-Hello and welcome to Heno

-on the first Thursday of November.

-It's great to have your company...

-..so sit back and enjoy the variety

-on tonight's programme.

-My studio guest this evening

-is the cook, Beca Lyne-Pirkis.

-Beca has a new book

-and a new series...

-..and she's agreed to cook

-for us in Llanelli too!

-Yes, that's right.

-This is what else we have for you.

-It's November and birds have left

-whilst others have arrived too.

-I've also got more leaves

-for you to recognize...

-..so join me, Iolo Williams,

-later in the programme.

-I'm in Dolgarrog

-in the Conwy Valley...

-..to mark 92 years since the village

-was struck by a disaster.

-Locals have gathered

-for a special service...

-..and to unveil a new memorial

-to remember the event.

-We've also got a fantastic

-competition for all you rugby fans.

-You can win a pair of tickets

-to the Wales v Australia match...

-..at the Principality Stadium

-a week on Saturday.

-I'll give you the question later.

-It's a warm welcome to Heno.

-We start with our resident

-nature expert, Iolo Williams.

-He's eager for us to get outdoors

-and learn about the world around us.

-Let's see what he has for us

-this November.

-It's November

-and it's the month of birds.

-The swallows have migrated...

-..but thousands of birds

-have arrived here for the winter.

-I'm at Burton Mere Wetlands,

-the RSPB reserve in the Dee Estuary.

-It's a manmade reserve

-built on farmland.

-The RSPB created a reserve that is

-excellent for all kinds of wildlife.

-This reserve sits

-on the Wales-England border...

-..with a third, or the best part,

-of the reserve sitting in Wales.

-One of the great advantages

-of such a large reserve...

-..is that you can get quite close to

-the birds without disturbing them.

-The wild duck is very prominent here

-and I'm sure most will recognize it.

-The drake is brightly coloured

-whilst the duck is very plain.

-The drake has to attract the duck

-so needs to look attractive...

-..but she has to lay

-and protect the eggs.

-They nest on the ground so she has

-to blend with the background.

-I'd like you to try

-and spot two other ducks.

-The first is the teal

-and the drake is very colourful.

-Keep your eyes peeled for

-a small duck with a bronze head...

-..and a green stripe across the eye.

-There's also the tufted duck

-with its black and white drake.

-Birds are the main attraction

-at the reserve this month...

-..but don't forget

-about the flowers.

-The red campion is very common

-but also interesting.

-This can flower from the start

-of spring, through the summer...

-..and into the middle of winter.

-It's flowering in a sheltered spot

-with a lot of sunlight.

-These are wild roses.

-It's winter so doesn't have any

-flowers but some red rosehips.

-The red colour

-attracts birds to eat them.

-They digest the flesh but pass the

-seeds far away from the main plant.

-During World War II,

-Mam collected the rosehips...

-..and made a drink that was full

-of vitamin C as fruit was scarce.

-Last month, I gave you

-three leaves to recognize.

-I hope you remember them as

-I've got another two for this month.

-We'll start with

-the leaf of the beech.

-The leaves are rounded

-and a bright green.

-The other one is over here.

-This is a sycamore.

-It's similar to the leaf

-on the national flag of Canada.

-It's a sycamore.

-Many think November

-is a bleak month...

-..but the Burton Mere Wetlands RSPB

-Reserve disproves that theory.

-There's plenty to see

-so get off that sofa and go outside.

-Don't forget to send your questions

-and photographs to Heno.

-Until next month, goodbye.

-These are the details to contact us

-with your questions and photographs.

-Email us on [email protected]...

-..or contact us via social media

-being outdoors during half term?

-being in the outdoors.

-They love playing in the mud.

-and a few Americans...

-..to a party at the

-Hideout Restaurant in Porthaethwy.

-Here, they prepare smoked meat

-in their special smokers.

-Today, I'll show you how to bring

-a taste of America to your meals.

-They were having fun there!

-A lot of people enjoy the cakes.

-It's released at the same time

-as the series.

-for everyone.

-It's important to have a balance.

-The girls help me to prepare

-their food.

-with some fruit.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Next, we head to the village

-of Dolgarrog in the Conwy Valley.

-It's been 92 years

-since disaster struck the village.

-Today, a special service was held

-to unveil a new memorial.

-Elin was there on our behalf.

-It was 9.00pm on 2 November 1925...

-..when the walls of the Eigiau Dam

-were breached above Dolgarrog.

-A torrent of water carried trees and

-stones and demolished nearby homes.

-Some 16 people were killed -

-ten adults and six children.

-If it wasn't for a social event

-in the village that night...

-..then many more

-could have been killed.

-On the site where the homes

-were destroyed by these stones...

-..a special service is being held

-to remember this tragic event.

-Today, we have a special service...

-..to remember those

-who were killed 92 years ago.

-We wanted something more substantial

-to remember them and have done that.

-The names have been engraved

-on this new memorial.

-It was important to do this and

-remember those who were killed.

-It was a huge blow

-to a village of this size.

-We wanted to share this story of

-the village with the local children.

-You're a pupil at Ysgol Dolgarrog

-and have learnt about the disaster.

-What have you been doing?

-We learnt about what fell down

-and the people who were killed.

-We've been learning about

-this history in school...

-..and planted daffodils on the path

-so that it looks pretty.

-It's an important event and they

-have worked very hard on the area...

-..to remember all those

-who lost their lives.

-I agree with all that has been said.

-I know the people who worked here

-and they did an incredible job.

-I think that stone

-is a wonderful piece.

-Gwilym Wyn Roberts

-took part in today's service.

-He currently lives in Cardiff

-but was raised in Dolgarrog...

-..and remembers his grandfather

-describing that horrific night.

-Taid and Nain lived here in 1925.

-Taid was one of the men

-who in the pitch black at 9.00pm...

-..and tried to save those people in

-the water but there was little hope.

-The water was full of rocks,

-trees and cattle.

-The scars still run deep

-in the village...

-..but it's still important

-to remember this tragedy.

-Dolgarrog has helped secure these

-types of reservoirs...

-..thanks to the passing

-of an act in Parliament in 1930.

-It meant reservoirs near villages

-had to be examined regularly.

-What do you think of the new

-memorial and all the work?

-It's wonderful and we're very

-grateful to Dafydd Williams.

-He's originally from Bethesda

-but married a Dolgarrog girl.

-He secured grants of 26,000 so

-that we can remember this tragedy.

-It's 92 years later

-and the villagers still remember.

-This new memorial means that the 16

-who lost their lives that night...

-..will be remembered

-for a very long time.

-It's important to remember

-these losses in our communities.

-Beca Lyne-Pirkis is my studio guest

-this evening.

-She's agreed to cook for us.

-This is a great recipe

-using a lot of fresh ingredients.

-You can take this

-into the office for lunch.

-I've soaked some rice noodles

-in boiling water...

-..and coated with sesame oil.

-There's also some carrots

-and red cabbage.

-These have a great colour.

-Yesterday, on social media...

-..people were talking about

-World Vegan Day...

-..so I wanted to show you

-a vegan recipe.

-Alys Williams, the singer,

-loves this recipe.

-Are people scared

-of cooking for you?

-I'm never invited to people's home

-for a meal...

-..but I'm more than happy

-to cook for others.

-There's a lot of chopping!

-Next, we have a simple dressing

-with soy sauce, rice vinegar...

-..and a crunchy peanut butter.

-It's similar to a satay sauce.

-Asian food is very interesting.

-I travelled around Asia and

-to Thailand when I was a student.

-They love fresh food and fish.

-You could add fish or chicken

-to this recipe.

-Grate in some fresh ginger

-and lime juice.

-Give this a shake.

-Some of my favourite recipes

-are in the book...

-..and it was very difficult

-to get a good cross-section.

-I had to include baking for fans

-of the Great British Bake Off.

-I had to leave out

-a lot of great recipes.

-I've got a fork and chopsticks

-for you.

-I'm not going to risk using

-chopsticks with this white top!

-I make such a mess!

-Scatter some peanuts over the top.

-There's also some fresh herbs.

-I'll try it shortly.

-Next, we travel to New York

-thanks to a viewer who lives there.

-Rhodri Morgan

-is originally from Cricieth...

-..but has lived in New York with

-his wife, Sioned for two years.

-They regularly watch Heno

-in New York.

-After hearing about the charity,

-Morgan's Fight in a recent show...

-..Rhodri decided to run the

-New York Marathon for the charity.

-They contacted us

-and sent us this message.

-I've decided to run

-the New York Marathon...

-..because I enjoyed running

-last year's London Marathon.

-It was my first ever marathon.

-We moved to New York last year so I

-applied for a place in the marathon.

-Five months ago, I heard that

-I'd been chosen to run the marathon.

-For the past three months,

-I've been training in Central Park.

-I need to improve my fitness

-to run the 26 miles.

-The main difference

-to training at home in Snowdonia...

-..compared to training

-in a city like New York...

-..is the process of finding

-an open space to run and train.

-I've been catching a train and

-running along the island's coast.

-I've been able to run 20 miles and

-I hope to run 24 miles this weekend.

-I'm raising money

-for the Morgan's Fight charity.

-I heard about Morgan on Heno

-and I was touched with his story.

-If you would like to donate money...

-..visit Morgan's Fight

-Of Neuroblastoma GoFundMe page.

-If any Welsh runners or supporters

-are coming to New York...

-..come at Brooklyn's Sunken Hundred

-from 4.00pm on Sunday 5 November.

-The details are on the screen now.

-We look forward to seeing you there.

-Thanks again for getting

-in touch with us, Rhodri.

-Good luck during the

-New York Marathon on Sunday.

-This is very tasty, Beca.

-I'm glad I didn't try

-the chopsticks.

-I'm filming next week

-for a Christmas special.

-It's going to be

-a hour-long programme.

-This is delicious.

-Parti Bwyd Beca returns to S4C

-on Wednesday 8 November at 9.30pm.

-The book is released

-at the same time.

-I'm so excited.

-There's American food

-in the first programme.

-Do your children enjoy cooking?

-My children love cooking.

-They like being in the kitchen.

-Thank you, Beca.

-Prynhawn Da

-returns tomorrow at 2.00pm.

-One lucky viewer could win 100

-or more in our quiz, Mwy Neu Lai.

-Gareth will also be in the kitchen.

-Tomorrow's Heno at 7.00pm

-has music from Mei Emrys.

-Richard Rees chats about

-the Radio Cymru Christmas Chart.
