0:08:29 > 0:08:33- It was a longer process than Lydia.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- My doctor didn't think - I had Type 1 diabetes.
0:08:50 > 0:08:56- I saw another doctor and was sent - straight to hospital.
0:08:57 > 0:09:02- I knew something was wrong.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- I didn't want Llew to worry.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13- He's my only child...
0:09:18 > 0:09:23- ..so I thought I was being - a bit over cautious.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37- I'm glad that we didn't do nothing - after the first consultation.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- The test took a matter of seconds.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01- Can people with diabetes give blood?
0:12:01 > 0:12:06- No, we can't.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- I try to give blood.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- It's very important to do so.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06- We can't use them in school.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12- Children lose them and they get hurt - so they have been banned.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18- Some children play with them during - lessons instead of working...
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- ..so Miss tells us to keep them - in our bags until we get home.

0:17:27 > 0:17:32- ..and their plans to start making - Nantgarw porcelain again.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- Yes, both Llanelli and Swansea...
0:17:40 > 0:17:46- ..are world-famous for producing - Welsh crockery in their potteries...
0:17:47 > 0:17:53- ..but Nantgarw is the place - that is synonymous with porcelain.
0:17:56 > 0:18:01- This is the only remaining original - pottery from that golden era...
0:18:02 > 0:18:07- ..that is still standing in Wales - and the whole of Britain.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14- William Billingsley was the man who - was responsible for Nantgarw.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- He first came here in 1813 - and failed.
0:18:19 > 0:18:25- After his losses, he was persuaded - to take his talent to Swansea...
0:18:25 > 0:18:31- ..but was fed up with the place by - 1817 and so he returned to Nantgarw.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36- In Nantgarw 200 years ago, - Billingsley created the pottery...
0:18:37 > 0:18:42- ..that is recognized as the - best pottery in the western world.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- The location of Nantgarw - was perfect.
0:18:48 > 0:18:54- It was on the Glamorganshire Canal - that ran from Merthyr to Cardiff.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59- It was ideal for importing goods - and exporting produce.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- It had a workforce, coal - and everything they needed.
0:19:05 > 0:19:11- Many factories knew how to make - porcelain but he added something.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- It was in a hidden room - in the cellar beneath us...
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- ..that he would experiment - and fire his creations.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29- Billingsley died - and took his secret with him!
0:19:30 > 0:19:36- For those short few years, the - pottery he produced at Nantgarw...
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- ..was the whitest - and most translucent pottery.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- I didn't call it the best porcelain - in the world...
0:19:45 > 0:19:50- ..but that came from Henry Sandon - from the Antiques Roadshow.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56- He said that Nantgarw porcelain - is the finest porcelain ever made.
0:19:57 > 0:20:02- It's totally translucent, - white and ideal for painting.
0:20:02 > 0:20:08- You can see a light shining through - it and it's extremely beautiful.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19- Less than 10% of what went into - the kilns came out in one piece.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- It caused massive losses - and the business failed as a result.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- Billingsley was left bankrupt - and was forced to move away.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- It's the intricacy of the crockery - and rarity...
0:20:36 > 0:20:41- ..mean that it's incredibly - collectible and very expensive.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49- The golden era passed in the wink - of an eye but the pottery survived.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- It hosts five courses a week, - talented resident artists...
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- ..and incredible pieces - are created and exhibited here.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- The long-term plan is to expand - and create a new centre.
0:21:05 > 0:21:11- First, they must solve and take - advantage of Billingsley's secret.
0:21:11 > 0:21:17- After many years of research, we - think we've discovered the secret...
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- ..of William Billingsley's recipe - from 200 years ago.
0:21:22 > 0:21:28- If we can collect enough funds, - we hope to recreate that porcelain.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- The scheme will cost 15,000.
0:21:31 > 0:21:37- Thanks to the invaluable support - of the Art Fund...
