-Hello and welcome

-to Tuesday's edition of Heno.

-It's a sad day following news

-of the attack in Manchester.

-Our thoughts and condolences are

-with those who have been affected...

-..and to the families of

-the victims at the concert.

-An hour-long Newyddion 9 will report

-from Manchester and Cardiff tonight.

-On tonight's Heno,

-we join Elin Fflur in Deiniolen.

-I'm at Ysgol Gwaun Gynfi in

-Deiniolen to hear about this book.

-It has songs and games for toddlers

-and was made in this school.

-You can hear about it shortly.

-I'm at the stables of Peter and

-Karen Bowen in Little Newcastle...

-..to meet one specific horse.

-Henllan Harri won one of the biggest

-races of the season a few weeks ago.

-This poster was auctioned

-in Colwyn Bay earlier...

-..by none other than the

-Pontardawe singer, Mary Hopkin.

-My guest is a superstar full-back

-from the 1950s with 21 Welsh caps.

-It's Terry Davies.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Tomorrow is a big night for you.

-My autobiography has been nominated

-for an award.

-It's nominated for

-Rugby Book of the Year.

-I hope my book wins.

-First, we head back to school.

-Ysgol Gwaun Gynfi in Deiniolen

-has worked hard over ten weeks...

-..to devise a book that'll help

-make learning fun and appealing.

-Elin joined the celebrations.

-At school, I loved learning tables,

-about history and vocabulary...

-..but I enjoyed singing

-and performing the most.

-Ysgol Gwaun Gynfi has a project

-that combines education at the arts.

-# One, two, three,

-place the colours on the floor

-# Turn around and around

-and we'll all jump up #

-We had a grant from the Arts Council

-of Wales for 10,000.

-We had to devise something

-creative with the children.

-We devised a new book that contains

-16 songs and an element of Maths.

-There's also a CD.

-In order to get the children

-speaking Welsh and in school...

-..we chose to do something fun

-which was playing games.

-# The three spiders

-are eating their tea #

-My role was to use drama,

-music and singing...

-..to create games that could be

-played indoors or outdoors...

-..that helped with their numeracy.

-These children are only

-three and four years old.

-Teaching Maths is difficult so we

-used size, colours and shapes.

-It's been a lot of fun.

-# Hello friends, hello, hello #

-It's been an important day in school

-so what have you been doing, Chloe?

-We did some singing, dancing and...

-..and, um some bouncing.

-What did you sing, Efa?

-What did you sing, Efa?

-

-Hello Friends.

-How did it go?

-# Hello friends, hello, hello

-# Hello friends, hello, hello #

-What did you enjoy today?

-What did you enjoy today?

-

-Singing.

-What did you enjoy singing, Jessica?

-What did you enjoy singing, Jessica?

-

-Um, the spider song.

-# The triangle is spinning #

-My son, Cynan

-was in the group today.

-I enjoyed watching them singing

-and having fun.

-Parents can take the CD

-and book home with them.

-They can play the CD in the car and

-play games at home and speak Welsh.

-Some lack confidence in speaking

-Welsh so we hope to change that.

-They learn through song...

-..and also do some counting, learn

-about colours and it's all fun.

-I never thought we could devise

-a book of this kind in our school...

-..or produce a CD

-in a period of ten weeks...

-..but we've done it and hope

-other schools can follow suit.

-Well done to Ysgol Gwaun Gynfi.

-We didn't see any sunshine

-in Llanelli today...

-..but the Bank Holiday weekend

-promises some camping weather.

-Our competition will prepare you

-for the last glorious days of May.

-Hello, I'm Steff the weatherman

-and it's glorious out here today.

-Summer is approaching

-and the days are longer.

-This prize is ideal for me and those

-who enjoy camping and the outdoors.

-There's everything from

-a sleeping bag to keep you warm...

-..and a camping mat

-to stay comfortable.

-There's something to keep the

-children quiet and the tent itself.

-You can dine on the barbecue

-and eat out of some fine crockery.

-That's the prize but my ice cream

-is melting so I need to eat it!

-My studio guest is one of finest

-Welsh rugby players of his time.

-He won 21 caps for Wales and

-beat the All Blacks with the Lions.

-These stories are now documented.

-His book, Terry Davies:

-Wales's First Superstar Fullback...

-..has reached the shortlist

-for Rugby Book of the Year.

-The ceremony is tomorrow, but Terry

-joins us before he heads to London.

-Welcome to Heno.

-Thank you.

-Tomorrow is a big night for you.

-You must be delighted to have

-reached the shortlist.

-It's a real honour

-to be shortlisted.

-The book has sold

-over 2,000 copies...

-..when it was first released.

-I think my family bought the lot!

-The foreword was written

-by Gareth Edwards.

-Gareth was the best player

-in the world.

-It was great for him to write

-the foreword to the book.

-You've been very honest in the book.

-I wanted the book to be honest.

-I wanted it to be

-about all the characters...

-..that I'd met in my life.

-The book has been well-received.

-There aren't many players

-from my era...

-..who are still alive.

-Did you keep a diary?

-I didn't keep any diaries.

-It was all written from memory.

-My daughter told me that I had

-to write a book.

-It was a wet week.

-I got out a tape recorder...

-..and spoke all about my life.

-You go back to the 1950s.

-Gareth Charles was on the sofa

-last night.

-He's going to be on The Lions Tour.

-Would you like to play rugby now?

-I'd like to have the money

-the players get today!

-It was only 50p a day!

-I had to stop work...

-..to go on the Lions tour.

-There are some wonderful photographs

-in the book.

-There's a great photograph of you

-and your brother.

-We didn't play together.

-I got the first cap.

-He got to play for Wales

-when I was injured.

-You're from Llanelli.

-The Scarlets are playing

-at the weekend.

-I'll be watching the team

-over the weekend.

-They are playing

-as we did in my era.

-Phil Bennett could play the game

-they played over the weekend.

-How many of you were fans

-of The Beatles?

-Today, a piece of The Beatles

-memorabilia went under the hammer.

-It was a poster from the early days.

-The seller was none-other-than

-the Pontardawe singer, Mary Hopkin.

-Let's see how much it made.

-It's our monthly auction.

-We hold them often in Colwyn Bay

-at Roger Jones & Co.

-We have one or two highlights...

-..especially a poster of The Beatles

-at the Odeon in Llandudno from 1963.

-The way that The Beatles

-is described is interesting...

-..as they are called a new band.

-They aren't highly-respected

-as they weren't famous in 1963!

-This item was given to our store

-in Cardiff...

-..from the family of Mary Hopkin.

-The family sent us the poster

-along with some of her clothes.

-Llandudno is closer to Colwyn Bay

-and more relevant to North Wales...

-should be sold in Colwyn Bay.

-My prediction was that it would sell

-for 10,000 to 15,000.

-Ben, my son in Cardiff,

-thought it would go for more.

-For the opening poster, 15,000.

-22,000.

-26,000.

-The price kept going up with bids

-online and over the phone.

-We usually achieve that price

-for a piece by Kyffin Williams...

-..but it's brilliant for a poster!

-28,000.

-On John's phone for 28,000.

-If I had to sum it up,

-I'd say fantastic!

-We had a lot of bids on the phone

-and bids from America.

-A buyer from America got it

-for 28,000 which is wonderful!

-That's incredible!

-Mary Hopkin fans will be interested

-to know that her family...

-..have put some of her clothes up

-for auction in Cardiff next month.

-Fans of The Beatles will want

-to know that the program...

-..from the gig at the Odeon in

-Llandudno and signed photograph...

-..has also been given to the team

-in Colwyn Bay.

-They go under the hammer

-over the coming month.

-After the break...

-..we chat to Myrddin ap Dafydd

-who is a Tir na n-Og Award finalist.

-We also hear the story

-of an amazing horse...

-biggest show jumping races.

-See you in a couple of minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Next, we hear of an Irish-born horse

-that was trained in Wales...

-..but won one of England's biggest

-show jumping events of the season.

-It's a remarkable story

-and we had to discover more.

-We sent Rhodri Gomer to

-Stablau Yet Y Rhug in Pembrokeshire.

-Some racehorse owners don't win a

-single race in their careers.

-When one of Einsley Harries horses

-won the famous Bet 365 Gold Cup...

-..it came as a surprise, despite

-only starting out seven years ago.

-I was nervous and had no idea why my

-horse was entered to the Gold Cup...

-..a race where larger horses had

-previously won in the past.

-It was known as the Whitbread Gold

-Cup, but has changed its name.

-I was happy to be included

-in the top six.

-I believed that he would do well

-as his weight was low.

-Dafydd was with me and we were

-just as nervous as each other.

-He had a big race in him, was clear

-out at front and jumped well.

-Many didn't believe that he would

-win, but we all had a shock.

-Einsley owns Henllan Harri, but

-he lives in Little Newcastle...

-..at the stables of

-Peter and Karen Bowen.

-They are credited with

-all his recent success.

-I own the horse, but all the work

-is done at Yet Y Rhug...

-..by Peter, Karen and

-all of the staff.

-They've cared for him and

-built him up.

-Peter is a wonderful trainer,

-he's a genius.

-It's one of the biggest races

-and it ends the season.

-Only good horses win races like that

-and could go to the Grand National.

-I always thought he'd do well

-in a race.

-He's had a few problems along the

-way, but he's improved this year.

-I would have been happy if he

-made it to the top six.

-I said to Peter

-it was fair do's to him.

-If he hasn't been for him,

-we wouldn't have won the race...

-..because I probably wouldn't have

-entered him for it.

-It was a memorable day for the

-family stables of Yet Y Rhug...

-..for more than one reason.

-Not only was it a huge race, but it

-was the last big race of the season.

-Our son, Sean was riding it,

-which made it extra special.

-That's what we all do it for

-and it's just amazing.

-Sean was a fantastic rider

-and he knew what the plan was.

-Peter and the crew are incredible.

-He led most of the way, but he

-almost lost on the finishing line.

-Oh, it's tight.

-When the race ended, I thought he'd

-won, but Peter didn't agree.

-Daryl Jacob, who came second thought

-he'd won, but Sean disagreed.

-The confirmation came

-from the photo finish.

-What are your future hopes

-for Henllan Harri?

-He's currently being rested and

-he'll start training next month...

-..and hope he does well at the

-Summer Nationals.

-He'll be rested again before

-the Becher Chase at Aintree.

-We'll have to wait and see what

-happens after that.

-What an extraordinary story

-and well done to Henllan Harri!

-The Urdd Eisteddfod

-arrives at Bridgend next Thursday.

-Two Welsh authors will be honoured

-in the Tir na n-Og award ceremony...

-..for best children's

-and young people's book.

-Five authors have been shortlisted

-and we'll meet each one this week.

-We started last night

-with Manon Steffan Ross...

-..and tonight,

-we meet Myrddin ap Dafydd.

-This is Tryweryn Reservoir.

-This is Tryweryn Reservoir.

-Everyone's familiar

-with the story of Tryweryn.

-I wanted to write about another area

-that was under threat from drowning.

-This was Gwendraeth Fach Valley

-in Carmarthenshire back in 1963.

-The difference between there and

-here is that they won the battle.

-Farmers and locals blocked entrances

-with metal and machinery...

-..to protect the land

-at Gwendraeth Fach Valley.

-The novel refers to Llangyndeyrn

-farms including a fictional one.

-It follows a family

-living at Dolffynnon Farm...

-..and their role in the protest

-and campaign from start to end.

-'And this is the dilemma that

-dominates the valley at the moment.'

-'How do you challenge officials from

-Swansea with the law on their side?'

-'If these officials enter our land

-and carry out their work...

-'..that will be the end of us, as

-Jac Coed-y-cadno said last night.'

-'It'll be like Tryweryn.

-That's the mistake they made there.'

-The story really spoke to me.

-I touched on local history with

-the Rebecca Rioters and Gwenllian.

-We're not very good

-at remembering our past.

-I hope the story of Gwendraeth Fach

-becomes as significant as Tryweryn.

-It has a cause for celebration

-and a memorial stone marks this.

-'A large grey envelope sits on

-the kitchen table in the morning.'

-'It's labelled with the important

-words, On Her Majesty's Service.'

-'Mam has opened it carefully

-with a knife...

-'..and the official letter's

-been read and re-read by all of us.'

-The novel's target audience

-is eleven to fourteen year olds.

-It's an honour that my debut novel

-has been shortlisted at the Urdd.

-I hope the readers feel inspired

-by the story of Gwendraeth Fach...

-..in the same way I was inspired.

-Tomorrow, Meinir Edwards tells us

-about her book, Deg Chwedl O Gymru.

-The former Welsh rugby sensation,

-Terry Davies has been my guest.

-The Lions tour starts next week.

-How was it in New Zealand

-at the end of the 1950s?

-When I was in New Zealand...

-..there was about 5,000 people

-in the airport...

-..waiting for us to arrive.

-We went into Auckland

-in vintage cars.

-The roads were lined with people.

-I couldn't believe it.

-I felt like a Hollywood film star!

-I'd never seen so many people.

-Let's hope this year's Lions have

-the same reception.

-Thank you, Terry.

-Join Rhodri and me for tomorrow's

-Heno at Galeri, Caernarfon.

-It's goodnight from me, Terry

-and the Tuesday team in Llanelli.

-Enjoy the rest of your evening.

-.
