0:03:23 > 0:03:25- It's incredible.
0:03:26 > 0:03:35- Let's hear more about - the inspiration behind the Chair.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- This is where Dic and his family - were educated.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- The Chair was designed - and produced...
0:03:49 > 0:03:54- ..in the workshop where the - Yr Hendre family was educated.
0:03:55 > 0:04:01- The Chair was inspired by the Chair - of the 1966 Eisteddfod in Aberafon.
0:04:02 > 0:04:10- Dic didn't like fuss and this - is reflected in the Chair's design.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18- I'm glad that we asked Emyr from - Ysgol Aberteifi to make the Chair.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25- He didn't think twice - before agreeing to make it.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- It turned out to be more personal - than I expected.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- I worked closely with Jean - and the family.
0:04:33 > 0:04:39- The Aberafon Chair had a lot of - leather so this one has leather too.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- It's made from black walnut...
0:04:42 > 0:04:50- ..with bronze cast into it for the - name and symbol of the Eisteddfod.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- I visited him to see - how the Chair was progressing.
0:04:55 > 0:05:02- One night, it had been assembled and - it looked like an Eisteddfod Chair.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- The school's ties with Dic Jones - and this new Eisteddfod Chair...
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- ..was marked with a mural by the - Northwalian artist, Dafydd Roberts.
0:05:18 > 0:05:24- The mural contains excerpts - from the poem, Y Cynhaeaf...
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- ..and images associated - with the harvest...
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- ..and the importance of the role of - the farmer.
0:05:33 > 0:05:38- "Whilst there's humanity, - there will always be farming."
0:05:38 > 0:05:44- It's important to have this mural - as Dic Jones came to our school...
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- ..and this is where he learnt - to write his poems.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54- It's beautiful, modern, bright, - lovely and important for our school.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- We'll remember it when we're older - and return to the school.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- One of us might learn to write - poetry and have a mural ourselves.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12- The mural is a visual reminder - and better than a plaque.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- It's a real inspiration - for anyone who sees it.
0:06:17 > 0:06:23- They'll think of Dic winning - at the Aberafon Eisteddfod in 1966.
0:06:24 > 0:06:33- They had the vision to do this - and the family treasure it.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39- I'm sure Dic would love this Chair - that was made in his hometown.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44- Dic would have loved its simplicity - and it truly speaks to you.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- It was great to see it - coming together.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- The finishing touches - brought the Chair to life...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- ..and the wood truly shone.
0:06:56 > 0:07:01- I hope it does that on the stage - during the Eisteddfod week.
0:07:09 > 0:07:19- Emyr Garnon James - has made an impressive Chair.
0:07:22 > 0:07:30- He was a former tutor of mine.

0:19:07 > 0:19:16- She could see the cot was shaking.

0:19:43 > 0:19:49- Seren has already undergone surgery - that hasn't made a great difference.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- More major surgery - lies ahead of Seren...
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- ..and this time - they'll operate deeper in her brain.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- The surgery is similar - to her previous treatment.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- But back in February wires were - inserted deep into her brain...
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- ..to give a clearer insight - of what areas are operable.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- The condition has certainly - affected family life...
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- ..but Seren - takes everything in her stride.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- She's very determined.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- Following each surgery, - she seems to bounce back.
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- She pushes herself - and if anything we have to pace her.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48- Seren adores Ilan, her 12 year old - brother and the feeling is mutual.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- He's a blessing for everyone.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- He's had to deal with a lot.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00- Seren will have seizures in the - morning and Hefin is in work...
0:21:01 > 0:21:07- ..so Ilan has to hold Seren whilst - I administer emergency medication.

0:21:12 > 0:21:18- Once we deal with everything, - Ilan jumps on the school bus.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- It's a massive worry...

0:22:30 > 0:22:33- I know she's there for us - if we need her.
