-Hello and welcome to Llanelli

-for your Tuesday edition of Heno.

-My studio guest

-is Elinor Wyn Reynolds.

-She's just published

-not one, but two books...

-..that will be very useful

-for those preparing to get married.

-Welcome to the programme, Elinor.

-Thank you.

-I got married in February...

-..and wish that I'd had the

-next two books we're discussing.

-I didn't time it very well.

-I've been working on the book

-for a few months.

-It was launched at the Eisteddfod.

-The books are selling well.

-Both books complement each other.

-I wanted to write

-Llyfr Bach Priodas...

-..with twelve poems

-and twelve stories.

-The poems can be used

-during your wedding.

-The stories are about weddings

-and how people met.

-There's also an array

-of photographs.

-The photographs show how weddings

-have changed.

-Weddings have changed so much.

-It's amazing, the changes.

-There are weddings

-from all backgrounds...

-..and all parts of Wales.

-Every wedding is different.

-You put your own stamp

-on your wedding.

-The photos are also very different.

-These weddings

-have an array of love.

-In the past,

-the weddings were very formal.

-We've seen photographs

-of the bride taking a selfie.

-There's also photographs...

-..where the people

-are in starched suits!

-We see weddings from the towns

-and the countryside.

-You have also brought

-some personal items.

-The outfits are very personal to me.

-I got married in the black dress.

-I wanted something

-that I could wear again.

-I wore it to my mother's funeral.

-My father and husband

-both did the same.

-It was designed by Heulwen Reynolds.

-She's from Pembrokeshire.

-The white dress was my mother's

-wedding dress from 1969.

-The clothes reflect their eras.

-Huw fash made my dress.

-I wouldn't expect any less from

-you, Sian!

-There's poems by some great poets.

-They are easy to read.

-They talk about love...

-..and the future.

-It's all about our hopes

-for the wedding.

-Ceri Wyn Jones and Mererid Hopwood

-have poems in the book.

-People were always phoning

-the Gwasg Gomer Press.

-Thank you, Elinor.

-Last week, our crew was roaming

-the Maes in Abergavenny...

-..taking your photograph

-to upload to our social media pages.

-You can follow Heno and Prynhawn Da

-on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

-The sites contain highlights

-from our programmes and a lot more.

-Let's take a look

-at some of your photographs.

-If you didn't spot your picture

-this time, don't worry...

-..we'll have more of your

-photographs over the coming week.

-If you saw yourself or someone you

-know, make sure you tag and share!

-On Friday,

-we launch a competition...

-..to win one of the most fashionable

-devices of the summer.

-Rhodri and Llinos will

-have all the details on Friday.

-Next year marks the centenary of the

-death of Hedd Wyn in the Great War.

-His home of Yr Ysgwrn in Trawsfynydd

-attracted thousands of visitors...

-..who were welcomed by

-Hedd Wyn's nephew, Gerald Williams.

-Yr Ysgwrn is now owned

-by the Snowdonia National Park.

-Let's see what's been happening and

-you're invited to see the new work.

-We're currently in the middle

-of the building work at Yr Ysgwrn.

-As you can see, the old cowshed

-behind me, is being renovated.

-When it's finished, it'll be the

-new visitors centre at Yr Ysgwrn.

-It's where people will be welcomed,

-can buy tickets, visit the cafe...

-..and view the wonderful exhibition

-that will be in place.

-It's currently a busy and messy

-building site but is very exciting.

-This is the biggest change

-I've seen Yr Ysgwrn all my life.

-I lived at Yr Ysgwrn

-for about 80 years or more.

-I'm not revealing

-anything else to you!

-In the past, there wasn't a shed

-so my grandfather and uncle...

-..dug out a shed

-using a pick and shovel.

-Today, a dream machine

-is doing the same job.

-There's an open day at Yr Ysgwrn

-on Saturday 13 August.

-All are welcome

-to view these developments...

-..but we ask that you

-book a place beforehand...

-..by calling Jess or Sian

-in our office on 01766 770 274.

-Call 01766 770 274 to organize

-a visit to Yr Ysgwrn on 13 August.

-I never thought

-that I would be the president.

-this event.

-You show doves.

-I had some success

-with the doves at a local show.

-If I'd known they had doves

-at this event...

-..I would have brought them!

-Last year was my first year

-of showing...

-..and I came away with a ribbon

-and cup.

-I love them but my wife

-doesn't like them.

-When I was a young man, I wasn't

-allowed to have any pets...

-..but I had my doves.

-When we moved house, I returned to

-my love of keeping doves.

-It's great to be here.

-I get to see people from my past.

-They were here until midnight last

-night.

-They are using local produce.

-Any secrets from the night?

-What would you like to know?

-It's great to have

-the local people here.

-I hope to go around the show

-tomorrow.

-You deserve to enjoy it!

-This is always a great event.

-One woman from Brecon certainly won

-the hearts of the nation last week.

-On the National Eisteddfod stage

-in Abergavenny...

-..Helena Jones competed in the

-over-16s recitation competition...

-..at the ripe old age of 99!

-Dafydd Wyn caught up with her.

-"Will you accept Wales?

-"Will you accept the world

-and all its wonders?"

-I've been reciting the piece

-called A Gymri Di Gymru?

-There were eight competitors.

-I like competing and standing on a

-stage with the audience listening.

-They listen to you

-and hang on your every word.

-"Will you accept the people from

-the kindest nation of the world?"

-Someone remembered your performance

-so you made quite an impression.

-Do you usually compete

-at the Eisteddfod?

-I've competed in Eisteddfodau

-all my life.

-The Eisteddfod is important to me...

-..and it helps children to stand up

-straight and project your voice.

-Helena enjoys competing at the

-Eisteddfod and has had success too.

-When her children were young, they

-wanted her to prove she could win...

-..so she cycled 30 miles

-to the nearest Eisteddfod...

-..competed, won and cycled home to

-show them her prize before bedtime.

-Is that true?

-You cycled 60 miles

-to show that you'd won!

-Helena learnt Welsh in Brecon...

-..and used her Eisteddfod experience

-to coach local children.

-She's very active with the Women's

-Institute, Young Farmers' Club...

-..and many other groups.

-Welsh is important and you won

-a special award at the Eisteddfod.

-It's for working with the Eisteddfod

-for 70 years.

-It's just a small award!

-I'm very proud of it.

-At the end of August,

-Helena turns 100 years old.

-During the competition results,

-everyone sang in the Pavilion.

-# Happy birthday to Helena #

-I won't compete again.

-This was my last time

-because I'm too old now.

-You could win next year

-and win when you're 100!

-Winning doesn't matter to me.

-The Eisteddfod in Abergavenny

-has been very important to you.

-Yes, and I've enjoyed every minute

-of it until now!

-I've thoroughly enjoyed

-chatting with you.

-I look forward to seeing you

-compete next year at the age of 100!

-"Will you accept the Eisteddfod

-and all the rain?

-"Will you accept Wales

-whatever comes along?"

-Congratulations to Helena.

-That's the spirit of the Eisteddfod.

-We should compete

-when we're both 100!

-She said that it isn't

-about the winning.

-Congratulations to your

-sister-in-law.

-Yes, she was in the final five for

-the Welsh Learner of the Year.

-She's a winner in our hearts!

-She is going to be writing

-a book about Welsh learners.

-I can't wait to see that book.

-Elinor has penned two books

-for those getting married.

-Llyfr Nodiadau Priodas costs 6.99,

-also from Gwasg Gomer.

-The note book is empty.

-You can have one in your bag...

-..to write down any ideas.

-You could use it a guest book too.

-Guests can also write in it

-on your weddings.

-It's also got some lovely

-illustrations.

-You can give them for a wedding or

-an anniversary.

-Thank you, Elinor.

-That's all for this evening,

-but Heno is back tomorrow night.

-Elin is joined in the studio

-by the Chief Bard, Aneirin Karadog.

-We'll return to the Eisteddfod Maes

-to speak with Ffion Hague.

-There's also more

-from the Anglesey Show with Gerallt.

-Until tomorrow, goodnight.
