-Hello and welcome to Llanelli

-for 50 minutes of Prynhawn Da!

-In a moment, we get useful advice

-from the solicitor, Angela Killa.

-This is what else we have for you.

-We mark 300 years since the birth

-of William Williams Pantycelyn...

-..as the musician, Dr Lyn Davies

-discusses Pantycelyn's hymns.

-There's a plea by a mother to raise

-funds for her cancer treatment.

-Carys Tudor brings romance to our

-homes to celebrate Marriage Week.

-Daf Wyn and Lisa Fearn spend an

-afternoon with a group in Pumsaint.

-Trimsaran-born Ros Garrat-Moore

-reveals her prized possessions.

-This is footage of her performing

-on the programme a few years ago.

-You can enjoy all this and more

-on Tuesday's Prynhawn Da.

-We start the programme by talking

-about holidays in the school term.

-There was a recent court case

-about Jon Platt...

-..who took his daughter to Florida

-during the school term...

-..and refused to pay a fine of 120.

-Our resident solicitor,

-Angela Killa has joined us.

-Welcome to the programme.

-What can you tell us

-about this story?

-Jon Platt was fined 120 for taking

-his daughter to Disney World...

-..during school term time.

-The school had not given permission

-for the absence.

-Jon Platt refused to pay the fine

-and was taken to court...

-..by the local council.

-The magistrates agreed that taking

-a child out of school for a week...

-..did not mean that

-they were not attending regularly.

-He argued that his daughter had

-only been absent for eight days.

-The father claimed his daughter

-still attended school regularly.

-The High Court agreed

-with the magistrates decision.

-The local council weren't happy.

-I'm sure he didn't expect to have

-this much attention.

-The council are to blame here.

-The Department of Education

-has tried to stop headmasters...

-..from letting children

-go on holiday during term time.

-Michael Gove wanted to be strict

-about absences at school.

-The headmaster of the school has

-the right to give the permission.

-This is delivered

-by the local council.

-If you don't pay a fine you will be

-dealt with by the council.

-You will be fined 60 first

-and then 120...

-..if you don't pay within a month.

-This can also lead to community

-service and imprisonment.

-Holidays during the school holidays

-are more expensive.

-Travel companies establish

-extortionate price hikes...

-..during school holiday periods.

-Holiday prices are significantly

-lower during school term time.

-Families are unable to afford to pay

-these prices during school holidays.

-It could mean children lose out

-on holidays and life experiences.

-Many parents would say that

-it is cheaper to pay the 60...

-..than paying more to go

-on holidays.

-Every local council deals with

-this matter with a different code.

-If I took my children out of school

-in term time...

-..I would explain to the headmaster

-how it would benefit them.

-The older a child gets...

-..the more important it is that

-they attend school due to exams.

-I wouldn't advise parents to take

-their child out of school...

-..during term time.

-Many schools also have

-to regulate their figures.

-After the break, we hear more about

-William Williams Pantycelyn...

-..and learn about his work

-as a poet and writer.

-There's also the story of an appeal

-to help Nicola White from Pembrey.

-Welcome back.

-This week,

-we're celebrating 300 years...

-..since the birth

-of William Williams Pantycelyn.

-Today, we're looking at his hymns

-with the musician, Dr Lyn Davies.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-William Williams Pantycelyn...

-..is recognized as one of

-the greatest poets in Europe.

-William Williams Pantycelyn

-has written hundreds of hymns.

-Many of his hymns

-appear in Caneuon Ffydd.

-I live in the Towy Valley.

-I know about the area...

-..where William Williams Pantycelyn

-lived.

-The land is very difficult to work.

-He would travel the country...

-..on a pony...

-..when he preached and sold tea.

-He was a true poet.

-Many of his hymns

-are the best of our nation.

-His faith was very important to him.

-He got to the nature of man,

-God and Christ.

-This was a man...

-..who knew his faith inside out.

-What are the features of his work

-that make him a talented poet?

-In some of the books...

-..William Williams Pantycelyn

-isn't praised as a poet.

-In his period, we have to think

-that he would travel the country...

-..and understood the metre of songs.

-We know of the descriptions

-of the time...

-..when there were Methodists...

-..and people who would sing

-an array of songs.

-He used popular hymn tunes.

-We remember his hymns because

-in the 19th century...

-..they were more strict

-in terms of the metres...

-..and solfa.

-That was an example of his work.

-That hymn tune was written

-by William James.

-He was an engineer.

-He wasn't a musician.

-Hyfrodol was set to many lyrics...

-..by William Williams Pantycelyn.

-You can't think of the hymn tune

-of Cwm Rhondda...

-..without thinking of the lyrics

-of Bread of Heaven.

-We often think of the tune

-Amazing Grace.

-It's a popular tune.

-We remember it being sung

-by Iris Williams.

-The verses are full of excerpts

-from the Bible.

-John Hughes penned a memorable

-hymn tune in Cwm Rhondda.

-It has an amazing climax.

-It's so memorable.

-I've heard it being sung

-in Patagonia...

-..with my wife, Elinor.

-It was very emotional.

-Three weeks later,

-I was in the Madras area...

-..near the area of

-the church of St Thomas...

-..and I heard Cwm Rhondda

-being sung there too.

-It's a true anthem.

-It's iconic!

-A lot of our music is iconic.

-You've set some of William Williams

-Pantycelyn's verses to music.

-Yes, that's right.

-I don't know who told you!

-Next, we meet a young mother

-from Pembrey called Nicola White.

-Nicola is battling with cancer...

-..and trying to raise 75,000

-for specialist treatment.

-Before we chat with

-some of Nicola's friends...

-..let's hear from the lady herself.

-I was first diagnosed with cancer

-when I was 15 years old.

-It's called osteosarcoma

-which is a type of bone cancer.

-I've had chemotherapy and numerous

-amounts of surgery to save my leg...

-..but I had to have an amputation in

-2011 so it just keeps coming back.

-I finished chemotherapy on the NHS

-as there's nothing more they can do.

-We're trying to raise money

-for proton beam therapy.

-We're trying to raise 75,000

-as quickly as possible...

-..so that we can take Mam to

-Switzerland to have an operation...

-..so that it stops her

-from having cancer ever again.

-You can buy Save Nicola t-shirts

-and jumpers too.

-I've written a letter to thank

-the people who have supported Mam.

-I'm very grateful to everyone.

-I'm extremely grateful to everyone

-who has raised money for me.

-Please give Mam some money.

-If you're watching this,

-please will you donate.

-Two of Nicola's friends

-have joined us today.

-Laura Carr and Emily Carr,

-welcome to the programme.

-You are a relative, Emily.

-Yes, I'm her cousin.

-Nicola cannot have cancer treatment

-on the NHS...

-..so needs proton beam therapy

-in Switzerland.

-How is Nicola now?

-The family have had a tough time.

-Nicola is very positive.

-The family has had a difficult time.

-There's a lot of us

-in the Save Nicola team.

-We feel as if everyone

-in Llanelli is supporting Nicola.

-We've raised a lot

-of money already.

-I think we've raised 20,000

-to date.

-A lot of that is through donations.

-We've had a curry night.

-There was also some meetings

-on the beach...

-..where people did a lot of burpies!

-There's also a sky dive in Swansea

-coming up.

-I won't be doing the skydive!

-Two people

-will be doing the skydive.

-Nicola's sister-in-law

-is doing the skydive.

-What about the bake-off?

-We've got a bake-off

-in Swiss Valley.

-It's on Sunday.

-Anyone can donate a cake for us

-to sell.

-We don't need any

-more Victoria sponges.

-You have thought of everything.

-There's a concert to raise money

-for Nicola...

-..on Saturday 4 March at 7.30pm.

-The concert is at St Mary's Church

-in Burry Port.

-There's also a sponsored bike ride.

-They are cycling from

-the Severn Bridge to Pembroke.

-We're all on social media...

-..and welcome people

-to get in touch with us.

-The schools have been incredible.

-All the staff have bought

-the Save Nicola t-shirts.

-I think the school

-raised over 1,000.

-It was amazing.

-When is the concert?

-The concert is on 4 March in

-St Mary's Church in Burry Port.

-All are welcome to contact us.

-There's still plenty to enjoy today

-in a matter of minutes.

-Welcome back.

-In a moment, we enjoy afternoon tea

-with a cooking club in Pumsaint.

-Ros Garrat-Moore discusses

-some of her treasured possessions.

-First, we enjoy five minutes

-of romance with Carys Tudor.

-Welcome to the programme, Carys.

-Thank you.

-You make me sound like a therapist!

-It's Marriage Week, Wales

-has celebrated St Dwynwen's Day...

-..and Valentine's Day

-is on the horizon.

-Today, we're looking at ways to

-inject some romance into our homes.

-My bed is going to be like this...

-..but there's only room for me

-in it!

-There's something old fashioned

-about it...

-..and it reminds me

-of my grandmother's bed.

-The bed cover is 36 from Dunelm.

-It's great with the cushions...

-..that are 4 each from Tesco.

-They are a bit of fun.

-There's a picture of some hearts

-in a row...

-..that is 9.99 from Dunelm.

-It ties with some hesian ribbon.

-I've got more hearts

-and frames on the table.

-The glass candlestick is 25

-from Marks and Spencer.

-It looks much more expensive...

-..and is very heavty.

-I love the pair of

-heart-shaped mugs.

-I haven't tried drinking

-out of them!

-There are others

-with heart patterns on them.

-On the bottom of the table...

-..there's a row of tealights.

-They are 1 each.

-They are from Asda.

-You can spell anything you like

-with those letters.

-They are a real bargain.

-Next, we've got some items

-to snuggle up with...

-..and the teddies are relaxing on

-the furry throw...

-..which is 25 from Dunelm.

-It's still the winter so you need

-something to cuddle up...

-and it's great for a film night.

-You can use these

-through the winter.

-There's a heart-shaped frame.

-You can put a family photograph

-in it.

-It's a great gift.

-It's 17.50.

-You can also have some fake flowers.

-They are great quality

-at the moment.

-Silk flowers can gather dust.

-Check the label to see

-if they can be washed.

-You can blow off the dust

-with the hair dryer!

-Place them in a plastic bag with

-baking soda and give it a shake.

-The soda removes the dust!

-You can make your own arrangement.

-It's a great addition to the room.

-We recently had an item about gifts

-for St Dwynwen's Day.

-You can watch that item again online

-via the iPlayer or Clic.

-Thank you, Carys.

-We're always delighted to be invited

-to your events...

-..and we recently attended a tasty

-event in Pumsaint near Lampeter.

-The new Pumsaint Cookery Club

-welcomed Daf Wyn, our crew...

-..and the Prynhawn Da cook, Lisa

-Fearn to a special afternoon tea.

-Dolau Cothi near Lampeter

-is famous for its gold mines...

-..but Pumsaint Village Hall held

-something of value a fortnight ago.

-You could enjoy a real feast

-at their special afternoon tea.

-Funds were donated to renovate

-the hall and they had crockery...

-..so we decided to put the crockery

-to use.

-A fortnight ago, we had an evening

-of cawl and music...

-..and that's followed

-by this afternoon tea.

-Tell us about this production line.

-We're filling the scones

-with cream and jam.

-Everyone has made something to bring

-some variety to our afternoon tea.

-You've certainly

-got plenty of variety.

-Do you enjoy an afternoon tea?

-Do you enjoy an afternoon tea?

-

-Yes, I like the traditional tea.

-These days, a lot of people enjoy

-smart teas with Prosecco.

-We haven't got to that stage yet!

-What do I need to do?

-This is some cheesecake

-so we'll keep that separate.

-What about the pancakes?

-How many do you want?

-I'll keep some for the crew

-so we'll have about ten!

-Whilst we prepare the plates

-for the afternoon tea...

-..the Prynhawn Da cook, Lisa Fearn

-prepares a St Dwynwen's Day menu.

-What's on this romantic menu?

-There's faggots and peas... no!

-There's some mocktails with orange

-juice, pineapple and Grenadine.

-I've got chocolate fondants

-with the liquid centres...

-..chocolate brownies

-with cherries...

-..and something less romantic in

-the homemade bread, bacon and syrup.

-The hall was full to bursting

-and all eyes were on Lisa.

-This is the same batch of dough

-made with 600g of flour.

-Can you see the difference?

-There was plenty

-of mouth-watering delicacies.

-It's exactly the same process

-as making brownies.

-Lisa rustled up a feast that was fit

-for a king and everyone had fun.

-How was it, Lisa?

-I need a coffee or a cocktail!

-No, the mocktail.

-It's gone well and everyone enjoyed

-the bread, bacon and syrup.

-What have you got? Cheesecake?

-Yes, and it's delicious.

-What will you have next?

-What will you have next?

-

-I need to try a bit of everything!

-The tea is wonderful and I haven't

-seen so much food in a long time.

-We've come from Aberaeron today.

-and into a new county?

-We're real Cardis over there!
