-the weekend newspaper headlines.

-We look forward to our chat.

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

-Nerys prepares a comforting pie

-and pudding during this cold snap.

-Today is Walking the Dog Day.

-Catrin Davies is a professional dog

-walker and is here to tell us more.

-Welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-Let's start Monday's programme by

-looking at the weekend newspapers.

-Today's columnist is Ciron Gruffydd.

-Welcome to the studio, Ciron.

-Thank you.

-We start with a hot topic.

-The European Union referendum

-is reported in The Independent.

-We cast our eyes over an article

-in today's Independent newspaper.

-Boris Johnson has announced that

-he's backing Britain leaving Europe.

-He's got enough on his plate

-as the Mayor of London.

-He claims that he is the face

-for leaving Europe.

-It's a big gamble for him.

-This could put him in line

-for Number 10.

-He wants to throw his hat in

-during this race.

-There will be a battle of the

-characters during this campaign.

-He has brought a lot of attention

-to this campaign.

-He's out on the streets and makes

-his presence felt among the public.

-There are a few groups that are

-for leaving the European Union.

-Nigel Farage

-is an advocate of this campaign.

-His timing is very interesting.

-Cameron has just returned

-from talks in Brussels.

-He was fighting his corner.

-The situation seems a little weak.

-Maybe this is why Boris

-has gone against him.

-Cameron didn't want to announce

-the referendum until he came back.

-Michael Gove and Boris Johnson have

-said that they are against Cameron.

-There are many Tories that may

-go against the Prime Minister.

-We'll be hearing much more

-about this until June.

-I don't know what the Tory party

-in Wales think about the situation.

-We don't know how much influence

-Europe has on our Welsh communities.

-There are more important matters

-to discuss in Wales I think.

-Let's turn to The Wales Online.

-The most expensive road in the area

-was Sanderling Way in Porthcawl.

-Property prices on Sanderling Way

-averaged 855,000.

-That's a lot of money!

-The least expensive road in Wales

-was Caerau Crescent in Newport...

-..where prices averaged 23,500.

-It's an interesting report.

-People like to be nosey

-when it comes to house prices.

-There's a massive difference in

-prices between these two locations.

-The study included that three houses

-had to be sold within a year...

-..on these particular roads.

-It goes to show that the

-property market is booming again.

-The most expensive street

-in England and Wales in 2014...

-..was South Easton Place

-in Belgravia...

-..where the town-houses go

-for an average of 9.9 million.

-Our next article is from

-yesterday's Wales on Sunday.

-Wales on Sunday reports

-on UFO activities in Wales.

-There have been 25 UFO sightings

-in Wales since January 2015.

-The Mutual UFO Network

-have logged the sightings.

-Around 500 sightings

-have occurred in Britain in total.

-There have been sightings

-of a craft as wide as a street.

-This gentleman was driving at

-the time and he was seeing double!

-The sightings range from a white dot

-travelling faster then a jet.

-There was a sighing

-in Ebbw Vale too.

-Thank you, Ciron.

-It's time to head over

-to the kitchen with Nerys.

-Today, she has the perfect

-comfort food for this cold weather.

-I've got some comfort food for you.

-Today, I'm making a beef,

-leek and roast potato pie.

-I start by frying one onion.

-Add some beef mince to the pan.

-I tend use a pound of meat.

-There's quality mince meat

-out there.

-You can add the meat

-to a dry frying pan and brown it.

-You can use the fat from the meat

-to fry the onions.

-That's a great tip for you.

-You can also use venison mince

-or pork or lamb mince.

-You need to brown the mince first.

-Add some herbs to it.

-I've got some dried thyme here.

-Add five or six leaves

-of fresh thyme if you want though.

-The dried option doesn't last

-for a long time.

-You have to store it in a dry place

-and out of direct sunlight.

-A spice rack on the kitchen counter

-isn't always the best place.

-Add two tablespoons

-of tomato puree.

-You can see the fat

-oozing out of the meat.

-This is a rich pie.

-We are adding red wine to the pan

-and season with salt and pepper.

-Pour in half a bottle of wine.

-You don't have to use

-a quality wine.

-But if you use a quality tipple

-it will improve the flavour.

-Leave this to simmer for 20 minutes.

-Here's one I made earlier.

-It's quite dry know.

-We are making three layers

-with this pie.

-I've chopped up some leeks here.

-Place them on the bottom

-of the baking dish.

-You need an appropriate

-baking dish.

-Pour in some creme fraiche.

-It'll create a creamy sauce.

-Season with some pepper.

-Add the mince meat the dish.

-The topping is made from potatoes.

-I've got 500 grams of potatoes.

-Boil them for a few minutes.

-Cool them quickly after boiling

-and the skin easily remove.

-I'm grating the potatoes.

-It's similar to a rosti.

-They serve rosti on the continent.

-You still want the potatoes

-to be solid.

-Add some melted butter

-to the potatoes.

-Next, we pour the potatoes

-over the top.

-It's a lot lighter

-than mashed potatoes.

-Bake for 190 degrees Celsius

-or gas mark 5 for 30 minutes.

-It should look like this

-after it has baked.

-Let's plate the pie up.

-That looks lovely.

-You go first.

-That is nice.

-It's got a different taste.

-It's quite rich.

-Thank you.

-Nerys tempts us with a lemon pudding

-at the end of the programme.

-It's Walking the Dog Day.

-After the break, we celebrate

-this daily ritual by dog owners.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Are you one of the thousands of

-Brits who walks your dog every day?

-Today is Walking the Dog Day.

-Catrin Davies joins us and runs

-a profession dog walking service.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Tell us about your company.

-I was working as a policewoman.

-I retired due to an illness in 2011.

-I decided I had to do something

-in my retirement.

-I was walking my dog, Mwlsyn

-on a daily basis.

-I decided to start

-a dog walking service.

-There's a high demand

-for dog walking.

-You're not meant to leave a dog in

-the house for longer than six hours.

-People are busy working

-most of the day.

-I visit homes

-when people are at work.

-They hand me their keys

-to let me in.

-I take their dogs for a walk.

-Some people are ill and can't

-take their dogs for a walk too.

-Should we be walking our dogs

-every day?

-You have to take responsibility when

-you welcome a dog into your home.

-I did a lot of research before

-my young family welcomed a dog.

-You need to find out

-if the dog matches your family.

-It's a massive responsibility.

-It's like having a child!

-I don't tend to have a lot

-of problems with the dogs.

-Mwlsyn joins us on our walks.

-I've got a beagle

-and he needs a lot of walks.

-It also keeps me fit.

-I run with Mwlsyn too.

-You don't have to run

-as you can just walk.

-I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis.

-It helps with my ailment.

-If you've got a dog, it's an excuse

-to get you out of the house.

-You also meet a lot of other

-dog walkers on your walks.

-You get to know people

-that you have never met before.

-I recommend that a new dog

-buys a sensible lead.

-I also wear a florescent coat.

-I make sure that I can be seen.

-You also need poo bags.

-You could be fined

-if you don't clean up after the dog.

-The most important thing is to

-be seen when you're out and about.

-Thank you, Catrin.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's time for us

-to focus on our hair.

-Wendy is our hairstylist

-and shows us how to create curls.

-First, let's hear more about you.

-I'm originally from Neath.

-I now live in Carmarthen.

-I trained at Coleg Morgannwg.

-I also worked in a salon

-before becoming self-employed.

-A few years ago,

-I started teaching hairstyling.

-I currently teach at Coleg Sir Gar.

-We're all accustom

-to straightening our hair.

-Curls are on trend this spring.

-Big hair is all the rage.

-My hair is normally quite straight.

-I towelled dried my hair,

-added a blob of Small Talk...

-..and plaited my hair

-whilst it was still damp.

-I slept with my hair in the plaits

-and woke up like this.

-You only need a little spray

-to keep it in place.

-Carys has longer hair.

-We washed Carys' hair and used

-some Got 2 Be heat protector.

-We've curled the hair

-with straighteners.

-Here are our before and after shots.

-Carys' hair

-was completely straight before.

-We twist the straighteners and

-pull it down to create the curl.

-It's a simple way of creating

-a curl.

-Have you curled your hair

-with straighteners, Carys?

-I use straighteners to curl my hair.

-When I use tongs, the curls

-don't normally stay in my hair.

-I struggle to do

-the back of my hair.

-We've added some volume

-to Nan's hair with a product.

-We've dried the hair

-with a pro styler.

-This one will dry the hair

-whilst you style it.

-There are two products here.

-There's a root booster

-for the roots.

-You should apply it in sections.

-There's also some mousse

-for the ends of the hair.

-It adds plenty of volume.

-Here's a before shot of Nan.

-Nan has lots of volume

-in her hair now.

-My hair is normally quite flat.

-I'm going to try Carys' technique.

-I have some straighteners at home

-to try it.

-Velcro rollers are very handy.

-You can place them in the hair

-whilst you're getting ready.

-You apply them to the hair

-when it's dry.

-They will add volume to your hair.

-There are some large

-curlers available.

-Big bottles of products can be

-expensive but they do last.

-These products

-are professional ones.

-This small bottle of small talk

-has been open for two years!

-You only need a tiny amount

-in your hair.

-Thank you.

-Next, we enter the world

-of alternative therapies.

-Some people opt for this treatment

-instead of seeking medical advice.

-Today, we focus on reiki.

-Heledd has been to experiment.

-I'm looking at alternative ways

-to take care and heal ourselves.

-Today, I've come to Cardiff

-to meet Lois who performs Reiki.

-Reiki? Let's go and find out more.

-It's a form of treatment.

-I use my hands to release energy.

-Sometimes, I will place my hands

-on the client that I'm treating...

-..or I'll work above the body

-around the person's energy.

-What sort of illness can Reiki heal?

-I've worked with all sorts of people

-with various conditions.

-They could have cancer, depression

-or feel under stress due to work.

-However, this isn't ordinary Reiki.

-I work in Reiki Sekhem.

-The most popular Reiki

-comes from Japan...

-..but my Sekhem discipline

-comes from Ancient Egypt.

-I combine this energy with the

-energy that comes from the hands...

-..and the stones

-which have their own energy.

-There are hundreds of stones which

-are used for different purposes.

-The colour and shape contributes

-to the stone's natural energy.

-These stones blend well

-with our own energy.

-Some stones are typically used

-for specific treatments.

-I want to learn more

-about the stones.

-Clear crystals

-are the most common stones.

-They grow underground,

-beneath our feet all over the world.

-The Calcite stone's family

-is very interesting.

-They come in lots of colours...

-..and they're used when a person

-goes through a period of change.

-The colour offers a clue

-where I should use the stone.

-The pink stone can be used

-for treating the heart...

-..whilst orange stones are

-very useful for treating depression.

-Green stones can also be

-associated with the heart.

-If an alternate feeling of

-freezing cold and boiling hot...

-..is a sign that this treatment

-works, then it certainly helped me.

-That's an excuse to have a lie down!

-After the break,

-we return to the kitchen with Nerys.

-She'll be making

-a delicious lemon pudding.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back to Prynhawn Da.

-We close today's programme

-in the kitchen with Nerys.

-A lemon pudding is on the menu.

-It's a citrus pudding.

-You can use any citrus fruit.

-However, I enjoy a lemon flavour.

-Start with 75g of unsalted butter

-and 75g of sugar.

-Mix the ingredients together

-and add three egg yolks.

-The mixture looks quite strange.

-You can really smell the lemon zest.

-I'm using three lemons.

-Next, we're using the juice

-but there's also lots of sugar.

-The sugar will cut into

-the sharpness of the lemon.

-If you make this with oranges,

-you may want to add one lemon too.

-This will add the sourness

-to this pudding.

-I love puddings!

-I really enjoy them.

-Next, add some flour.

-You need 75g of self-raising flour.

-It's quite a light pudding.

-Add more liquid in the form

-of 200ml of milk.

-I nearly used the cream!

-The cream will be served at the end.

-Can you use cream instead of milk?

-You could use cream in the pudding

-but it will be very rich.

-However, we're making a light

-pudding so I'm using milk.

-Use the remaining egg whites.

-Whisk them

-until they're fairly stiff.

-You should aim for a consistency

-that's similar to the other mix.

-You just need to add air to them.

-You don't need

-a meringue consistency.

-Add one spoon of egg whites

-to the mixture.

-This allows you to easily

-introduce the remaining egg whites.

-You need a metal spoon

-when doing this.

-In my cooking lessons, I was taught

-to use a wooden spoon to mix...

-..and a metal spoon

-to add egg whites.

-Move the spoon in a figure of eight.

-This is a real pudding in terms

-of texture and consistency.

-Place in the oven at 180 degrees

-Celsius or Gas Mark 4 for 50 minutes

-This mixture will rise in the oven.

-You can see the layers in this cake.

-The bottom will be a liquid.

-This dish has been left to cool

-for slightly too long.

-You can serve the pudding

-with cream.

-Here's one for you to try.

-It's very light.

-It's lovely.

-There aren't too many ingredients

-in this pudding.

-Even I could make this!

-Tomorrow, Dr Llinos concentrates on

-illnesses that affect small babies.

-Kevin will create

-the perfect floral arrangement...

-..and Ifor Williams of the Welsh

-Place-Name Society will be here.

-Until tomorrow, goodbye.
