-Hello and welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-The weekend has already arrived.

-It feels a little strange not

-discussing the Six Nations...

-..as it takes a week's break.

-Seventy-five years ago tonight

-the blitz in Swansea occurred.

-Ann Rosser and Iorwerth Mort

-tell us of their memories shortly.

-This is what else we've got for you.

-You can win 100 or more

-in our Mwy Neu Lai quiz.

-To register and play

-call us on 08443 35 12 44.

-Ieuan also offers

-his seasonal gardening tips.

-Our Gossip Girls are Sian Jones,

-Gwenno Dafydd and Hana Medi.

-Today's topics include pensioners

-who have to pay for a falling fee.

-There's tips, discussions and a cash

-prize to ease you into the weekend.

-Stay tuned to Sian and myself

-for today's Prynhawn Da.

-Tonight marks 75 years

-since the blitz began in Swansea.

-It was three nights of bombings

-by the Luftwaffe.

-Flames could be seen for miles...

-..and Dylan Thomas' ugly lovely town

-was changed forever.

-Buildings were destroyed

-and hundreds of lives were lost.

-They were dark days in our history.

-Iorwerth Mort and Ann Rosser

-both remember the bombings.

-Welcome to the programme.

-What are your memories

-from that era?

-There are many things

-that I remember.

-The memories are still

-very much alive in my mind.

-We were all constantly scared.

-There was a lot of disarray

-and confusion at the time.

-I'm surprised that

-we managed to live through it.

-It was unbelievable that these

-things happened to close to home.

-There was no certainty

-about life routines.

-There was no certainty that

-we would be alive the next day.

-Swansea had a great view.

-I remember seeing Swansea in flames.

-Everything in the middle of Swansea

-was flat including Mount Pleasant.

-There was a tip between

-our home and the city...

-..but the flames were clear to see.

-I've watched many programmes

-about the Blitz...

-..but nobody has mentioned

-the colour of the flames.

-They were clear as day.

-The snow was white and the flares

-filled the night with light.

-The bombs created fire everywhere.

-Following the smaller bombs,

-we had the larger bombs.

-Ann, you were very young

-when it all happened.

-I was four at the time of the Blitz

-and I lived in Llansamlet.

-I had a siren suit.

-A siren suit was one of

-the first words that I learnt.

-Our shelter was a cellar.

-I didn't realize that people

-were encouraged to use cellar...

-..and invite neighbours in.

-We would sleep, sing

-and eat in the shelter.

-I remember people telling us

-to sing in the cellar.

-Others would tell stories.

-I would have cotton wool in my ears.

-The cotton wool in the ears would

-stop us from hearing the screech...

-..from the bombs.

-Iorwerth, you recall the city

-being completely flat.

-Everything in the middle of Swansea

-was flat including Mount Pleasant.

-All of the buildings

-had disappeared.

-We had to return to school

-after the Blitz.

-The top floor had gone.

-As we returned to Swansea

-on the railway...

-..it would take us into High Street.

-When we looked around,

-there were no standing buildings.

-We could also see

-the remnants of the church.

-When looking in the other direction,

-there was nothing to be seen.

-The centre of Swansea

-was still awful ten years later.

-How long did it take

-for Swansea to recover?

-It took time to rebuild the city.

-St Mary's Church

-was still in destroyed.

-During the blackouts,

-there was no light at all.

-Small boys would play planes.

-I only remember

-a small amount of light.

-My father was an ARP Warden.

-My father would shout

-"Put the light out!"

-There were no lights like today.

-The effects lasted for many years.

-We can't forget it.

-Don't forget to register

-to play our quiz, Mwy Neu Lai.

-Call us on 08443 35 18 97

-before the lines close at 2.30pm.

-After the break, Catrin prepares

-some apple sauce and cider sausages.

-Ieuan also shares

-some seasonal gardening tips.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-We've joined Catrin in the kitchen.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-What's on the menu today?

-The first recipe is for apple

-and cider sauce with sausages.

-I'm making a casserole.

-This is perfect

-to eat in the cold weather.

-It's suitable

-for two to three people.

-Buy quality sausages.

-Make sure you look at the packaging.

-Ensure that they

-are mainly full of meat.

-I've got pork sausages here.

-Brown some in a frying pan.

-Place them to one side and

-225 grams of onions.

-This is about two onions.

-Slice them finely.

-I've got 225 grams of smoked bacon.

-Allow everything to brown.

-It will caramelize

-and create a lovely colour.

-Add a clove of garlic.

-Cook the casserole over the stove.

-Add a tablespoon of oil.

-Slice an apple.

-You want it to be a crunchy dish.

-The apples will thicken

-the casserole.

-All the ingredients

-will make for a delicious casserole.

-You can prepare this dish

-beforehand.

-You need enough time to brown

-the ingredients.

-The dish won't dry out on a stove.

-Add some plain flour

-to the casserole pot.

-Apple and pork

-are a perfect combination.

-The bacon adds a special touch too.

-We've 450 ml of dry Welsh cider.

-Pour in some cider vinegar to cut

-through the taste.

-Give it all a stir.

-It is light in colour.

-It will get darker though.

-We also add some bay leaves and

-fresh thyme.

-That's all it is.

-Cover with a lid and allow to simmer

-for an hour.

-Make sure you stir at intervals.

-This is one I made already.

-Let's take a look at its colour.

-Do you need to add

-any extra seasoning?

-There's plenty of salt in the bacon

-and sausages.

-I haven't added any extra salt.

-I've seasoned with pepper.

-You can also add some mustard.

-The bacon can be quite salty.

-Don't add more salt.

-The consistency has thickened.

-That looks like the perfect

-comfort dish.

-It's very hot but give it a try.

-Thank you, Catrin.

-Delicious chocolate flapjacks

-are on the menu later.

-We're currently experiencing

-a lot of changeable weather.

-One moment it's raining and the next

-it's sunny, but still bitterly cold.

-What can you accomplish

-in the garden during this weather?

-Ieuan has his gardening tips

-for the coming month.

-Traditionally, strawberry plants

-are kept for only three years...

-..then discarded

-as they become less productive.

-I'm removing some old plants

-that are in their fourth year.

-They'll bear fruit again but they

-will be smaller and poor in quality.

-The plants lose their vigour

-and succumb to crippling diseases.

-Vacate the soil to plant

-something more productive.

-I'll plant a new crop

-of potatoes next month.

-In the meantime, I've got

-some young strawberry plants...

-..that were potted in the autumn

-and spent the winter on their side.

-The compost has slightly dried and

-the plants have enjoyed a respite.

-February is the time

-to transport them into greenhouse.

-Temperature will be slightly warmer

-so it'll force them to fruit early.

-They produce a month earlier

-than those outside in the garden.

-Earlier,

-I mention planting potatoes.

-To obtain an extra early crop,

-plant some tubers into compost pots.

-Compost heats quicker

-than garden soil...

-..especially if you place the pots

-in a sunny, sheltered garden spot.

-If you place them in a greenhouse

-they'll also grow at a faster rate.

-Choose an early crop of potatoes

-such as Maris Bard...

-..the Red Duke of York

-and Swift which mature extra early.

-The buds of these potatoes

-have already started to sprout.

-They're itching to be planted.

-It's possible to utilise small pots

-but the compost dries quickly...

-..and there isn't a lot of space

-for potatoes to expand in size.

-Ideally, you should use a pot

-that's a foot in width and depth.

-Fill the pot

-with five inches of compost...

-..and plant two egg-size tubers,

-or three small tubers.

-Position them five inches apart and

-cover with a few inches of compost.

-Gradually add more compost

-as the buds continue to sprout...

-..to protect the potatoes

-from any sunlight and frost.

-To ensure a heavy crop

-and tasty potatoes...

-..it's essential

-that you feed the plants...

-..as the compost lacks nourishment.

-You've got a choice.

-You can either mix fertilizer grains

-into the bottom of the pot...

-..or feed fortnightly with

-a dose of liquid fertilizer.

-Don't do both as it'll over-feed

-the crop and prove to be harmful.

-I favour a fortnightly liquid feed

-as they will grow quicker.

-The plants will only grow in pots

-for about ten to twelve weeks.

-This means if you plant them now,

-they're ready to eat in early May.

-You may want to do some

-gardening this weekend.

-What does the weather

-have in store for us?

-Steffan from the S4C weather team

-has all of the answers.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-What does the weather

-have in store for us?

-Simply put, it's going

-to be a miserable weekend.

-You can see a warm front crossing

-the country.

-Tomorrow,

-there'll be rain in the west.

-There will be dry spells

-in the east.

-On Sunday, the rain in the north

-spreads to the west.

-There's a difference to the south

-and north on the map.

-There's heavy rain in parts

-of the north.

-You can contact the Floodline

-in case of any floods.

-Thank you, Steffan.

-The phones lines

-for Mwy Neu Lai are still open.

-Call 08443 35 18 97 before the lines

-close at 2.30pm to win some money.

-After the break...

-..we welcome our Gossip Girls,

-Sian, Gwenno and Hana Medi.

-They'll discuss snooker, sandwich

-tax and the elderly lifting charge.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-The phone lines for today's

-Mwy Neu Lai have now closed.

-Please don't call any more

-as you will still be charged.

-We'll play Mwy Neu Lai

-with one lucky viewer later.

-Our Gossip Girls are Sian Jones,

-Gwenno Dafydd and Hana Medi.

-Welcome to the programme.

-We start with an alarming story

-about Tendring District Council.

-They hope to introduce

-an additional fee to pensioners...

-..on top of existing costs of

-subscription for elderly home care.

-The fee will pay a carer to pick up

-any elderly person that has fallen.

-The fee will cost 26...

-..and is described as shocking by a

-group that campaign for the elderly.

-This is quite a shocking story.

-Yes, this is shocking.

-I can find many other words

-to describe it.

-My mother used to work

-in a nursing home.

-They have to be physically strong.

-They should have more money to make

-sure that they help the patients.

-Elderly people shouldn't be

-charged for this.

-How will they afford this charge?

-I find this story to be disgraceful.

-How will they get to the phone?

-They will be on the floor.

-Some carers are too scared

-to pick up elderly people.

-Do you think the council is trying

-to find funds from everywhere...

-..due to the cuts that they face?

-These pensioners have worked

-throughout their lives...

-..they've paid taxes

-for these types of things.

-This story makes me mad.

-We are all against this story.

-We're looking in the wrong place.

-The money is being used

-in other places.

-These people have paid tax

-and have worked incredibly hard...

-..and why should

-they have to face this.

-Why have people voted for people

-who want to do this?

-We must make sure

-that other people vote...

-..to make sure that these people

-don't get into power.

-The next story is about

-the new controversial tax...

-..set by Caerphilly Council

-on children's packed lunches.

-It costs 2,200 a year to clean

-the leftovers of the lunch boxes.

-This is pathetic.

-They want 2,200 to clean the mess.

-I don't believe the parents

-should be paying.

-Those with three or four children...

-..send them in with packed lunches

-as they can't afford the dinners.

-Why should they pay

-for the mess to be cleared up?

-There's plenty of staff

-in schools to clean the mess.

-I've done a lot of work in schools.

-Children do leave a lot of mess.

-If the parents can't pay for this...

-..then they should be

-given rules to stand by.

-The aim is to help children.

-If they do this,

-there won't be a mess.

-This will help the children

-be more independent.

-Children should learn

-how to keep things clean.

-This is making a big divide between

-those who have school dinners...

-..and those who have packed lunches.

-The children who have school dinners

-also make a mess.

-There are a lot of ways

-to save money.

-Thank you for joining us.

-After the break, we'll call

-a lucky viewer to play Mwy Neu Lai.

-Catrin also returns to prepare

-some tasty chocolate flapjacks.
