-Hello and how are you?

-We're coming to you live from

-Llanelli for the next 50 minutes.

-This is what we've got for you.

-Ieuan is in the garden to pick

-the carrots he planted this summer.

-Eirian Jones discusses Diabetes Day

-and living with condition.

-Kevin shows us floral displays

-for vases of all shapes and size.

-Ewan Rees chats about moving back

-to West Wales to start a business.

-Stay tuned to us both

-for today's Prynhawn Da.

-First, we meet a very lucky lady

-who is receiving a makeover today.

-Delyth Simons,

-welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Tell us more about yourself.

-I'm from Pembrokeshire.

-I've always lived in the area.

-I live on a farm in Narberth...

-..but work as a pharmacist

-from day to day.

-I've been a pharmacist for 30 years.

-I work for the Hywel Dda

-Health Board...

-..so serve the hospitals

-around Carmarthenshire.

-I've also got a dairy farm.

-We've got about 100 cows.

-I've got two daughters.

-They love their horses too.

-They have had success

-with the horses...

-..and been named Horse of the Year.

-They dress their horses

-as teddies too!

-It's a lot of fun.

-My husband pays for the horses...

-..whilst I do

-all the driving around.

-We saw a photograph of the horses

-on the beach at Newgale.

-It's great for them.

-It's excellent for their health.

-You look great.

-Do you wear an uniform for work?

-No, I don't wear an uniform.

-I try to look smart from day to day.

-I don't know about

-having time to pamper myself.

-I always have my nails done.

-I wash my hair and it dries

-on the way to work in the car!

-I tend to stick to the same clothes.

-It'll be interesting to see

-what Huw has chosen for me.

-I don't have any special events

-for this makeover.

-I was meant to be here a year ago.

-I couldn't make it as I was

-having an operation on my knee.

-My knee is much better now!

-Enjoy your day with us.

-Next, Ieuan picks the carrots that

-he planted in the early summer.

-In June, I sowed some carrot seeds

-known as autumn king...

-..that develop large roots

-and can be stored easily.

-I've protected them from carrot fly

-with this cover...

-..and they are ready to be harvested

-and stored.

-In the gardening world, various

-sources give different advice...

-..such as dealing

-with a crop of carrots.

-I'll take you through the steps

-and give explanations of my method.

-One option is to leave the crop

-in the soil...

-..and pick them from the soil

-as and when you need them...

-..but there are many problems

-with this method.

-It gives snails more of an

-opportunity to damage the crop...

-..especially during long,

-damp periods in the winter.

-A hard frost will make it even more

-difficult to pick the carrots.

-Alternating dry and wet days,

-can cause the flesh to crack...

-..making it more susceptible

-to disease and causes it to rot.

-Even without these elements,

-the plant continues to grow...

-..over-ripens, gets old,

-loses its flavour...

-..and develops hard centres

-making them difficult to eat.

-Therefore, it's best to pick them

-all at the start of November.

-Loosen the soil around the plants

-with a spade or fork.

-Push the fork down in a straight

-line and not at an angle...

-..to avoid damaging the root.

-Many people tell you not to wash the

-carrots but to dust off excess soil.

-I wash mine and there's nothing

-wrong with that...

-..as long as you allow them

-to dry properly before storing.

-Washing them makes it easier

-to spot any problems on the surface.

-Inspect each carrot to check for any

-damage such as holes, cracks or rot.

-Use these immediately

-because they won't store very well.

-Next, remove the leaves

-as they act as a wick...

-..and drain water from the root

-causing them to wither.

-Some say to remove the leaves

-but keep half an inch...

-..to avoid damaging the bud

-at the top of the carrot.

-It helps to keep the carrot healthy

-during storage.

-If you cannot keep the carrots

-at a low enough temperature...

-..the bud will start to shoot

-and form new leaves...

-..resulting in the carrot

-losing water and spoiling.

-I prefer to remove all the leaves

-and the bud too.

-I find that the carrot

-stores well for months.

-Don't cut it too low

-and into the flesh itself.

-Store them in a bowl in dry soil

-as opposed to damp soil.

-Moisture around the carrot...

-..will encourage any surface fungus

-to sprout and cause them to rot.

-They won't lose moisture in the

-dry soil as there isn't any air.

-Store them in a dark, dry

-and chilled environment...

-..ideally that's about

-1 to 4 degrees centigrade.

-They should store

-for up to six months.

-After the break,

-we mark World Diabetes Day.

-Eirian Jones chats about the day

-and the condition itself.

-Don't move a muscle!

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's World Diabetes Day.

-Today, we're joined

-by Eirian Jones...

-..who has been suffering with

-type 2 diabetes for many years.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-You remember the exact moment...

-..when you realized

-that something was wrong.

-Yes, I've been suffering from

-type 2 diabetes for eight years.

-I had a 24-hour machine.

-I had a phone call from the nurse...

-..to say that my sugar levels

-were very high...

-..so I had another test.

-I was diagnosed

-with type 2 diabetes.

-It was a shock for you.

-My father had type 2 diabetes.

-I didn't expect to get it

-when I was 41 years old.

-My BMI is 30.

-This means that

-I'm in the risk category.

-I think my way of life...

-..could have led to my diagnosis.

-How has it changed your life?

-It changed my life a lot.

-I had to look back at the way

-that my father lived his life.

-I had to change my diet.

-I went on a course...

-..and this explained

-the condition to me.

-It helped me to make

-specific changes.

-This course is available

-in every health board.

-Some health boards use it

-more than others.

-I think people

-should attend this course.

-I found it very useful.

-It helped me

-to learn about diabetes.

-It helped me to show me the foods

-I could eat.

-The dietitian even took us

-to the supermarket...

-..to show us the foods we could buy.

-The condition is on the rise.

-It's important to educate people

-about diabetes.

-This nation has changed the way

-that we live our lives.

-Obesity is a problem.

-Do you eat any sugar?

-I've got type 2 diabetes.

-It means that I have to

-control my sugar intake.

-Eating potatoes and rice

-affects your sugar intake.

-It's about controlling the

-carbohydrates that you eat.

-What did you eat yesterday?

-Yesterday,

-I had a bowl of Fruit n Fibre.

-There's carbohydrates in that.

-It's slow-burning carbohydrates.

-I had chicken and rice for lunch.

-There's protein in the chicken.

-I can't remember

-what I ate last night.

-It's quite a healthy diet.

-It's all about making choices.

-I knew that the basmati rice

-is a slow-burning carbohydrate.

-It means that I wouldn't

-feel hungry later in the day.

-There's a demand for more support.

-I'm not suffering from

-a lot of the side effects...

-..but I know of people,

-such as my father...

-..who have suffered

-with mental health issues.

-Some doctors send people

-to hospitals for support.

-This day is about

-raising awareness of diabetes.

-Type 1 diabetes

-is different to type 2 diabetes.

-In type 1,

-your body doesn't produce insulin.

-Type 2 diabetes is about

-the way you live your life.

-Type 2 diabetes can strike anyone.

-The number of sufferers

-is growing every year.

-Today, Delyth Simons is having

-a makeover with Huw and the team.

-How's it all going, Huw?

-It's all going swimmingly.

-I don't know what's happened lately

-as everyone is giving us free reign!

-You must be delighted, Ruth

-but you can't do a lot today.

-No, she has short hair

-but it's quite long for Delyth.

-She was due for a trim and

-you can get it for free from Ruth.

-She looks like she's going to sleep!

-Delyth doesn't have time to relax

-between work, family and the horses.

-What are you doing with the hair?

-She has very thick hair

-so I'll take the back very short.

-I want to taper it in at the back.

-We'll keep the length on the top

-to help to retain some height.

-Are you using the straighteners

-to create a curl?

-No, I want straight hair today.

-What about the make-up?

-Delyth likes to wear lipstick

-and foundation for work.

-When she goes to a special occasion,

-she likes to have new make-up.

-I have to show you her nails.

-You've worked hard, Patricia.

-I'm not responsible for these!

-Delyth works on the farm

-and goes to work in the hospital...

-..so needs to have neat nails.

-You enjoy a little bit of pampering.

-The equine world is very stylish

-as people wear matching tweeds.

-Yes, and I always feel like a mess

-when I'm with the equine people.

-You didn't look messy earlier

-and won't leave in a mess either.

-It's all going well

-so we need to get on with it.

-Yes, we'll be back later

-and you can see the finished look.

-We can't wait to see the results of

-the makeover later in the programme.

-Tomorrow, Bethan Mair

-chats about the winners...

-..of this year's

-Wales Book of the Year.

-Alys Conran topped the list in the

-English language books for Pigeon...

-..whilst Idris Reynolds had high

-praise for his book about Dic Jones.

-This is what the authors

-told us about their books.

-I had the honour of knowing Dic

-for a great many years.

-Two years ago, Gwasg Gomer Press

-and Dic's widow, Sian...

-..asked me to write a book

-of memories about him.

-Dic was a great poet

-but a lot more than that too.

-He was a singer, an author,

-a media personality, a farmer...

-..a public figure

-and a great thinker.

-I wanted to portray

-the whole person.

-The novel is about a quarry town

-in North Wales...

-..and discusses Welsh culture.

-It's important for a novel about

-North Wales to be promoted.

-The support I've had for this novel

-across Wales has meant so much.

-It's important to hear from new

-and young authors like myself.

-Congratulations to Alys and Idris.

-We'll hear more about those books

-on tomorrow's Prynhawn Da.

-After the break, Kevin

-has arrangements for various vases.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-At this time of year, it gets

-dark earlier, temperatures drop...

-..and everything looks bleak.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Today, we're looking at

-various arrangements for vases.

-Yes, we've got a selection of

-vases for your floral displays.

-I've come from the darkness

-into the light!

-We haven't started to prepare

-for Christmas just yet.

-Some of the shops

-have prepared for it.

-There's a variety of vases

-and crockery in our homes...

-..to hold our floral displays.

-We tend to stick to the same vases.

-We keep the others in the cupboard.

-The first arrangement is of lilies.

-The lilies provide a great shape

-to this display.

-There's a few branches from a tree.

-You don't have to use flowers.

-You can use plants.

-I've got some hyacinths in a bowl.

-The bowl has some pebbles too.

-It's just a bulb of hyacinth.

-The hyacinths

-will flower before Christmas.

-We have a vase here

-with another flower.

-I've also got some sunflowers.

-They are placed in three bottles.

-We have a touch of Christmas

-in the next display.

-This is a large vase.

-I've placed another vase inside it.

-There are also some fairy lights.

-We've got some branches

-from a tree too.

-There are three amaryllis here.

-In this area,

-we've got some gladioli.

-They look a bit stiff but you want

-to clip them to create movement.

-The grasses help to add movement.

-People say the word, vase

-in different ways!

-In the front,

-we have a rose in a jar.

-There's a candle on top of it.

-It saves room on your table.

-You can place a rose

-on the surface of some water.

-A rose may have fallen off

-a display.

-Grab some bubble wrap.

-Bend it and create a hole in it.

-Place the rose in the wrap.

-It will float on the water

-as a result.

-We also move on to the fish bowl.

-There's water in the fish bowl

-and some bear grass.

-I've got some tulips

-You can also use the cala lily.

-Tulips are very flexible.

-These are great displays before

-the festive season is upon us.

-Search for the pots and vases

-at home!

-Make use of them!

-Send us your entries for

-our autumn photography competition.

-Autumn is a season of falling leaves

-and is ideal for taking photographs.

-The amazing colours

-always excite us.

-We want your photographs of autumn

-in your garden, public park...

-..pavement or anywhere that you

-take your mobile phone or camera.

-Upload your photographs to our

-Facebook or Twitter accounts...

-..or email them to

-The closing date is 30 November

-and we look forward to seeing them.

-Get snapping now and we can't

-wait to see your photographs.

-Thanks to Sian Evans.

-She contacted us about diabetes.

-After the break,

-Ewan Rees joins us..

-..to chat about moving back to West

-Wales and starting a new business.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Our series on life-changing events

-continues today...

-..with a person who returned to

-West Wales to start a new business.

-Ewan Rees, welcome to the programme.

-Before we hear about your business,

-tell us more about yourself.

-You've lived abroad

-for a number of years.

-Yes, that's right.

-I lived in Eglwyswrw.

-I then moved to work at

-a 5-star hotel in Colorado.

-Prince Andrew and the Trumps

-would stay at the hotel.

-They were busy people

-but were very nice.

-I came back to Wales and then

-I worked in a hotel in Italy.

-There was sunshine every day.

-I was there for eight months.

-I was working hard

-as an activities manager.

-It was long hours.

-I came back to Wales again and then

-returned to Aspen in the winter.

-I was a ski instructor.

-It's a wonderful place.

-Following this, I went to Abu Dhabi.

-I was also in the Cotswolds.

-We have a photograph

-of one of the hotels.

-I worked in a massive hotel

-in Abu Dhabi.

-It was near the racing track.

-The hotel looks like a spaceship!

-I looked after all the celebs

-and the racing drivers.

-Jenson Button was one of them.

-I also looked after his crew.

-After the Formula 1, we looked

-forward to the tennis championships.

-Nadal and Murray stayed with us

-and played tennis there.

-You returned to Wales.

-Yes, I've stayed

-in Wales since 2015.

-I have a family now

-and laid some roots.

-I'm in a lovely part of Wales too.

-I've also established

-a new business.

-Our business provides

-walking holidays in Pembrokeshire.

-I want walkers to come to me

-because I am local.

-Many walkers booked with larger,

-well-known walking companies.

-None of these companies were based

-locally in Pembrokeshire or Wales.

-In Wales, you realize that people

-book their holidays...

-..with companies from outside Wales.

-I'm there to pick up the phone

-and help out.

-Newport, Pembrokeshire is a lovely

-place with some spectacular views.

-Our website is now active.

-We are awaiting for people

-to contact us.

-Your wife isn't from Wales.

-I met my wife in Cirencester.

-She was also working at a hotel.

-We wanted to raise our two young

-boys here back in Pembrokeshire.

-I've worked all over the world

-in different climates.

-This has helped me

-with my line of work now.

-Come rain or shine or snow!

-You are welcome

-to come and visit us!

-Some 45 minutes ago, Delyth Simons

-arrived here for a special makeover.

-Before we reveal the new Delyth,

-here's a reminder of how she looked.

-Delyth needs to look smart

-for work...

-..and dresses in country wear

-for the farm and ponies.

-We're changing fabrics

-to achieve a more formal look...

-..with velvet, brocade, jewellery

-and sparkly items.

-Let's take a look at Delyth now.

-You look fantastic.

-Are you happy with your new look?

-It's great.

-It's quite glamorous.

-I don't know if I would wear velvet

-with the horses.

-She will have to go to a posh box

-to watch the horses.

-We are trying to keep away

-from the festive look.

-in this jacket.

-It works well with any skin tone.

-The blouse is quite useful and

-can be matched with a pair of jeans.

-Delyth loves wearing heels too.

-The style looks great.

-How did you style the hair, Ruth?

-I've cut off quite a lot of hair.

-There's plenty of texture.

-Delyth can recreate this style.

-I've matched the make-up

-with the rich colours in the jacket.

-I've used three types of gold

-on the eyes.

-It's glamorous yet natural.

-It's a different look

-to what she wears to work.

-I love the jacket.

-It's my favourite garment.

-Velvet is very fashionable

-at the moment.

-It's a great look.

-It works with this look.

-Enjoy wearing the outfit.

-We're back on your screens

-at 2.00pm tomorrow.

-Elen Van Bodegom has suggestions

-for a mustard decor in the home.
