing this position.

-Tell us more about it.

-It's an amazing job.

-It all started in 2014.

-A woman I know

-put me on the right track...

-..as she's an agent for Disney.

-I told her that I'd love to go

-on a cruise ship.

-I gave her my demo.

-They loved it and

-the rest is history.

-You will leave in a few weeks.

-I'll be flying to Orlando

-to stay in the Hilton Hotel.

-There are other hotels!

-What will you be singing?

-I'll try to sing a lot

-of different songs...

-..from the Disney films.

-The Lion King

-is one of my favourite films.

-Circle of Life is a great song.

-I'll get to sing

-some of my own songs.

-It's great for me.

-I like American rock too.

-They enjoy that sort of music.

-You'll have to come back

-after the cruise.

-What songs do you lile?

-I like the Jungle Book.

-Congratulations

-Welcome back.

-A few weeks ago, our cameras visited

-Ysgol Gyfun Rhydywaun...

-..to wish them luck

-in the Big Bang competition.

-It encouraged and inspired

-children to learn about science.

-Earlier, we received the wonderful

-news that they had won the contest.

-Here they are receiving their prize

-at the Birmingham NEC.

-Congratulations and thanks to them

-for sharing this fantastic news.

-The old milk stands are a reminder

-of the past in rural Wales.

-As people forget about the period,

-one man from Aberystwyth...

-..is eager to take hold of this

-piece history before it's too late.

-Rhodri Gomer

-has been to find out more.

-People pass these old ruins

-every day without realizing it.

-But sadly, the old milk stands of

-rural Wales are fast disappearing.

-Some of them like this one in Cwm

-Pedol are swallowed by vegetation.

-Some have completely vanished

-and others have become ruins.

-There are ones like this one at the

-end of my road that lurk in hedges.

-These stone, bricks

-and cement platforms...

-..reflect an agricultural world

-that no longer exists.

-An Aberystwyth lecturer insists we

-document them before its too late.

-The challenge is to map every

-milk stand in the Ceredigion area.

-We stopped at Ceredigion

-due to its convenient border.

-They're dotted around the place in

-Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire.

-Only 25% of Ceredigion has been

-covered and 220 have been noted.

-The milk stands era

-was over in the late 1970s...

-..as agricultural methods changed

-and dairy farms expanded in size.

-But for 50 years prior to this,

-they were a prominent rural image.

-What was the purpose

-of these stands?

-Milk was cooled, poured into churns

-and delivered to the stands here.

-Everyone built a milk stand.

-There was a milk stand

-at the end of everyone's road.

-A lorry arrived here at 8.15am

-and we missed it.

-It wasn't because we woke up late,

-but a calf was being delivered!

-Sheep and beef cattle grazed on the

-Gwynfe and Llanddeusant hillsides.

-The Co-Op in Llanwrda asked farmers

-to leave two churns on the stand...

-..so they became dairy farmers.

-Almost every farm had a milk stand

-to indicate they were dairy farmers.

-During my father's era,

-they didn't use milk stands.

-They used a pony and trap

-to carry large 18-gallon churns.

-They delivered the milk with

-their cobs to the nearby station.

-We delivered milk from

-Dolaucothi Farm to Penyrheol.

-We'd call in the local Co-op

-to collect some essentials.

-Five or six farmers would gather,

-deliver milk and socialize.

-They're not interesting to look at,

-but more of a reminder...

-..of living in an area

-steeped with agriculturual customs.

-Dr Owen is concentrating on the

-Ceredigion area at the moment...

-..but hopes that more people will

-take a further interest in his work.

-If anyone would like to have

-more details about the project...

-..they can contact him via email,

-or Google milk stands in Ceredigion.

-These milk stands may just be a heap

-of bricks, stones and concrete...

-..but they're ruins

-from a bygone farming era...

-..that deserve to be celebrate

-and restored to their former glory.

-If anything,

-it signifies that we're still here.

-That's a great story.

-The Rhondda boy, Sion Tomos Owen

-and rugby player, Dyddgu Hywel...

-..have been our studio guests

-this evening.

-Martyn has gone to prepare to

-perform at the end of the programme.

-Pobol Y Rhondda is on S4C

-this Thursday at 9.30pm.

-What can we expect?

-I'll travel around the Rhondda.

-I'll be painting various images.

-I climb mountains

-and do some Thai Chi.

-Next, you have the World Cup.

-The World Cup is in Ireland.

-Mr Rowland Phillips is our coach.

-He's a great man.

-He's quite a character.

-That's all we have time for today.

-We leave you with Martyn Rowlands

-and the song, Byw Hebdda Ti.

-Until tomorrow, goodnight.

-# Oh, hold me, never let me go

-# You're my treasure,

-the greatest treasure of all

-# But it's difficult

-because I can't be with you, oh

-# But you're always on my mind

-# Oh

-# There are dark and lonely times

-# But we'll get through them now

-# Away for months

-and I long for your love

-# But we'll meet again soon

-# And now, she can see clearly

-# Into my sorrow

-# I can't live without you

-# In a dream, in a dream with you

-# Happiness,

-the happiness came into the world

-# But recently, time is scarce, oh

-# But you know that I love you

-# Oh

-# There are dark and lonely times

-# But we'll get through them now

-# Away for months

-and I long for your love

-# But we'll meet again soon

-# And now, she can see clearly

-# Into my sorrow

-# I can't live without you

-# Oh, all along the way

-# I'll be with you

-# I'll never let go

-# I'm faithful to you

-# Please believe me

-# Yeah

-# Yeah

-# There are dark and lonely times

-# But we'll get through them now

-# Away for months

-and I long for your love

-# But we'll meet again soon

-# From across the world,

-I miss you every day

-# You can call me any time

-# I'm here, I'm lost

-and need you so much

-# We're meant to be together

-# And now, she can see clearly

-# Into my sorrow

-# I can't live without you #
