-But without further a do

-Gareth has a puzzle for our viewers.

-Can you solve this puzzle?

-How many triangles

-are on this image?

-We'll reveal the answer

-at the end of tonight's programme.

-If you think you know the answer now

-email us at [email protected]

-Mother's Day

-is another important day.

-You can win some goodies that will

-please any worthy mother or anyone!

-We also take a look at more

-of your St David's Day photos.

-We aptly start on World Book Day at

-the National Library in Aberystwyth.

-Tonight there's a book launch

-of photographs of Ceredigion.

-Before we hear more about this,

-there was an event earlier today...

-..to remember a Welsh rural great

-and a friend of this programme...

-..the late and dear, Moc Morgan.

-Tell us more, Owain.

-Good evening, Sian.

-Yes, a memorial plaque was unveiled

-in honour of the great, Moc Morgan.

-I was at the unveiling this morning.

-His family and friends were present.

-This is Moc's favourite river

-and I'm sure Moc is here in spirit.

-APPLAUSE

-What does this memorial mean

-to you and the family, Julia?

-It's mean a lot to us

-especially the location of it.

-We'd come here at the start

-of every fishing season...

-..for Moc and his friends

-to fish along this river.

-Pont Llanio was his favourite spot.

-The Teifi was his favoured river and

-he said it was the queen of rivers.

-Down on the meadow, Dolau Gwawr

-was his favourite pool as well.

-The location

-of this memorial is wonderful.

-He would have been

-astonished by it all.

-He was a reserved character but

-would've been delighted with this.

-It was tradition for us to come here

-every 3 March to launch this season.

-We'd drop a tipple into the river

-to bring us luck for this season.

-It evolved into a tradition

-with a crew of us coming here.

-Moc would say a few words

-and sometimes we'd catch a fish!

-You could spend hours with Moc and

-it didn't matter if you got a catch.

-He had plenty of tales to tell and

-it was a joy to share his company.

-When Eifion came to the door

-I didn't know what to expect.

-He asked me to compose a few words.

-I thought of Ogwen Davies

-who described water as silvery.

-Eifion said the sun fly

-was very important to Moc.

-I combined the idea of silver

-and gold and Moc in heaven.

-I was watching a television quiz

-and the kingfisher came to mind.

-It reminded me of the talented

-king-fisher casting his rod.

-What was Moc like, Gwynfor?

-He was such a likable character.

-He knew everything about

-fishing and fly fishing.

-He encouraged me

-to start fly fishing.

-He would tell me the flies

-were safe enough to catch a fish.

-He was a hero of mine at school

-as a footballer.

-We kept in contact over the years.

-He would visit us at the farm

-where I was raised.

-He dropped off his car with us

-and enjoyed a spot of fishing.

-He taught me how to fish for salmon

-and I caught several in his company.

-I wouldn't have caught a single

-salmon if it wasn't for Moc Morgan.

-This place inspired him

-from a young age.

-He was born at Doldre.

-The water of the Teifi

-ran through his veins.

-This memorial plaque is fantastic.

-Most fishermen knew of Moc

-but when they come here...

-..they'll be able to see

-how special this river is.

-Everywhere will know where Moc

-enjoyed spending his time.

-I'm at the National Library

-in Aberystwyth.

-I'll chat to Iestyn about

-his new book later.

-Gareth Ffowc Roberts joins me

-on the sofa tonight.

-Welcome to Heno.

-Gareth has got a puzzle

-for our viewers solve tonight.

-The puzzle appears in this book.

-Yes. The puzzle

-is included in my new book.

-There's a message

-behind every puzzle.

-We tend to think of puzzles

-in terms of mathematics.

-However, we need to think

-outside the box.

-I'm sure many viewers

-are counting now!

-This book is an English version

-that did appear in Welsh.

-Yes. This book is an English

-translation of a Welsh Book.

-It's called Count on Us.

-It's an English adaptation

-for Wales and beyond.

-We've received lots of

-interest from England.

-The book looks at maths

-as part of our culture.

-We're known as being

-the land of song...

-..but we're also a country of

-scientists and mathematicians.

-It's a book about mathematics

-rather than a mathematics book.

-There's history of people in

-mathematics and Welsh connections.

-There have been several

-important Welsh mathematicians.

-Robert Record from Tenby

-is one of these prominent figures.

-He invented the equal sign.

-He was the first

-mathematics teacher.

-He saw the need to teach maths

-to the wider public.

-We're still scared of mathematics.

-Children don't fear maths.

-However, they fear the subject

-as they grow older.

-We should encourage children

-to enjoy the subject.

-We can't live without maths.

-We're dependant on mathematics.

-The book is very interesting.

-People all over Wales

-are trying to count the triangles.

-We've had disagreements!

-Our next stop tonight

-is Llanegryn in Meirionethshire.

-St David's Day celebrations

-are still underway there.

-There's also the launch

-of a brand-new book, Elin.

-It's great that students

-can join forces...

-..as we get to know one another

-and work together.

-I hope that the students will

-discuss the books that they've read.

-This will raise awareness and their

-interest in reading and literature.

-It's great to be able

-to combine reading with music.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Tonight's studio guest

-is Gareth Ffowc Roberts.

-Gareth has got a puzzle

-for our viewers tonight.

-How many triangles

-are on this image?

-Many viewers have been in touch with

-their answers to tonight's puzzle.

-Many of them are saying 10.

-It's time to head back to the

-National Library in Aberystwyth...

-..as they celebrate the work

-of photographer, Iestyn Hughes...

-..and his passion for Ceredigion.

-Welcome back to

-the National Library in Aberystwyth.

-The photographer, Iestyn Hughes

-is launching his photography book.

-The title of the book

-Ceredigion At My Feet.

-The photographer,

-Iestyn Hughes joins me now.

-I'm also joined by Elinor

-Wyn Reynolds from Gwasg Gomer.

-Why did you decide

-to publish this book?

-I worked at the library

-for many years.

-During my retirement,

-I was looking for something to do.

-I started taking photographs

-of this local area.

-I happened to meet Elinor

-and started talking to her...

-..and she asked me to combine my new

-love of photography with my old job.

-Why did you want to photograph

-this particular area?

-I lived in Aberystwyth for many

-years but I didn't know the county.

-I didn't want to concentrate

-on Aberystwyth alone...

-..as I wanted to get to know

-Ceredigion as a county.

-How long did it take you

-to photograph Ceredigion?

-Unfortunately, the harsh weather

-arrived when I started the work.

-We experienced months of rough

-weather followed by a harsh winter.

-Therefore, it's taken me three years

-to compile the photographs.

-What sort of images

-are included in the book?

-The images from the Library include

-old photographs and paintings.

-I wanted the public to see images

-from a primitive Welsh artist.

-This unnamed person

-was a naive artist around 1814.

-They captured all sorts of events

-that took place around the county.

-There are also photographs

-that are aesthetically pleasing...

-..or photographs that tell a story.

-Elinor, you've been pleased to see

-these stunning images.

-Iestyn's images are

-of a very high quality.

-It's an important book

-for our press...

-..as we're situated just

-across the border from Ceredigion.

-We wanted to release a book

-about Ceredigion's past and present.

-The book is jam-packed with all

-sorts of images and pieces of art.

-Iestyn worked in the archive and had

-access to this fantastic library.

-It was an opportunity

-that was too good to pass by.

-It was an opportunity

-that was too good to pass by.

-The book is certainly worth seeing.

-Tell us about the title and

-where you'll be signing the book.

-I'll be signing the book in the town

-on Saturday.

-The title of the book, At My Feet...

-..refers to what lays beneath

-my feet here in the library.

-Good luck

-with the launch of the book.

-Back to you in the studio.

-From the picturesque views

-of Ceredigion...

-..to your wonderful

-St David's Day photographs.

-If you don't see

-your photograph this evening...

-..there's more to come

-on tomorrow night's programme.

-# St David's little things

-# Not the sound of fire

-but the sound of chords

-# Not a large oak but small birds

-# Not the sun and moon

-# But the sparks of fire

-# But oh, what a hassle it is

-to try and find a sack

-# To keep all of the little things

-# St David's little things

-# The mouse but not the elephant

-# And the dew drops,

-not the water of the seas

-# But in the branches

-# Uproar is found

-# But oh, what a hassle it is

-to try and find a sack #

-Gareth posed a puzzle

-to our viewers tonight.
