0:13:50 > 0:13:56- This might be a stupid question - but that calf looks a bit pink.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Is it meant to be pink?
0:13:59 > 0:14:03- People ask that a lot but it's - been clipped closely to the skin.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- It's fur has been clipped - closely to the skin.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08- Is that like the hair clippers?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Is that like the hair clippers?- - Yes, that's right.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- There isn't a lot of fur - so it's very soft.
0:14:14 > 0:14:20- We let the fur grow - and clip them before every show.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- I've learnt something new - in that conversation.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- What have you been doing here today, - Anwen?
0:14:32 > 0:14:37- I'm exhibiting cattle from Gelli - Gatrog Farm in Carmarthenshire.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- And this is... um... - a cow, obviously!
0:14:41 > 0:14:42- Does it have a name?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- Yes, it's Bolton Jingles.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- It's father was called Bolton - and Jingles was its mother.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Oh, so that's a type of cow - but does it have a specific name?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Yes, Bolton Jingles.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Alright!
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- It's dripping a lot - so is that normal?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Yes, it's because - she's full of milk.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Do you need someone to milk her?
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- No, not after she's entered into - the class and then she's milked.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13- Do you do any milking?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Sometimes.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Hello, Simon.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- What have you been doing here today?
0:15:23 > 0:15:28- I've been exhibiting Holstein cattle - and had some heifers this morning.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33- We won with our senior heifer - so I'm happy with that.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- My second, third and fourth calves - are competing this afternoon.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Good luck!
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- I'm a townie so do you think - I'm dressed appropriately?
0:15:43 > 0:15:49- The wellies are fine but have some - leggings to help me wash the cattle.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Why are they wet?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- It's after washing - the cattle earlier.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- Phew, I thought it was - something else!
0:16:00 > 0:16:05- I've had a great time at the - Welsh Dairy Show and learnt a lot.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- I know the difference between - a Holstein Friesian and a Jersey...
0:16:10 > 0:16:15- ..so if you're looking - for a farmhand, then I'm your man!
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Isn't that right?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Yes!
0:16:20 > 0:16:26- And that was Alun's interpretation - of the Welsh Dairy Show!
0:16:26 > 0:16:32- The presenter and actress, - Lara Catrin is my guest tonight.
0:16:32 > 0:16:40- Lara has published a new book - called Llyfr Bach Paris.
0:16:40 > 0:16:46- You've been back in Wales - for a year.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51- You're from Y Felinheli.
0:16:52 > 0:17:03- Yes, and I was offered a great job - when I got back.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- I'm presenting a great series.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Tell us more about the programme.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15- It's called Pwy Geith Y Gig?
0:17:15 > 0:17:23- It's a series about forming a band.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- They get to work with some - of the greatest people...
0:17:28 > 0:17:33- ..in the music industry in Wales.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- We had four judges.
0:17:38 > 0:17:46- They had to choose the finalists.
0:17:46 > 0:17:55- They formed a band - from six finalists.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- The next series - is slightly different.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05- We want to hear from anyone over 16.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- We want to hear from anyone under - 16.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- They can enter the competition.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- The opportunity often arises for us - to promote a cause and tell a story.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- This is one of those opportunities.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Ezzelina Jones was a talented - sculptor from Pontarddulais.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- Her work graced various galleries - during the late 20th century.
0:18:25 > 0:18:30- She died in 2012 and her family aims - to safeguard the future of her work.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34- They want to secure a home - at a suitable public establishment.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- Rhodri has the story.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- Ezzelina Gwenhwyfar Jones.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- It's a beautiful and unique name - for someone with a unique talent.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Ezzelina is both exotic and unusual.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Gwenhwyfar is Welsh and classic.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58- Jones reflects the universality - of Welsh families and communities.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- The combination of the unusual, - the Welsh and the universal...
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- ..is reflected in the work - of this amazing sculptor.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12- When I first saw the collection, - I was amazed by its size...
0:19:12 > 0:19:20- ..it's quality and the fact that it - is the work of a Pontarddulais lady.
0:19:21 > 0:19:31- Few women in that era were artists - and even less were sculptors.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- In that sense, - Ezzelina has to be unique.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- She started as a painter - and was quite successful.
0:19:40 > 0:19:47- She went to night school in Llanelli - and worked in charcoal.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- The head teacher saw her and said...
0:19:51 > 0:19:57- .."you shouldn't be working with - paint or charcoal but in the round."
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- He gave a her lump of clay - to take home.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- She burned the midnight oil - and had an eureka moment.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- I didn't know her under her - professional name of Ezzelina Jones.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- She was Aunty Gwen to me.
0:20:22 > 0:20:28- The family influenced her work - with my Mam-gu and Dat-cu.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33- I was two years old when Dat died.
0:20:33 > 0:20:41- He survived the First World War and - I remember his sombre appearance.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47- She's captured that in the sculpture - as it looks like it has suffered.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- There's all sorts of sculptures.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- We see the start of institutes - with men learning after work...
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- ..the gossiping women - that we have in every village...
0:21:01 > 0:21:07- ..and the Sunday best, - as my mother called them.
0:21:07 > 0:21:17- As people walked to church, - they were stiff to show respect.
0:21:21 > 0:21:28- This collection pays tribute - and chronicles a community and era.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- What would you like to see
0:21:32 > 0:21:38- The family believe - that this is a story.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44- I don't think you can separate - the various elements of a story.
0:21:44 > 0:21:51- Ideally, it would be wonderful if - these pieces were in one place...
0:21:52 > 0:21:58- ..because they are separate pieces - but also belong together.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- There's wooden, ceramic - and bronze pieces.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07- It's a valuable collection but the - problem comes in finding it a home.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13- The ideal answer is for one museum - to take the whole collection...
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- ..in memory of Ezzelina Jones.
