-Thank you.

-What articles have grabbed

-There's been a trending hashtag

-on Twitter over the weekend.

-As you mentioned,

-this hashtag was everywhere.

-There's a programme

-on the BBC tonight.

-It's about Rhodri and Lucy Owen...

-..and whether they're going to

-educate their child in Welsh.

-Lots of people have responded to

-this article in the Western Mail.

-The word "despite"

-is what's angered people.

-Do you think it was a mistake?

-I doubt they realised that this

-backlash would occur.

-It's been a hot-topic

-over the weekend.

-Perhaps it will bring more viewers

-to tonight's BBC programme.

-It might even encourage parents to

-educate their children in Welsh.

-The hashtag was trending yesterday.

-What have the papers said about the

-situation...

-..with our the steel industry?

-The Wales on Sunday has an article

-about The End of Steel Town.

-It was recently announced...

-..that 750 will lose their jobs

-in the Port Talbot steel industry.

-In the past 18 months, cheap steel

-from China has flooded the market.

-Research by Cardiff University

-has confirmed...

-The whole community will be hit...

-..after the 750 steel industry jobs

-are lost.

-It's a way of life and part

-of the area's unique culture.

-Steel is in their blood.

-We're gradually losing our industry.

-The loss of these jobs will increase

-the unemployment rate.

-Chinese steel

-is very cheap at the moment...

-..but when our country no longer

-has the ability to produce it...

-..they will soon raise the price.

-There are British companies

-who use lots of steel...

-..and they should support the

-industry in this country.

-Yesterday's Observer talked about

-the job losses too.

-There are all sorts of things

-which are produced in Port Talbot.

-Every Heinz tin is produced

-in Port Talbot.

-Nissan cars are made in Port Talbot.

-Stephen Kinnock, the MP for Aberafan

-has claimed...

-..that we don't make the most

-of what we have on our doorsteps.

-We should make the most of our

-landscape and build wind turbines.

-There aren't enough jobs to replace

-what's been lost at Tata.

-Tata Steel has invested large

-sums of money to build new chimneys.

-Some 500 million needs to be spent

-to maintain the business.

-Former employees have called for us

-to take similar action to Iceland.

-Iceland use renewable energy.

-The discussions will continue.

-We won't feel the real effects of

-this cut for decades.

-The Wales on Sunday has an

-article about the Army.

-Killing our industries will push

-our young men away to join the army.

-Jason Samuels from Wrexham

-has suffered from PTSD for 20 years.

-Jason Samuels was only 19 years old

-when he was sent to war.

-He's a Gulf War veteran.

-This year marks 25 years since

-the war but its aftermath continues.

-If we lose our industries,

-our men will join the army.

-There aren't enough jobs in

-our underprivileged areas.

-Many of our veterans are homeless.

-After the break, Gareth will be

-preparing duck in cherry sauce.

-Steffan from the weather team

-visits Eglwyswrw...

-..a village which had

-more rain than usual!

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's time for our first visit of the

-day to the Prynhawn Da kitchen.

-Today, we're joined by Gareth.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-What are you making for us today?

-The first recipe is

-duck in cherry sauce.

-There's a romantic feast

-in the kitchen.

-I'll be making a three-course meal

-for tonight.

-Make sure you write it down,

-Llinos!

-Huw forgot about St Dwynwen's Day!

-I'm going to make the main course.

-It's duck in cherry sauce.

-It's a special dish

-for a special occasion.

-This is delicious.

-It has a kick to it!

-Place an empty tray in the oven.

-Don't place the pan on the heat.

-Get rid of any moisture

-from the skin of the duck.

-This will ensure a crisp skin.

-Cut into the skin

-but not down as far as the meat.

-This will release the fat

-from the meat.

-Season the duck with plenty of salt

-and some pepper.

-Place the meat in the pan

-whilst the heat is off.

-Why do you put it skin side down?

-Place the skin faced down

-to make it crisp.

-I'll wash my hands as I've been

-handling raw meat.

-I've never prepared duck.

-You need to be confident

-when preparing duck.

-You shouldn't overcook it.

-It should be pink inside.

-Next, I'm making the sauce.

-I'll be using a secret ingredient!

-It's a cherry compote

-with 50 percent fruit.

-Add two tablespoons of the compote.

-Next, add some dry cherries

-to add more flavour.

-Soak the cherries in port.

-You will need three tablespoons

-of port.

-You can use leftover port from

-Christmas.

-You can add one for luck too.

-Leave the cherries to soak

-in the port for an hour.

-Thicken the sauce

-over a medium heat.

-Next, we're going to prepare the

-hearts made from cous cous.

-You need a bowl of cous cous.

-Cover the cous cous with a cloth.

-This is healthier than rice.

-It's a carbohydrate.

-Add some salt and pepper to season

-the cous cous.

-Add Tabasco sauce to the

-cous cous too.

-You have many red ingredients

-in this dish, Gareth!

-Add some finely chopped watercress.

-This isn't quite ready yet.

-You can serve the cous cous

-in these bowls.

-I've lined the bowls

-with cling film.

-I'm using some finely chopped

-roasted peppers as a base...

-..for the cous cous.

-Cous cous sounds like kiss kiss!

-You can prepare these beforehand.

-They could be warmed up before

-serving.

-The duck is nearly ready.

-When should you put the

-duck in the oven?

-You will know that it's ready to be

-placed in the oven...

-..but make sure you place

-it skin down.

-It should be in the oven for 20

-minutes until it's cooked through.

-Next, serve everything on a plate.

-I've got my fingers crossed that the

-cous cous will come out neatly.

-It's nearly there!

-I'm using a pea puree and

-displaying it in a kiss shape.

-The duck has been resting.

-Cut the duck in half before placing

-it on the plate.

-The puree is also ready.

-Thank you, Gareth.

-More rain is expected in Wales today

-and Steffan from weather team...

-..has been to one area which is used

-to all of the recent wet weather.

-Rain, rain, rain...

-..and even more rain!

-Over the past few months,

-we've all been talking about rain.

-Eglwyswrw has become

-accustomed to the rain.

-In this little village in the

-North-West of Pembrokeshire...

-..it rained for 84 days.

-We're used to rain because

-of our geographical location.

-It's been non-stop...

-..and we had a horrible spell

-until the turn of the Old New Year.

-On the 25th day, the sun came out

-and the day remained dry.

-On the 85th day, the sun came out

-and the day remained dry.

-The church is situated behind us.

-On the 84th day,

-the prayers had changed...

-..from asking for dry weather

-to praying for even more rain!

-One woman told me...

-..that they sang "Singing in the

-Rain" and not "Bring me Sunshine."

-Tom Hazledon has been recording

-the weather for the past few months.

-We started collecting weather data

-41 years ago to this coming March.

-We've spent quite a long time

-doing it manually.

-We had been doing it

-the old, hard way.

-Now, we're extremely modern

-and posh with an automatic station.

-Pupils at Ysgol Eglwyswrw school

-have been collecting data too.

-Who can tell me...

-..how has the weather been

-in Eglwyswrw recently?

-It's been raining.

-It's been windy with

-a little sunshine mixed with rain.

-It's been soaking wet.

-It had been raining

-for such a long time...

-..so Year 1 decided to measure

-and record the rainfall.

-Every morning at 9.30am, the pupils

-wear their coats and wellingtons...

-..before heading outside to place

-the rain measuring device.

-In the afternoon at 3.00pm,

-we measure the rainfall.

-How much rain has fallen today,

-Megan?

-There's one millimetre.

-One millimetre of rain

-has fallen today.

-Elin, it's been raining for 84 days

-so do you like the rain?

-Yes, I like the rain

-because I can go outside to play.

-Do you like the rain?

-Yes,

-because I like to jump in puddles.

-It's been raining lots in Eglwyswrw

-and we've been on the television.

-What's been happening?

-Over the past few months, the air

-has been coming from south-west.

-The wind that blows

-from the south-west is warm air.

-Warm air holds more moisture.

-When the air hits Pembrokeshire,

-it rises, cools and evaporates...

-..which creates rainfall.

-We've seen a massive change

-in the weather.

-The rainfall hasn't increased

-in volume.

-We've had higher volumes than this

-during some winters.

-Day after day, it's been wet.

-This winter has proven that we must

-prepare for all weather conditions.

-It's been an unfortunate winter for

-our animals and especially sheep.

-Cows are normally kept indoors

-but sheep are out in every weather.

-During this period

-of changeable weather...

-..this record could return again

-to Eglwyswrw in the years to come.

-After the break...

-..we meet Denis and Enid Davies, who

-have been married for 40 years...

-..and they're here to celebrate

-St Dwynwen's Day with us.

-Daf Wyn will be finding

-out more about St Dwynwen.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's St Dwynwen's Day...

-..a day where many declare

-their love with one large gesture.

-But what is the secret

-to a long-term happy relationship?

-Denis and Enid Davies of Llanrwst

-have been married for 40 years...

-..and they have all of the answers.

-Happy St Dwynwen's Day to you.

-What do you normally do

-on St Dwynwen's Day?

-We usually go out for a meal.

-We like to go to restaurants

-in the Conwy Valley.

-We have a great selection

-in the area.

-What's the secret to a long

-and happy marriage?

-We celebrate our birthdays

-on the same day.

-We have the same interests.

-We enjoy the Eisteddfod,

-going on trips and eating.

-We also tend to think

-the same things.

-Who's the most romantic?

-I would have to say

-we're both romantic.

-We met 42 years ago, on a boat

-from Llandudno to the Isle of Man.

-I was with a group of boys

-from Bandy Tudur...

-..and Enid was with a group

-from Dudweiliog.

-I lived in Bandy Tudur

-at the time.

-Enid was a teacher in Llanrwst.

-I spotted her on the boat

-and we started chatting.

-We married on 29 March 1975.

-It rained a lot the Friday

-before our wedding.

-I was worried that I wouldn't

-be able to get to the venue.

-It was a fantastic day.

-Our family and friends

-celebrated with us.

-You have the same interests

-including going on cruises.

-We enjoy our cruises.

-We've been on three recently.

-I said that I didn't want to go

-on a cruise...

-..but since our first, we're hooked.

-The photograph is from last summer.

-We've been on cruises around Europe.

-We enjoy last year's cruise.

-Our son married in Sorrento

-and we enjoy that cruise.

-We've always competed

-in the Eisteddfod.

-I previously won

-a T H Parry Williams medal...

-..at the Llanelli Eisteddfod

-in 2000.

-We both have won the

-John and Ceridwen Hughes medal...

-..at the Urdd Eisteddfod in Swansea

-in 2010.

-It was a huge shock to us.

-Tell us about the medals.

-The John and Ceridwen Hughes medal

-is given for volunteer work.

-People of any age could win.

-We have two children, Deiniol Tudur

-and Esyllt Tudur.

-That is a photograph

-of Esyllt's wedding.

-They got engaged

-on St Dwynwen's Day.

-It was a double celebration.

-This is a photograph

-of our grandson, Meilir.

-You get to stay in a hotel

-in Llanelli and a meal...

-..for coming down to speak to us.

-Thank you, Denis and Enid.

-As we've already mentioned,

-it's St Dwynwen's Day...

-..but who was Dwynwen?

-Daf Wyn met with Ann Rosser

-to find the answer.

-The Welsh celebrate romance on

-25 January but it has sombre roots.

-Dwynwen is the Welsh patron saint

-of lovers from the fifth century.

-She was devout and the prettiest of

-Brychan Brycheiniog's daughters.

-He had 24 daughters

-so that is quite a feat!

-Dwynwen fell in love with Maelon

-but was betrothed to someone else.

-In his rage,

-Maelon raped Dwynwen and left her.

-Dwynwen fled to a forest and prayed

-to be released from her feelings.

-An angel appeared with a potion

-so she could forget about Maelon...

-..and turn him into a slab of ice.

-God gave Dwynwen three wishes.

-First, she asked

-that Maelon be released.

-Her second wish was for God

-to look after all true lovers.

-Her third wish

-was that she remain unmarried.

-Her wishes were granted and she

-remained faithful to God for life.

-The Welsh express their love in

-many ways but especially in poems.

-The Welsh have written about love

-since the Middle Ages.

-Dafydd ap Gwilym is most famous

-for his poems about love.

-Nature and love

-were the main themes in his work.

-He expressed strong emotions

-for both Morfudd and Dyddgu.

-There's also light-hearted poetry,

-such as Trafferth Mewn Tafarn...

-..where he hoped for a midnight

-liaison but woke the entire pub!

-It proves that he could

-laugh about himself.

-There were also poems where the

-subject was a gull or the wind...

-..and he asked them to carry

-a message of love to the young lady.

-Last century,

-lyrical poems were very popular.

-John Morris Jones penned a beautiful

-poem which is rather sentimental.

-However, it's wonderful.

-"My sweetheart has two eyes

-that sparkle like gems

-"But these gems could never be

-as beautiful as her eyes!"

-He mentions her slender neck

-and appearance...

-..but at the end,

-he gives a wonderful phrase.

-"I notice that as the words flow

-from her lips

-"She gives the world its colour

-and brings flavour to the wine."

-Her face would not be as beautiful

-if she couldn't speak Welsh.

-If not for Dwynwen, these literary

-masterpieces would not exist.

-It's fair to say that it is part

-of human nature.

-This is reflected in our legends

-and our poetry.

-It's part of human nature

-and an innate part of the Welsh.

-Dwynwen became a nun and moved

-to Llanddwyn Island near Anglesey.

-She died in 460.

-The remains of St Dwynwen's Church

-still stand on the island.

-It's also home to Dwynwen's Well

-that housed a sacred fish...

-..who's movements predicted

-the future of relationships.

-Bubbling water meant that

-good fortune and love would follow.

-Wales is awash

-with romantic locations...

-..but this would not be possible

-without the sacrifice of one lady...

-..over 1,400 years ago.

-What a shame!

-It's time to find out

-what's on tonight's Heno.

-What can we expect

-on tonight's programme?

-Join us for tonight's Heno

-between 7.00pm and 8.00pm.

-We celebrate St Dwynwen's Day.

-Our Supper Club returns and Elwen

-will be preparing a dish...

-..which will certainly

-melt our hearts.

-The recipe is available

-on our website, www.heno.tv.

-Tudur Phillips and Anni Llyn, who

-are about to become Mr and Mrs...

-..will also be in the studio.

-We're joined in the studio

-by Stifyn Parri.

-He wants people to enter

-the new series of Sion a Sian.

-Fans of the programme,

-Take Me Out on ITV...

-..may have seen Rhys Lewis from

-Merthyr Tydfil on the programme.

-We'll hear his top dating tips.

-After the break...

-..Gareth prepares a hidden heart

-pudding with chocolate sauce.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back to the final part

-of today's Prynhawn Da.

-We close the programme with

-something for our sweet tooth.

-You're making a hidden hearts

-pudding with chocolate sauce.

-This is a special pudding

-to end this romantic meal.

-We need the butter

-to be at room temperature.

-I'll add an egg and butter

-to the bowl.

-You also need self raising flour.

-Mix the ingredients together.

-It is better to use a wooden spoon.

-Add another egg

-and the rest of the flour.

-The first egg can't cope

-with all of the flour.

-When you create cakes,

-you would usually add the sugar.

-I'm not going to use sugar,

-I'm going to use syrup.

-The best way to release the syrup

-is a hot spoon.

-I'm going to use 100g of syrup.

-Huw and Guto call this a Lion jam.

-The best way to add colour

-and taste to the mixture...

-..is by using cocoa.

-Mix it slowly.

-It will make a truffle consistency.

-If you have bought small pots...

-..you can place the mixture

-into the dish.

-I'm going to use amaretti biscuits.

-When you usually use

-greaseproof paper...

-..but in this recipe you do.

-Place this hazelnut spread

-in the middle of the cake.

-You need to serve it

-the same time as the duck.

-It looks great in the heart!

-You can enjoy the pudding together

-on one place.

-Dennis and Enid are ready

-to sample the pudding.

-I'm a chocoholic.

-I've used cream and chocolate

-to make a chocolate sauce.

-Don't be shy, dig in.

-If I cut the pudding, you can see

-the surprise in the middle.

-You've been spoilt today.

-This is lovely.

-I want some!

-Delicious.

-Thank you, Gareth.

-Prynhawn Da returns

-tomorrow at 2.00pm.

-Carys Wyn will be discussing

-the new renting rules.

-Tomorrow, I'll be celebrating

-Breakfast Week...

-singers in Wales' biggest companies.

-Until tomorrow, goodbye.
