-I'm from Eglwyswrw originally.

-I live in Llandeilo at the moment.

-I was raised on a farm.

-I work as a town and country planner

-with Pembrokeshire National Park.

-I would like a makeover because

-I'm getting married in October.

-before my own wedding in October.

-I want to look fresh from them.

-I'm getting married on 7 October.

-I've got the dress already.

-I want a new look for the weddings

-leading up to my wedding.

-You do a lot with the YFC.

-I'm a member of the Eglwyswrw YFC.

-I'm a former chair

-of the YFC Club in Eglwyswrw.

-The club is celebrating 60 years.

-Glyndwr Fon was the first chair

-of the club.

-He started it all off.

-Many events were held

-for the celebrations.

-Former members joined us for chats

-and there were many dinners.

-We even had a barn dance!

-I was expecting my son, Hari

-at the time.

-I worked behind the bar there.

-At the farm in Maesyderi,

-we keep turkeys on the farm.

-We farm them for Christmas.

-You can see Daf Wyn paid us

-a visit on the farm.

-Do you feel that your style has

-changed since becoming a mother?

-My style has changed

-since becoming a mother.

-It's a lot more practical.

-I tend to wear boots and jeans.

-I do like to dress up for weddings

-and wear a fascinator.

-I don't wear a lot of make-up.

-I'm open to any ideas from Huw and

-the team.

-It can be difficult

-to choose your meals every night...

-..as you race home from work, make

-supper and put children to bed.

-The chef, Matthew Guy has a series

-of quick, easy and tasty dishes.

-This is Food In Fifty Seconds!

-On the menu today,

-we've got a warm salmon salad.

-We start with the dressing.

-Take a tablespoon of mustard

-After the break, Wyn Williams

-chats about a new project...

-..about the possibilities you get

-from using Welsh in the workplace.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Our next guest is Wyn Williams

-or Dai Lingual to his Twitter fans.

-Wyn has joined us to chat about

-a new project...

-..that's touring schools in Wales

-called #UnWladDwyIaith

-Welcome to the programme, Wyn.

-Tell us more about this project.

-#UnWladDwyiaith

-is the theme of a new project.

-The aim is to give new opportunities

-for using the Welsh language.

-We want to promote it in a new way.

-I've worked in English

-and want to show that it's great...

-..to work in Welsh.

-We want to go into schools.

-Let's hear what some pupils have

-to say about studying in Wales.

-I hope to go to Cardiff

-to study Welsh and Journalism...

-..because Cardiff

-has a strong Welsh department.

-I hope to study Politics.

-It would be convenient to study

-it in Welsh...

-..but I don't think Wales has the

-same quality of courses...

-..as you would find in England

-and Scotland.

-I hope to go to Cardiff University

-to study Politics...

-..because the department

-is renowned.

-I'd like to study in Welsh

-but it isn't available.

-I'd like to stay in Wales...

-..because I've had a Welsh medium

-education since I started school.

-I should have the same skills

-and be just as successful...

-..whether I was studying

-in Cardiff or London.

-What is the general response?

-We want more schools

-as part of the project.

-We want to provide opportunities.

-We want to assist PTAs at schools.

-There have been complaints

-about leisure centres...

-..that aren't bilingual.

-We want people to see

-the worth in the Welsh language.

-Hopefully, they will choose

-to use it in the long run.

-Many young people don't know

-how to use Welsh in the long run.

-We want people to reconsider

-learning in the Welsh language.

-It's important that we promote

-courses at universities...

-..that are in Welsh language.

-I work across the country.

-My wife is Irish and I speak English

-at home.

-Welsh is my main language

-of the workplace.

-It's important to ask questions

-in Welsh and use the language.

-Let's hear how children

-use social media in their lives.

-I communicate in Welsh on Facebook

-as I've changed the settings.

-I've got a lot of family on

-Facebook who also speak Welsh.

-My Facebook setting is Welsh

-but I don't post messages in Welsh.

-My Facebook page is in English

-as Welsh doesn't make a difference.

-I may write the odd status in Welsh,

-but I don't post a lot of them.

-Recently, there's more Welsh

-language pages like Sianel Pump.

-There's more Welsh language content

-on social media.

-I don't have a lot of Welsh

-in my history.

-People who post things in Welsh

-try to appeal to a wider audience.

-In order to achieve this,

-you have to do it in English.

-There isn't a lot of Welsh

-as most of it is in English.

-There should be more

-advertisements in Welsh.

-We want to make more people aware

-of what the language has to offer.

-Thanks to the children of Bryntawe.

-A lot of people don't use a lot of

-the Welsh language online.

-Sianel Pump is a great channel

-on social media.

-Young people use both languages

-online.

-If you use Welsh online...

-..you are likely

-to speak it outside.

-We want to create communities.

-There are so many positives

-for young people for using Welsh.

-I'm touring the country with this

-new project over the coming weeks.

-Visit the website for more details

-of the tour.

-You can also follow #UnWladDwyIaith

-We want to work at creating

-a local newspaper.

-The children in Llangennech...

-..have been given a

-chance with the language.

-Thank you, Wyn.

-Carys Vaughan

-is enjoying a makeover today.

-The team's been busy for 15 minutes

-so let's have an update from Huw.

-Everything is going great

-and Carys is having fun.

-Carys wants to wear a fascinator

-to one of her weddings.

-How does it stay in the hair?

-A fascinator with a banding is great

-but there are also ones with clips.

-You need to backcomb your hair

-if you wear a clipped fascinator.

-The first step

-is to section the hair.

-Nobody can see the clip then.

-It'll be concealed and the

-comb or clip will be fastened.

-It's like wearing a wedding veil.

-Position the fascinator

-at the centre of the head.

-Ensure the band isn't exposed.

-Do you conceal the band?

-Some people conceal it with hair,

-but others don't bother.

-But with bob hairstyles,

-it looks nicer when concealed.

-We'll leave it on your head

-whilst Patricia offers her advice.

-Do women wear different make-up to

-a wedding compared to a night out?

-It's possible that they do this.

-But it depends on the look they

-want to achieve and their attire.

-Bridal party members should

-wear long-lasting make-up...

-..that looks great in photographs.

-I've got a few ideas here for Carys.

-Carys doesn't wear a lot of make-up.

-She's busy with the turkeys!

-Carys has a natural look and doesn't

-wear any foundation or moisturizer.

-Use products like this for going

-to a wedding or your own wedding.

-You can buy them at various places

-and vary in price from 5 to 20.

-These products set the make-up.

-Apply your make-up, spray it

-and it will to last for 24 hours.

-It's like super glue

-for a make-up artist.

-You can also opt for a foundation

-that lasts for 24 hours.

-Will you be wearing make-up

-on your wedding day?

-Yes, I will.

-Will you get some advice beforehand,

-or have an artist come to the house?

-I'll appoint a make-up artist on

-the day so it makes life easier.

-Do you assist with the fitting of

-the veil on someone's wedding day?

-I always make sure that the hair

-and veil are perfect on the head.

-I can't promise that Carys will be

-wearing this fascinator later...

-..but will ready for her weddings

-when she returns to the studio.

-We look forward to revealing

-the results later in the programme.

-After the break, Eurgain Haf chats

-about a new book of short stories.

-Ieuan is in the garden and helps

-with your horticultural hang-ups!

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's time to open the covers

-of our Book Club...

-..to discuss a book of short stories

-called O, Mam Bach!

-Eurgain Haf is one of the authors

-of those stories...

-..and she joins us

-with her daughter, Lois Rhodd.

-The book pays tribute to a special

-person in our lives - our mother.

-It's great timing as Mother's Day

-is on the horizon...

-..so this would be a perfect gift

-for every mother.

-Gwasg y Bwthyn has published it

-in time and hope it sells well.

-I've scanned through the stories.

-Some are by prolific authors whilst

-others are making their debut.

-Yes, there are 13 authors.

-They include Angharad Tomos, Haf

-Llewelyn and Manon Steffan Ros...

-..as well as authors who have put

-pen to paper for the first time...

-..such as Catrin Lliar Jones.

-Sian James is a famous singer and

-has published an autobiography...

-..but has also written

-for this book.

-Every story

-is linked with the mother.

-Yes, the mother is the most

-important person in our lives.

-Every author had free rein in terms

-of writing about the mother.

-This book is full of short stories

-on an array of topics.

-Every author chose

-a different route to follow.

-Some talk about being a mother and

-what it was like to give birth...

-..and when the final child

-flies the nest!

-Others mentioned their own mothers.

-There's a real mixture of both happy

-and sad stories.

-Catrin Lliar's tale of breastfeeding

-at the Eisteddfod was hilarious!

-There are also stories

-that pull at the heart strings.

-Marred Glynn chats about

-the last time she saw her mother...

-..and there's a story

-about losing a child.

-These are short stories that take

-five to ten minutes to read.

-Your story is the last in the book

-and I cried when I read it.

-I had to think long and hard about

-sharing such a personal story...

-..which is the journey I took

-to becoming a mother.

-It took 15 years and I did question

-whether it would happen or not.

-I'd taken it for granted

-that I would be a mother...

-..but when I reached 40, I did

-wonder whether it would be possible.

-I talk about the physical

-and emotional journey of having IVF.

-It's a sensitive issue for you,

-your partner and many people.

-Was it difficult

-to put this story on paper?

-It was very difficult.

-I told the editor that writing the

-story would either be impossible...

-..or it would all come out in one go

-and that's how it happened.

-It was quite cathartic to put

-pen to paper and write about this.

-I hope that sharing my story brings

-hope to people in that situation.

-Becoming a mother doesn't mean

-giving birth physically.

-You have this longing to care

-and give someone unconditional love.

-I first became a mother

-when we adopted a child...

-..and this released

-the mother within.

-It brought so much happiness

-that another miracle happened...

-..and Lois joined Cian in our lives.

-You fell pregnant naturally.

-You fell pregnant naturally.

-

-Yes, and this was after 15 years.

-Lois became Cian's little sister.

-She has a wonderful

-and significant name too.

-It's an amazing story

-and you've had quite a journey.

-Yes, and I thought this book was

-the ideal place to share my story.

-Every mother has a story

-of how they became mothers.

-You get these unique experiences

-from the authors in this book.

-Mothers are busy so can read a story

-when they have a spare five minutes.

-We all know that mothers

-are very busy...

-..so they can read one story whilst

-a young child is having a nap.

-If you're the taxi driver and

-sitting outside piano lessons...

-..you could pick up the book

-and read a story.

-You can think about it

-before moving to the next story.

-We're delighted that your story

-had a happy ending.

-The books is published

-by Gwasg y Bwthyn and priced at 8.

-It's the start of your journey

-so good luck to you.

-Next, we venture outdoors as Ieuan

-answers your gardening questions.

-Celeriac is an edible vegetable and

-isn't as popular as it should be...

-..partly because of its dishevelled

-appearance and is expensive to buy.

-It tastes similar to celery, is

-easier to grow, and more versatile.

-You can roast, boil, mash,

-or serve it with potatoes.

-It's also the perfect addition

-to Welsh cawl.

-The plants require

-a long growth period.

-For substantial roots, you need to

-sow inside in March in the warmth.

-Plant them outside in May or June.

-Sow them in some seed compost with

-three to four seeds in each cell.

-Remove when they've sprouted and

-leave the strongest to flourish.

-Cover them with a clear lid

-and allow to grow in 15-20C.

-Our first gardening question of

-the year has reached us via email.

-"Last year, we had a generous crop

-of Kestrel potatoes in the garden."

-"A perfect potato on the outside but

-it's a different story when peeled."

-"Around 75% of the potatoes

-are like this."

-"What's causing the problem

-as it's such a waste?"

-I've experienced potatoes like this

-over the years.

-The term for it is

-vascular discoloration.

-There's more than one cause

-to this problem.

-Fungus may have infected the plant

-and caused the stalk to rot...

-..and reduce the crop size.

-It's unlikely in this case

-as you've grown a generous crop.

-Another possibility is a virus

-such as potato leafroll virus.

-And as the name suggests,

-it causes the leaves to roll up.

-I've spotted this on stalks

-over the years.

-But you didn't foresee it happening.

-The solution is to spray them

-with insecticide.

-It kills potato aphid insects

-that carry and spread the virus.

-There's another possibility however

-it has nothing to do with diseases.

-The soil could lack moisture

-in the final weeks of growth...

-..when the potato swells the most.

-This is when

-they're more sensitive to drought.

-The vascular system fails,

-deteriorates and forms dark stains.

-The condition is made worse

-if the temperature is high.

-The answer is simple - water well

-two to three weeks before harvest.

-And there we go, I hope you'll have

-better fun growing spuds this year.

-Thanks to Ieuan

-for his useful advice.

-Llinos Lee from the Heno team

-has joined us in the studio.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Join me for another jam-packed

-edition of Heno at 7.00pm.

-Daf Wyn ventures to the two Michelin

-Star Gidleigh Park...

-..to chat with the Welsh chef,

-Steffan Davies.

-Steffan Davies won the Junior Chef

-of Wales 2017 competition.

-Steffan has cooked for us

-on Prynhawn Da.

-My studio guest is Zack Davies,

-a boxer from Carmarthenshire.

-He stars in a new S4C series.

-Gerallt views the latest exhibition

-by the artist, Paul Eastwood.

-You could surprise your mother

-by winning our competition...

-..and the prize is a wonderful

-hamper of beautiful products.

-After the break, Alison Huw chats

-about the importance of water.

-Let's hope Carys Vaughan looks

-better than me after her makeover!

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back to the final part

-of today's Prynhawn Da.

-Alison Huw has joined us today...

-..to chat about the importance of

-water and how to get it in our diet.

-Welcome to the programme, Alison.

-How important is it to drink water?

-Life as we know it depends on water.

-Our bodies are made up of 70% water.

-Water helps our brains

-to work effectively.

-Water can affect everything

-from our energy levels...

-..to our ability to concentrate.

-On average, women should drink

-about two litres of water a day...

-..and men need about

-2.5 litres of water a day...

-..which is about ten glasses

-of water a day.

-If you're feeling thirsty...

-..then this is the body's way

-to tell you to drink water.

-Some people will feel hungry.

-Drinking a glass of water

-before each meal...

-..is a good way to ensure

-that we're not eating too much.

-You should start each day with a

-glass of water.

-If you can't face

-a cold glass of water...

-..you could have warm water

-with a slice of lemon or ginger.

-There are plenty of other options

-available...

-..if you don't like the taste

-of plain water.

-You can buy bottles with a section

-that holds fruit or vegetables...

-..that will add flavour

-to the water.

-Adding fruit will add flavour to the

-water without adding extra sugar.

-Drinking just water

-isn't essential...

-..because all liquids count,

-even tea and coffee.

-Drinks such as tea and coffee

-do contain caffeine...

-..and some fruit juices

-are high in sugar...

-..which means that the body

-will lose excess water...

-..so it's important

-to drink water too.

-There's an array of apps that can

-help with your water intake...

-..and these are especially good

-if you do a lot of exercise.

-Drink regularly all through the day.

-You can enjoy fruit or vegetables

-that have a high water content.

-You don't need to drink

-the two litres of water in one go.

-Eat snacks that are high

-in water content...

-..such as cucumber, celery, grapes

-and watermelon.

-A bowl of thin soup

-will have a high water content.

-Make your own stock

-from a carcass or bones...

-..as it's healthier and will contain

-less salt.

-You've got a cocktail for us.

-It's made from watermelon.

-Let's try it.

-Milk also has

-a high content of water.

-It's important to drink water...

-..when you're working in a

-warm place.

-What milk should we drink?

-Opt for semi-skimmed

-or skimmed milk...

-..if you drink the white stuff

-regularly.

-Milk also gives you some calcium.

-This cocktail is delicious.

-It's so easy if you have

-a liquidizer.

-The makeover team has been working

-non-stop to pamper Carys Vaughan.

-Before we reveal her new look...

-..Huw can remind us

-of how she looked earlier.

-Carys arrived and wasn't in

-a suitable outfit for a wedding...

-..so she really needed a makeover!

-She was wearing a smock with

-a pinafore design and a t-shirt.

-Her tan shoes

-were very practical...

-..and didn't really match

-the corduroy.

-Today, we want a tone-on-tone style

-that matches perfectly.

-Let's take a look at Carys now.

-Wow!

-You look incredible.

-How do you feel, Carys?

-I feel fantastic.

-It's wonderful.

-I'd never normally wear something

-like this.

-Tell us about the clothes, Huw.

-This is a vintage look.

-If you have a wedding...

-..people keep thinking

-that it's going to be expensive.

-The hat is from Accessorize.

-The dress is from Marks and Spencer.

-It's a great dress.

-All ages can wear something

-from Marks and Spencer.

-I think the dress was about 35.

-It comes with the belt.

-You could opt for a black hat

-and bag...

-..but we opted for the cream.

-You should also choose a shoe that

-looks as if it's from the 1950s.

-What did you do with the hair, Ruth?

-I've trimmed the hair.

-It's quite short

-so I thought we'd tie it up.

-It's a simple up-do.

-Ruth made that sound simple.

-Patricia can tell us more

-about the make-up.

-We've opted for an Audrey Hepburn

-look with the hair and make-up.

-There's a black line

-around the eyes.

-We had to choose the red lips too.

-You like a large fascinator.

-Yes, I do.

-I hope I can recreate it.

-Good luck with the weddings

-and your own wedding too.

-Prynhawn Da returns tomorrow

-at the usual time of 2.00pm.

-What have you got for us tomorrow?

-Tomorrow, I'll have monochrome

-and a splash of colour.

-Join Aled Sam

-after the news and weather on S4C...

-..as he looks at the Snowdonia House

-in Cartrefi Cefn Gwlad Cymru.

-Until tomorrow, it's a very

-good afternoon to you all.
