-We also welcome our guest,

-Trystan Ellis-Morris.

-Trystan, you've had a busy summer

-touring the Eisteddfods.

-Yes, it's been hectic.

-I also had three weeks in Canada!

-You're now cosying up near the

-fire in your new series Perthyn.

-I get to meet families

-and relatives around Wales.

-I look forward to our chat shortly.

-Rhodri takes a look around one of

-Aberystwyth's grandest buildings...

-..that's recently been transformed

-into accommodation for visitors.

-Ben Woodburn might be Wales'

-new footballing star...

-..but there's another rising star

-who's currently making his mark.

-Tonight, we'll hear about

-Mael Davies from the Swansea club.

-Yvonne samples the latest delicacies

-at the RSPB Centre in Newport.

-The cafe recently won a gold award

-for their fresh and local produce.

-It's only September but it's time

-to start thinking about Christmas...

-..and our Christmas

-Carol Competition!

-Christmas is just around the corner,

-Trystan.

-It's never too soon!

-Trystan has a new series on S4C

-called Perthyn.

-Tell us more about the series.

-In the new series, Perthyn,

-I meet pairs of relatives.

-In the recent episode...

-..we visited the father and son,

-artists Aneurin and Meirion Jones.

-I've filmed with fathers and sons

-and grandchildren and daughters.

-It was great to spend time with

-Meirion.

-We visited the place

-that inspires him to paint.

-We've met the farmer and tenor,

-Trebor Jones and his grandsons.

-Let's see a clip of the programme,

-Perthyn.

-I'm very proud of them.

-They get involved

-with local movements.

-We sing a few melodies.

-Trebor lives close to his grandsons.

-His farm looks down on their home.

-He offers a word of advice.

-Their relationship is special.

-I discovered how my relationship...

-..differs with my parents.

-My sister's relationship differs

-too.

-We also meet other relatives in the

-series.

-We meet successful business

-siblings.

-We meet the opera singer, Fflur

-Wyn and her father, Rev Eirian Wyn.

-Relationships are different

-in every family.

-It was a great week to spend

-with Meirion and Aneurin.

-Edleston House is one of the most

-important buildings in Aberystwyth.

-The grand building

-was built over 150 years ago.

-It's housed a lot of things

-in its time...

-..but it has been renovated and has

-reopened as luxury holiday flats.

-Rhodri went to see it.

-Believe it or not, over the decades,

-these rooms housed a surgery...

-..a consulting room

-and a nursing home.

-It's also been the Royal Commission

-including a court...

-..equipped with a cell to hold

-the town's perpetrators.

-But it was actually an act of

-goodwill that saved Edleston House.

-The local businessman, Emyr Davies

-purchased this gem from the council.

-I already had three hotels

-in Aberystwyth.

-This place came on the market...

-..and I thought it would be ideal

-for holiday apartments.

-The building currently contains

-five holiday apartments.

-The biggest one has three bedrooms

-and there are kitchens and ensuites.

-Extras include a Jacuzzi

-and a splendid garden.

-But the selling point

-is actually its past.

-The date of the building

-is on the house and it's 1898.

-It was built by Dr John Bonsall,

-a member of a prominent family.

-This was his home and surgery.

-It developed into a nursing home.

-Following this,

-it was used as a county court.

-But then the place

-fell into disrepute.

-The garden grew wild

-and the ironwork started to rust.

-It was in a very sorry state.

-Yes, indeed, the ironwork.

-One of the striking features of the

-building is the balcony or veranda.

-It's reminiscent

-of the old colonies.

-They are more common in Australia,

-New Zealand or New Orleans.

-You think of the American colonies

-in Maryland and Carolina...

-..and places associated

-with Gone With The Wind.

-I'd like to think that

-it was made in Aberystwyth.

-Aberystwyth had many ironworks that

-exported produce across the world.

-This is a wonderful example

-of the work they could produce.

-It's a Grade II listed building...

-..so any renovation work

-had to follow strict guidelines.

-The place was in disrepair

-after being closed for five years.

-We used a sandblaster

-on the front railings...

-..and it needed six coats of paint.

-We couldn't change the windows

-but had to repair them.

-Things were recreated

-to how they were in the past.

-You never know what to expect

-at a listed building...

-..until you start the process.

-The building needed new architraves,

-doors and windows.

-They all had to match

-the original features.

-This is the original staircase

-of the building...

-..and I think it looks great

-after its renovation.

-Aberystwyth is improving as a town

-and enticing more visitors.

-It's great to have some luxury in

-Aberystwyth in a renovated site.

-Every time I walk or drive passed

-this building...

-..I'll smile as I know I was part

-of the project to renovate it.

-It's competition time!

-This week, we're giving you the

-chance to win an iPad or television.

-We want to boost your spirits

-at the start of September.

-Before we set tonight's question...

-..congratulations to

-Mair Phillips from Whitland.

-on its way to you!

-..to congratulate the award-winning

-We also meet the footballer from

-Newcastle Emlyn, Mael Davies...

-..who's the new talents

-of the Swansea City Football Club.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-.

-Welcome back.

-It's been an important week

-in the history of Welsh football.

-They've had two important victories

-against Austria and Moldova.

-The young player, Ben Woodburn

-has also made quite an impression.

-Wales' talent factory

-is working overtime at the moment...

-..as there's another young player

-who's ready to make his mark.

-Mael Davies from Newcastle Emlyn...

-..has just signed his first

-professional contract with Swansea.

-Rhodri Gomer

-went to meet him for a chat.

-Since Mael Davies joined

-the Swansea City Academy aged 15...

-..he's developed to be a fantastic

-defender for the Swans' Youth teams.

-His performances for the under 18s

-team over the past seasons...

-..has led to a new contract for the

-18-year-old from Newcastle Emlyn.

-He now trains and plays

-with the under 23s squad.

-I was told about the contract

-in January and it started on 1 June.

-Since then, we've been training

-in Northern Ireland...

-..and I've played two games

-during this new season.

-The intensity is much more

-and everything is quicker.

-You have to think quickly

-when the ball is at your feet.

-He's very professional,

-works hard...

-..and he gets on well

-with the coaches and other players.

-He gives 100 percent on the field

-during every game.

-We have to be patient as he's young

-but he's a very special talent.

-When someone is willing to work with

-others, they have a good chance.

-I started playing with Newcastle

-Emlyn when I was five years old.

-I was signed by Cardiff City

-when I was nine years old.

-Swansea recruited me when I played

-for the Under 16s team.

-I gaining a scholarship and

-lived in Swansea for two years.

-I'm now on

-my first professional year.

-Mael has quickly settled into

-his new environment at Fairwood.

-Every building is new,

-the pitches have been improved...

-..and they've invested heavily

-in the facilities.

-The first team is training now.

-Do you have the opportunity

-to mix with the first team?

-We interact often during

-our lunch times and gym sessions.

-Last week, we played against

-an 11 a side game against them.

-I was chuffed that we drew nil-nil

-and that nobody passed me.

-When playing on this PL2

-or the Premier League 2 level...

-..against teams

-like Manchester United...

-..the aim of these players is to

-catch the eye of the firsts manager.

-Paul Clement will be aware of all

-the players including Mael Davies.

-The academy's job

-is to feed the first team.

-We must get our players

-into the first team...

-..and develop players

-that can play professionally.

-Mael needs to get up to speed with

-the way we do things and the pace.

-It's a big test

-in the first three months.

-We'd like him to push

-for inclusion in that squad.

-He needs to push for a starting

-place in the competitions we have.

-What would you like to achieve

-during your footballing career?

-I'd like to train with the firsts

-and play in the Premier League.

-My dream is to play for Wales but

-I have to take one step at a time.

-All the best to Mael.

-Next, we take a spin down the M4 to

-the RSPB Wetlands Centre in Newport.

-It's famous for its wildlife...

-..but its cafe has recently won a

-gold award for using local produce.

-Yvonne went to congratulate them.

-I've come to a wonderful location

-that's surrounded by nature.

-The Newport Wetlands is a stone's

-throw away from the city centre...

-..and it's situated between

-the River Severn and River Usk.

-It's home to interesting wildlife

-and stunning river landscapes.

-Welcome to Newport Wetlands' centre

-that's been here for nine years.

-Every year, we welcome

-100,000 people to the centre.

-We're very busy at the centre that's

-at the heart of the nature reserve.

-As you can see, we're surrounded

-by several reed beds.

-The reed beds and their wildlife

-are our main attractions.

-It isn't just the wildlife

-that attracts visitors...

-..but also the produce

-that's served in the cafe.

-And there's a reason to celebrate.

-Congratulations to the staff...

-..for winning the gold award

-for the produce served at the cafe.

-What did you need to do

-to be awarded the accolade?

-We're proud to have been awarded by

-the Soil Association Food for Life.

-The team has worked hard to ensure

-that three-quarters of our menu...

-..is freshly prepared here

-or locally.

-At least 15 percent of our produce

-must also be organic and local.

-The response has been very positive.

-Yes, people enjoy the food

-that we serve at the cafe.

-Those who visit want to see

-Welsh produce on the menu.

-Myself and my staff worked

-really hard to make the contacts...

-..and to be able to sell ethically

-and locally produced foods.

-Over time, people have forgotten

-where their food comes from.

-They don't know that local farmers

-produce food of a high quality.

-They also forget about how

-food production affects wildlife.

-We no longer sell produce

-with palm oil...

-..as its production has detrimental

-affects on tropical rainforests.

-We're using butter

-instead of palm oil.

-We like to educate people

-when we sell them our food.

-It's no wonder

-that you've won this award...

-..as the food looks

-mouth-wateringly good.

-Tell us about this meal.

-These flapjacks and biscuits

-are from a Cardiff-based company.

-The bara brith is from Ebbw Vale...

-..and the Welsh cakes

-are from Cross Hands.

-This delicious open sandwich is

-made on-site using local produce.

-Would you like a Welsh cake?

-Would you like a Welsh cake?

-

-Thank you.

-Oh, fantastic.

-Congratulations to you all for

-being honoured with this award.

-Thank you.

-Let's talk about Christmas.

-There's only three months

-until the big day...

-..and Prynhawn Da's Christmas Carol

-Competition for primary schools.

-There's lots of preparation work

-involved in this competition.

-Last year, Ysgol Llwynderw

-in Swansea won the coveted prize...

-..and here are the judges to launch

-this year's competition.

-The Christmas Carol Competition

-is back!

-You can showcase your creative

-talents by pleasing our judges...

-..Steffan Rhys Hughes

-with so much scope.

-We're looking

-..but there are so many themes

-and musical styles you could follow.

-We welcome any kind

-of Christmas carol or song.

-# The melody of the chiming bells #

-The melody should memorable

-and something we want to sing.

-The lyrics are important and the

-way they marry with the melody.

-You could use the talents

-in the school too.

-Parents who compose music or poetry

-could run workshops in the school...

-..so that the children

-feel totally involved.

-# We'll all unite to celebrate #

-We want to hear the children's

-enjoyment in the song or carol.

-I'm sure we'll enjoy it more

-if they are enjoying themselves.
