-Hello and welcome

-to Thursday's Prynhawn Da.

-Last night, Cardiff University

-played Swansea University...

-..in the Welsh Varsity Tournament

-at the Principality Stadium.

-Congratulations to my old college

-of Cardiff for winning the match.

-We also congratulate the success

-of the local newspapers in Wales.

-Elin Meek from the local newspaper

-of Swansea, Wilia tells us more.

-This is what else we have for you.

-Huw's joined by ladies of Merched

-y Wawr from South-East Wales.

-We hear about running a business

-from home with the company, Taclus.

-Meinir Ann Thomas

-from Rhydargaeau...

-..and Gwyn Evans from the charity,

-Cruse, join us to discuss grief.

-Ammanford's Randal Isaac tells us

-what inspired him to start woodwork.

-Join Owain and me for all this over

-the next 50 minutes on Prynhawn Da.

-We start the programme

-with Elin Meek...

-..who works on the local newspaper

-in Swansea.

-Local newspapers are a success story

-for the Welsh press...

-..with a monthly distribution

-around Wales of about 50,000 copies.

-This is quite unusual

-in this day and age...

-..when the circulation

-of newspapers is on the decline.

-Elin Meek, welcome to the programme.

-What's the secret of the success

-of these local newspapers?

-A local newspaper

-is a chronicle of history...

-..and people want to know

-about various events...

-..in their local vicinity.

-The local newspaper for the

-Swansea area is known as Wilia.

-You are the editor of the newspaper.

-Yes, I believe Wilia is going

-to be celebrating 40 years.

-Heini Gruffudd

-has been there since the start.

-We'll have published

-400 papers this year.

-What does "Wilia" mean?

-Wilia is the word in the

-Swansea dialect for talking.

-It involves a lot of work.

-We're lucky to have

-various contributors.

-Some of them are school children.

-We collect all the material.

-It's either sent via

-a Word file or using a Jpeg.

-They are printed...

-..and we distribute them.

-The success comes

-from the local stories.

-I think in Swansea...

-..we have a lot of families...

-..but these days,

-we have a lot of Welsh learners.

-Wilia is like a historical record...

-..for the Swansea area.

-It helps to boost the local dialect.

-I don't know if we use

-a lot of the local dialect...

-..but we try to publish

-everything that reaches us.

-Wilia started in 1977...

-..but the area now has two.

-You also print in colour now.

-We like our contributors

-to send us photographs...

-..and they come to life

-in the coloured publications.

-Social media and the Internet

-has affected a lot of newspapers.

-The Wilia local newspaper...

-..is the work of the Welsh Language

-Initiative in Swansea.

-You can find copies

-from the past on the website.

-We do get help with funding

-the newspaper...

-..from the Welsh government.

-Is it difficult to find volunteers?

-It's always difficult

-to find new volunteers.

-We should have more volunteers.

-I think I'm the youngest

-at the moment.

-I hope younger people jump

-on board soon!

-I've been doing it for 20 years.

-Do you work with

-other local newspapers?

-I do look at various

-local newspapers.

-There are national meetings.

-People often share information.

-We keep an eye on the Llais

-which is the local newspaper...

-..for the Cwmtawe area.

-We all share information.

-We hope to strive

-into the future confidently!

-Next, we step onto the

-Prynhawn Da catwalk with Huw.

-He's been shopping for ladies from

-Merched y Wawr in South-East Wales.

-What did you find, Huw?

-These ladies have been shocked.

-This isn't a makeover.

-They are here to model.

-I have to tell them what to wear!

-A lot of them are quite shocked.

-Dennis is Eluned's husband.

-He's a fashion expert!

-He told Eluned not to wear black.

-The theme today is to avoid

-any black.

-What do you usual wear?

-I normally wear black trousers...

-..with a jumper.

-The jumper is normally dark.

-In the summer, I venture into navy.

-I like dark colours.

-I had to please Dennis...

-..so I've gone to the other extreme.

-She looked very smart

-when she arrived...

-..but I've opted for

-the grey leather jacket.

-The dress is 45 from Monsoon.

-This dress resembles silk.

-It isn't silk.

-This means it can be washed easily.

-You can wear it with trousers

-at the moment...

-..or go without trousers

-later in the summer.

-The linen trousers

-are better quality.

-We went to Clarks for the sandals.

-Clarks is quite fashionable

-these days.

-They use Italian leather.

-Cath is our next model.

-She's from Cowbridge.

-This is a very casual look.

-I couldn't get in touch with Cath.

-I've gone for this jacket...

-..which is the best-selling coat...

-..on the flagship store of

-Marks and Spencer on Oxford Street.

-It's great for all sorts of things.

-I like this outfit.

-I would definitely wear it.

-I'm surprised Huw

-found something I'd wear.

-Cath just held her own fashion show

-in her home.

-What was it like?

-It was with the collection

-from Kathy Gittins.

-It was a fund-raising event.

-I wasn't invited!

-We close with Shan.

-Welcome to the programme, Shan.

-Shan is from Cardiff.

-Shan is very active

-in her branch of Merched y Wawr.

-I've opted for navy.

-There's a lot of navy

-on the high street.

-People opt for bright colours

-in the summer.

-Dark colours are very popular

-on the continent...

-..in the sunshine.

-I've played with textures...

-..and chosen timeless pieces.

-The bomber jackets are everywhere.

-Bomber jackets are everywhere.

-There's some lovely details

-on the blouse.

-We've got some

-white tailored trousers.

-A lot of people ask

-if it's acceptable...

-..to wear white trousers

-for a wedding.

-It's fine!

-I'm happy with this.

-These fit like a glove!

-After the break, we learn about

-the cleaning company, Taclus...

-..and hear about running a business

-from your home.

-Meinir Ann Thomas from Rhydargaeau

-chats about dealing with grief.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Llinos Lee from the Heno team

-has joined us in the studio.

-Welcome to the programme.

-What have you got for us

-on tonight's Heno, Llinos?

-edition of Heno at 7.00pm.

-We celebrate the first year

-of Caffi Siop Mechell...

-..which is a community venture

-in Llanfechell.

-The cafe is on Anglesey.

-Owain has an interesting story...

-in popularity in Wales.

-What is it, Owain?

-It's American football!

-I'm still sore from playing

-American football.

-My studio guest is the singer

-and presenter, Gwawr Edwards.

-Gwawr features in a special

-documentary on S4C...

-..that remembers the late musician

-and conductor, Sioned James.

-Over the coming weeks, we'll meet

-some viewers who work from home.

-Many have turned their homes

-into their office or workshop.

-Our first lady works from home

-but also in the homes of others.

-We got some cleaning tips when we

-met Nerys Williams from Llangennech.

-I worked in a pharmacy

-for many years but wanted a change.

-The plan was to spend more time with

-the children but it hasn't happened!

-A friend told me to start a cleaning

-business as I'm a bit obsessed.

-I didn't think it was a bad idea

-so I established Taclus.

-I work from top to bottom but

-every home and client are different.

-Clean to one person

-could be filthy to the next!

-I like to go the extra mile.

-I bring flowers on my first visit.

-It's an ice breaker

-and a nice touch.

-In the build up to Christmas,

-I had over 30 homes in one week.

-People use Twitter and Facebook and

-it's great to promote your business.

-Their feedback makes my job easier.

-There's a rating system and I get

-to meet a lot of people like that.

-Taclus is successful because

-I'm always ahead of the game.

-I always do my research

-but you need to be cautious too.

-in my own home first.

-It doesn't matter if I ruin

-something in my own home!

-My first top tip is quite unusual as

-I put cool and weak tea in a spray.

-It's applied to a lint-free cloth

-to clean the mirror.

-The tannic acid in the tea helps

-to prevent streaks and it's amazing!

-Finish it by buffing it with either

-newspaper or a coffee filter.

-I love this next tip as it's great

-if you have small children like me.

-They drop Lego or I lose jewellery

-and I don't want them up the hoover.

-Cut up an old pair of tights

-on the thickest part...

-..put it over the pipe and attach it

-with a bobble or elastic band.

-It picks up the Lego or jewellery

-but it won't go up the hoover.

-This is a device

-to help you fold your clothes.

-It can be bought online

-and comes in an array of sizes.

-I'm using a larger one to fold this

-t-shirt so prepare to be amazed!

-One, two, three and that

-takes the stress out of folding.

-I've got another lovely tip

-to help your flowers last longer.

-I've got a teaspoon of salt.

-salt and give it a little shake.

-Another tip that you might not

-have heard about before...

-..is to place your toothbrushes

-in the dishwasher.

-You don't need a tablet

-but set it at 40 to 60 degrees...

-..so the water is hot enough

-to kill any germs or bacteria.

-I love it and I'll be going to clean

-after you've gone!

-Next, we turn our attention to grief

-and the process of grieving.

-Many of us have lost a much-loved

-friend or family member...

-..and struggle to cope or are unable

-to deal with the array of emotions.

-The BBC aired a programme

-on the topic...

-..with the Manchester United and

-England footballer, Rio Ferdinand.

-I had an unbelievable life, an

-amazing wife, great kids but bang.

-The moment Rebecca was diagnosed

-with cancer - that all changed.

-"To Mummy,

-I wish you came alive. From Tia."

-You should write "Mummy's

-favourite colour was green."

-That's why she's got a green dress

-and you might forget.

-I'll write it with the green.

-I'll write it with the green.

-

-Otherwise, you might forget.

-That was Rio Ferdinand discussing

-his experiences of loss.

-I lost my father

-when I was a baby...

-..I'm humbled that Meinir Ann Thomas

-from Rhydargaeau joins us...

-..as she lost her mother

-when she was ten.

-We're also joined by Gwyn Evans,

-from Cruse Bereavement Care.

-Welcome to you both.

-What are your memories

-of your mother, Meinir?

-I recall when I was nine and I was

-in my final year at primary school.

-My mother found spots on the bottom

-of her neck.

-My father took her to the doctor.

-I came home from school one day.

-My mother was upstairs and was ill.

-The ambulance rushed to her

-She was in the high dependency ward

-at the hospital.

-I thought she would get better.

-I was with my grandparents one day.

-I was picked up and went home.

-My father had come home from

-the hospital to say that she died.

-I couldn't deal with it.

-I suffered from depression.

-I've got over it now.

-But it has left a mark on my life.

-I find it hard to talk about

-my father.

-Do you struggle to talk about it?

-I feel it's good to talk to friends

-and a loved-one.

-They talk about their memories

-and this makes me feel better.

-Dad is a real man when it comes to

-talking about his emotions.

-I'm close to my father.

-Meinir's story is familiar to us.

-It's difficult to talk

-to some members of the family.

-They don't want to talk...

-..so we offer a room for an hour

-for free.

-You can get it all out in this room.

-These people don't know us

-and won't mind to let it out.

-It's a start for the person

-to grieve.

-But we try to find an answer

-that works for you.

-It's a shock to the system.

-It's all part of the process.

-The singer, Tom Jones

-has spoken openly...

-..about how he dealt with

-the death of his wife.

-I'm glad that he has confessed that

-he has gone through a tough time...

-..and he needed help.

-are two different things.

-You don't need medication

-for grieving.

-Rio said that he didn't know

-how to grieve.

-It can build up.

-Many people find that their children

-will fly the nest...

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-I have to admit that I'm not

-very good with my hands.

-Our next guest is proof

-that anything is possible...

-..as he set about learning a craft

-following his retirement.

-Randal Isaac,

-welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Where did it all start?

-It started 14 years ago.

-I was working on P'nawn Da.

-I had the chance to go

-on a woodwork course.

-Lyn who taught me sadly passed away.

-Lyn was a massive inspiration.

-Let's see Randal in action in one

-of his features for P'nawn Da.

-What are we doing this week?

-What are we doing this week?

-

-Decking.

-Everyone wants decking and people do

-it on all the television programmes.

-These blocks show the distance

-between each section.

-We can place two brackets

-on the back and attach them.

-That's it.

-Let's lift this up

-and put it in the corner behind you.

-This corner piece goes on our

-decking to house a flower pot.

-We're missing something.

-What happened to that wine bottle

-you had earlier?

-Come with me and I'll get it.

-Come with me and I'll get it.

-

-Wonderful.

-Cheers!

-You still have that decking.

-Yes, the decking is still with me.

-We finished each item

-with a glass of wine!

-We need to reintroduce it!

-Tell us about the pieces you've

-made.

-I've got a selection

-of my craftwork here.

-I like rugby and wine.

-I wanted a bottle of wine to hand.

-I don't have to move!

-It's a flower pot at home now.

-It took two hours a night

-over a period of a fortnight...

-..to make that table.

-I went to a grammar school.

-There wasn't any woodwork available.

-I felt that I'd missed out.

-After working with Lyn,

-I started a night course.

-These are the fruits of my labour.

-I've also made these stools

-for my grandchildren.

-These are a favourite!

-This is an item for a nut cracker.

-There's also a clock

-and fruit bowls.

-I use a variety of wood.

-Sycamore is great for holding fruit.

-This next device is great.

-The idea came from New Zealand.

-I'm really pleased with it.

-It's from Guernsey.

-You have to have the correct angles.

-We're back on the catwalk for

-the final part of the programme.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-We close today's programme on the

-Prynhawn Da catwalk with Huw...

-..and the ladies of Merched y Wawr

-from South-East Wales.

-The ladies are relaxed.

-They got the first half

-out of the way.

-We start with Eluned.

-I have to talk about the bag.

-It's huge!

-Big bags are very fashionable.

-This bag is full of texture.

-The bag is 45 from Clarks.

-It looks like it could be

-from Morocco.

-I thought it suits Eluned...

-..as she likes to travel.

-I've bee to India,

-Peru and Cambodia.

-This is very comfortable.

-it's a great bag to carry.

-You can put a lot of things in it.

-You can put me in it!

-Everyone who carries

-a big bag loses items!

-The dress is 59 from Monsoon.

-It's very simple.

-It lacks hanger appeal...

-..but it looks great on the body.

-Eluned had a choice of shoes.

-She chose the orange.

-We did have some cream shoes too.

-I'm told she wears bright colours

-when she's on holiday.

-Next, we have Cath.

-There's some pattern here.

-The viewers might not see this

-at home.

-Cath is very short.

-The trousers

-are from the petite range...

-..but she wanted flat shoes...

-..so the trousers look very long.

-There's a lot of orange

-on the high street.

-I'm hoping for some sunshine.

-We've got another blouse-on.

-It's something that's being

-sold all over the high street.

-There's a lovely lace blouse.

-The camisole is part of the blouse.

-The pattern in the trousers

-is the stand out garment.

-You are busy person in your branch.

-Yes, the Merched y Wawr

-has been very busy.

-We've got more fashion next week.

-We're meeting Bethan Jones

-from Cowbridge.

-I've got a fashion show

-in Bridgend.

-Yvonne is coming too.

-Cath will be in the audience.

-It's great to have

-these fund-raising events...

-..for the local Eisteddfods.

-We close with Shan.

-Shan is also very busy too.

-What have you been doing?

-We had a spring festival for

-the Merched y Wawr in Cardiff.

-We had over 50 members.

-There was a lot of local produce.

-We enjoyed an afternoon tea too.

-What do you usually wear?

-I tend to wear more

-of these sorts of clothes.

-A quilted jacket is always ideal.

-Time is beating us!

-Have the ladies been happy?

-I hope they are happy.

-Until tomorrow, it's a very

-good afternoon to you all.
