-Gwenno have been invited to become

-an ambassador for St David's Day.

-It's an international role.

-Tell us more about the role.

-I was disappointed...

-..that I wasn't made

-the ambassador for the universe!

-It's a wonderful title to hold.

-This is recognition of all the work

-I've been doing over the years...

-..in order to celebrate

-St David's Day.

-It's something that I treasure.

-We're all aware that our language

-is under threat.

-It's important for us

-to protect our nation.

-I've been promoting

-St David's Day events...

-..all over the world.

-We've got a procession

-in Carmarthen...

-..on Saturday for St David's Day.

-We held our first procession

-last year.

-It was a sweeping success.

-We've decided to make it

-an annual event.

-Last year, Delme Thomas,

-the former rugby player...

-..led the parade.

-This year, the parade is being

-led by three ladies...

-..namely myself,

-Mererid Hopwood and Fflur Dafydd.

-I'm delighted to see

-these celebrations.

-I started in 2005.

-There was a procession in 2004...

-..and I knew nothing about it.

-I jumped on-board...

-..and decided to promote

-these events.

-It's great to see some other parades

-across Wales.

-There's also a new banner.

-I'll be carrying the new banner...

-..that's designed by Eirian Davies.

-It contains bees and bridges.

-You can learn about the banner

-on our Facebook page.

-Nain is from Montgomeryshire.

-We've got a banner

-for that area too.

-The children will sing

-the St David's Day anthem.

-I took them to Heulwen Thomas.

-She wrote the melody for it.

-It's been performed

-all over the world...

-..from St Davids to America!

-It has also been published too.

-The procession is in Carmarthen

-on Saturday.

-It starts in the town park.

-Schools and groups can join us.

-This has helped the town's

-Welsh identity.

-I remember Carmarthen

-being quite Anglicized.

-Llanelli was the local Welsh town.

-The parade starts at 11.00am.

-Let's venture over to the catwalk

-with Huw and some trendy teachers.

-It's half term.

-The teachers and pupils

-are on holiday and relaxing.

-When you're on holiday...

-..you want clothes that are both

-practical and comfortable.

-We're looking

-at casual outfits today.

-At school, I think teachers

-wear a uniform themselves.

-Some schools welcome casual clothes

-on a Friday.

-There are clothes that

-you would wear to school.

-Hayley is our first model.

-I think the children could spot

-Hayley on the school yard...

-..with this yellow scarf.

-There's a baseball cap.

-It means she can throw it on...

-..without having to worry

-about brushing her hair!

-Hayley has been fussing

-with this sleeve.

-It does what it wants!

-This is a top with added sleeves.

-You will either love it or hate it.

-I don't think Hayley likes it.

-There's also tears on the jeans.

-What would the pupils think?

-The pupils don't see me like this.

-It's very comfortable apart

-from the sleeves!

-Hayley is a teacher

-at Ysgol Gyfun Ystalyfera.

-Dion is our next model.

-These are the same colours.

-The jacket, jumper t-shirt,

-jeans and shoes...

-..are all in the same tones.

-Dion's clothing is from TK Maxx.

-The shop sells a lot

-of these items...

-..for much less than

-the original price.

-The jacket costs 30

-and the jumper is 65.

-The t-shirt is priced 24.99

-and the trousers are 19.99.

-These prices are much cheaper than

-what you would originally pay.

-You need patience

-when shopping in TK Maxx.

-Go to TK Maxx when the shop is neat!

-How does it feel?

-The jacket is lovely and warm.

-I'm sweating!

-Let's welcome Nia.

-Nia's colours are similar

-to that outfit worn by Dion.

-I've gone a bit matchy-matchy today!

-There's the green in the shirt...

-..to match the jacket.

-The trousers are a winter white.

-I feel very posh!

-I usually wear flats.

-I teach drama.

-Nia teaches at Ysgol Garth Olwg.

-After the break,

-Dr Ann opens up her surgery.

-who has Osgood-Schlatter disease.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's time to open our surgery

-and join Dr Ann.

-She's also joined by Sara O'Connor.

-Welcome to you both.

-We're discussing

-Osgood-Schlatter disease...

-..which is a common condition in

-growing children and adolescents.

-But what exactly is it?

-It's a mouthful to say!

-It's a common cause of knee pain

-in children and youngsters.

-It's quite innocent.

-It was described by an American.

-Karl Schlatter

-wrote a paper about it.

-It was named after him.

-Osgood-Schlatter disease strikes

-active children and adolescents.

-The bones haven't strengthened

-at this point.

-This is the femur and tibia

-of a 16-year-old girl.

-There's a tendon.

-The tendon is attached to the knee.

-It affects the tibia,

-or top of the shinbone.

-It's an inflammation of the bone,

-cartilage or tendon at the shinbone.

-The cartilage hasn't strengthened.

-There's damage to the cartilage.

-Osgood-Schlatter disease

-is a painful knee injury.

-Sara is 13 years old.

-Yes, and I felt my knees clicking.

-I began playing hockey.

-The pain worsened.

-It was so painful that

-I couldn't put pressure on it.

-I told the doctor about it.

-Let's test the knee.

-It's painful there.

-I do carry out stretches

-and use an ice pack.

-You can also use gel packs.

-You don't need any medication.

-You simply rest.

-There's pain around the tibia.

-It can last up to a year.

-My pain has lasted for a year.

-You have to rest

-when the pain returns.

-My brother had this condition.

-A lump developed around the knee.

-This is quite common in boys.

-Boys suffer the same symptoms.

-You do grow out of this condition.

-It's involved with the body growing.

-The doctor told me

-to rest for a month.

-I've been told to stop playing

-hockey for now.

-I hope to get back to playing it.

-She sits upright too.

-She also plays the harp.

-You're an example to us.

-After the break...

-..our florist, Kevin Davies

-will be busy arranging daffodils.

-We also trace the history of

-Europe's oldest tipple, mead.

-But first, let's head to the break

-with some of your wintry snapshots.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back and welcome to Kevin.

-It's St David's Day in six days.

-We're looking at floral arrangements

-with daffodils as the focal feature.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Why is the daffodil so special?

-Daffodil are very colourful.

-There isn't a better colour.

-Once they are indoors...

-..they give off a lovely fragrance.

-There are many varieties of them.

-The ones that are here today

-are common and grow in the soil.

-We tend to buy them cut in shops.

-Many of them aren't in water.

-The reason for this

-is that they don't open.

-They don't tend to last long.

-They start to wither

-after a week or so.

-Many of our rooms in the house

-are warm are they won't last.

-They tend to last longer in soil.

-Daffodils will also droop

-when they are brought indoors.

-We've got some arrangements in jugs.

-You can see an illustration

-of Welsh ladies on this jug.

-I've used tete-a-tete daffodils.

-The purple colour is striking too.

-Storm Doris has hit us

-and blown twigs off the trees.

-Collect them around the garden...

-..and arrange them in a pot

-with daffodils.

-You can also use some oasis.

-The 'Pethe' sack reminds us

-of St David.

-He said "Do all the small things."

-It's a lovely display

-with tall twigs.

-The aroma in this studio

-is delightful.

-We will celebrate St David soon.

-Many of us will want place a topiary

-like this as a table centrepiece.

-You simple need a small pot

-from the garden.

-Insert a jam pot

-into the small garden pot.

-Place daffodils in the jam pot

-with some water.

-I love the smell of the daffodils.

-The aroma takes me back

-to my school days!

-Wrap the daffodil stems.

-Bind them with elastic bands.

-Wrap a bow around the stems.

-Decorate with some moss.

-It's a simple and effective display.

-It will last until St David's Day.

-Thank you, Kevin.

-We swap flowers for mead next.

-The beverage is affiliated with

-the era of Aneirin and Taliesin.

-This ancient drink is making

-its way back to our shop shelves.

-But what makes this tipple special?

-Mead, one of the oldest drinks in

-the world will be popular in 2017.

-It's golden colour and name

-suggests that it's made from honey.

-In Wales, many keep beehives to

-meet the demand for this ingredient.

-At Brynmair, we've got about a dozen

-to 20 beehives and I breed bees too.

-It starts in the spring where

-the population in the hives grow.

-We don't take the first batch

-of honey until mid summer.

-Many people make mead for family

-and friends but cannot sell it.

-I've seen it grow in popularity

-in the last ten years.

-Mead and the drinking of it

-is something traditional in Wales.

-Mead's links with Wales dates back

-to the 6th and 7th centuries...

-..to the Old North or Manaw Gododdin

-that saw the Battle of Catterick.

-We have a collection of early poetry

-called Y Gododdin by Aneirin.

-Mead is very important and

-is often mentioned in the poetry.

-The soldiers enjoyed a feast

-before they went into battle...

-..and this feast included mead.

-There's a classic quote:

-"Men went to Catraeth,

-swift was their host.

-"Fresh mead was their feast,

-their poison too."

-The word "mead" is used to refer

-to their feast.

-It was poisonous in that they were

-killed and they expected to die.

-Mead has flowed through our history

-throughout the centuries...

-..and it's wonderful to see it

-being sold in Wales once again.

-This sweet, intoxicating drink

-has survived the centuries...

-..but how popular is it in Wales

-and further afield these days?

-We sell a lot of Welsh produce such

-as beer, wine and liqueurs and mead.

-Traditional mead

-is simply fermented honey.

-You can also have mead with whiskey

-and a sparkling mead.

-We start by mixing honey, sugar,

-water and a touch of apple.

-This is left in a warm room

-for it to ferment.

-After six months of maturing...

-..it's ready to be bottled,

-labelled and sold.

-When we host events at universities,

-the students enjoy the mead...

-..thanks to films such as

-Game of Thrones and Harry Potter.

-We've had a few bottles at Brynmair

-but they always leave empty!

-It's great to be able

-to buy it in shops...

-..and not rely on gifts from friends

-who make their own mead.

-Close your eyes, take a sip

-and you can taste the honey.

-Cheers!

-That's given me a thirst!

-It's time for us to sample

-the latest mead on the market.

-Llinos from Heno has joined us

-to sample some mead.

-I don't like it!

-I can't describe what it is!

-What's on offer on tonight's Heno?

-Gerallt reports live from

-Galeri, Caernarfon tonight.

-He attends the 2017 Pics

-Film Festival awards ceremony.

-Teleri Glyn Jones

-joins me for a chat on the sofa.

-Teleri discusses a new political

-series on S4C called O'r Senedd.

-Rhodri Davies enjoys a chat with

-the stand-up comedian, Elis James.

-We display more of your wintry

-photos ahead of Friday's judging.

-The closing date is tomorrow.

-presentation.

-to Huw in the fashion corner.
