-Welcome back.

-Social media plays an integral part

-in any successful business.

-How many of your videos or photos on

-Facebook or Twitter have gone viral?

-A Gwynedd family did this by taking

-advantage of the lambing season...

-..to promote their business

-and lifestyle.

-Agriculture is important and Wales

-has farms is every nook and cranny.

-Six to seven million lambs

-are born in Wales every year.

-It means that there are more sheep

-than people in Wales!

-But the most famous lamb of all

-lives here in Pencaenewydd.

-Dafydd and his family own a farm and

-holiday let in this part of Gwynedd.

-We all know that the Internet

-is too slow in the countryside...

-..and this was true for Dafydd

-and his family until recently.

-After getting the

-high speed Internet connection...

-for the cottage's Facebook page.

-I was experimenting and spotted the

-ducks stealing food from the ram.

-I made a video, uploaded it

-to Facebook and it had 900 views.

-The second was a sheep cleaning

-her lamb that had just been born...

-..and 3,000 people

-watched that video.

-As the week progressed,

-I wanted to go one better.

-I captured the real-life birth of a

-lamb and 13,000 people watched it.

-It was great and thought it would

-attract more to the holiday let.

-Dafydd and his wife, Dona...

-..have two children

-who love helping on the farm.

-They are delighted

-I'm proud it started small

-but is now popular on the Internet.

-I couldn't believe my eyes

-when I saw it had 13,000 views!

-Our lamb was very famous

-and I'm delighted.

-You had an important job, Carla.

-Yes, I named the lamb

-that had been born.

-I chose the name Seren

-because I like it.

-It means star

-and she's a star of the Internet!

-You've got a high speed connection

-so how has that changed your life?

-It's helped a lot with my homework

-and for playing games.

-The Internet is an important

-resource for any business...

-..and is integral for those people

-who visit the family.

-Our visitors come

-from different places.

-The current guests

-are from Derbyshire...

-..but we've also welcomed guests

-from Liverpool and Cornwall.

-People play games on the television

-or download films.

-Others avoid the Internet and relax

-in the hot tub with some Prosecco!

-That sounds just up my street.

-The family uploads the videos

-but Dona is the camerawoman!

-Yes, and I also upload pictures

-from when it's been snowing...

-..and they are very popular too.

-What will the next video be?

-I've got no idea as it depends on

-what happens on that day or second.

-Goodness knows what it will be.

-What would you like, children?

-Me playing football.

-Me playing football.

-

-And me dancing.

-Do you think

-it will attract visitors?

-Yes, I'm sure it would.

-Good luck to them.

-Followers of the Heno social media

-sites will have seen our archives.

-This week's theme is Welsh comics.

-Let's see a clip of an item

-from Wedi 7 back in June 2007.

-The first edition of Yr Hebog

-was published in April 1968.

-It was edited by Gerallt Lloyd Owen

-and 4,000 copies were distributed.

-The cowboy Jess Malone,

-Sarjant Bebb the soldier...

-..and Detective Dai Prydderch became

-the heroes to the lads of Wales.

-Gerallt Lloyd Owen also published

-Llinos for girls in 1972.

-The back cover always featured

-sketches of Welsh 1970s pin-ups.

-Sboncyn was published in May 1980

-and 6,500 copies were distributed.

-Syr-Preis, Wini Wirion and Capten

-Penwaig were its main characters.

-The first edition of Penbwl

-came in 1988...

-..and had international characters

-of The Smurfs and Fireman Sam.

-Today, the Welsh monthly comic

-is Wcw.

-You can view the entire item on the

-Heno S4C Facebook and YouTube pages.

-The Easter weekend

-is a busy time for us all...

-..but it's important to remember

-the true meaning of the celebration.

-Llangefni's Cildwrn Chapel

-is holding an Easter service...

-..and opens its doors

-following a transformation.

-an incredibly interesting chapel.

-It dates from the late 1800s and

-was the first Baptist chapel here.

-It's an example of a simple

-meeting house.

-Unlike churches, Nonconformists

-prefer to keep things simple.

-doesn't suggest that it's a chapel.

-The house is to the left,

-the chapel is on the right...

-..and we're sitting in the gallery

-that holds 200 people.

-This chapel is famous for its ties

-with Christmas Evans...

-..who was a legendary

-Baptist minister.

-Christmas was from South-West Wales

-but moved to the Lleyn Peninsula.

-He was born on Christmas Day and

-moved here on Christmas Day too.

-His expertise was in the way

-he could communicate.

-Llangefni was home

-to two amazing ministers.

-John Elias was more of a philosopher

-and Christmas Evans was lively.

-He established many Baptist chapels

-across the island.

-He was an incredible character.

-Old buildings

-take a lot of maintenance.

-Many chapels

-are closing across Wales.

-It's thanks to the generosity

-of the HLF, CADW and Pantyfedwen...

-..that we were able

-to employ architectural experts.

-It's taken six months...

-..and we had the use of Lon-y-Felin

-and Smyrna chapels for our services.

-This weekend sees us celebrate

-new life in the resurrection...

-..so we return to this chapel for a

-service at 10.00am on Good Friday.

-On Saturday, we have an open day

-so that everyone can see our chapel.

-On Sunday, Reverend Meirion Morris

-is preaching at 10.00am...

-..and I'll be back at the helm

-of Cildwrn at 6.00pm.

-Pop over and enjoy

-the weekend activities.

-outside with a camera or phone...

-..and enter our spring

-photography competition.

-Nature springs to life,

-the days are getting longer...

-..the flowers are in bloom,

-leaves fill the trees...
