0:01:46 > 0:01:53- I'm now retired but I was - a headteacher for 25 years.
0:01:54 > 0:02:03- I retired in 2010 and - I'm still as busy as ever.
0:02:03 > 0:02:12- I don't know where I found time - to go to work before.
0:02:12 > 0:02:23- However, I do miss the children and - parents.
0:02:23 > 0:02:34- They were very kind and a big part - of the community.
0:02:34 > 0:02:39- You have a new hobby.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Since retiring, - I've started fly fishing.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- I had my first lesson in 1993.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- I was off from school and whilst I - was away, I had a fishing lesson.
0:02:51 > 0:02:59- I had another lesson in 2008 - or 2009.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- After that, I started fishing - in a pond behind the school.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- I haven't looked back since.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- I enjoy fly fishing.
0:03:12 > 0:03:20- I don't use works or spinners.
0:03:20 > 0:03:31- I try to attract the fish - to my line or hook.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- You've experienced a lot of success.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- I've been quite successful.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- I'm a member of the Welsh team.
0:03:44 > 0:03:49- I really enjoy myself whilst - representing my country.
0:03:49 > 0:03:58- I have the equipment to make my own - fly tackles.
0:03:58 > 0:04:08- However, I've been practising by - making my fly tackle brooches.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- The Heno cameras filmed us in - Trawsfynydd.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Let's take a look at a clip.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- It's an international competition - between Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- There are ten members - in each team...
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- ..and the aim is simply - to catch as many fish as possible.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- Occasionally, we use something - pretty to attract the fish.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- However, they may catch another - as we usually use three flies each.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39- Perhaps one attracts the fish, but - another fly takes its fancy to eat!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- It's a skill to make these flies!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- Do the different flies have names?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Do the different flies have names?- - Yes, these are buzzers.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- These are boobies, but I don't see - why fish are attracted to them!
0:04:52 > 0:05:01- These are known as blobs and here we - have natural ones from the trees.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03- You don't have a name for these?
0:05:03 > 0:05:11- You don't have a name for these?- - No, they are known as natural.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- It's very interesting!
0:05:13 > 0:05:26- Anyone catching a fly wants it.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- You had a lot of fun.
0:05:30 > 0:05:40- I had lots of fun with Elin Fflur.
0:05:40 > 0:05:47- I don't mind if there's feathers - on my new outfit.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52- There's one on my outfit today.
0:05:52 > 0:06:00- It means lots to me.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- I trialled for a team in 2012.
0:06:06 > 0:06:13- I didn't feel confident enough...
0:06:13 > 0:06:18- ..before the Casting for Recovery - course.
0:06:18 > 0:06:33- It's a course for cancer survivors.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- The leaders both suffered - from cancer...
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- ..but represented their country.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45- Since then, my confidence has grown - and I've made the Welsh team.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46- Thank you, Rhian.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- We'll have an update of Rhian's - makeover later in the programme.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Elinor Gwynn has reached - the Gower Peninsula...
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- ..on her trek of the Welsh coast.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- The weather may not - have been favourable...
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- ..but Rhossili Bay and Cwm Ivy - were just as glorious.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Today's journey along the coastline - takes us to the Gower Peninsula...
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- ..and to one of the area's most - beautiful areas, Rhossili Bay.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- The area was the first in Britain...
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- ..to be named an area - of outstanding natural beauty...
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- ..and it's easy to see why.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- There's a feast for the eyes - for walkers like myself.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- I'm joined on my journey - by Richard Neale.
0:07:27 > 0:07:33- He raises awareness and encourages - visitors to enjoy the 157 miles...
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- ..of the Welsh coast that's under - the care of the National Trust.
0:07:37 > 0:07:42- Here in Gower, - you can walk 26 miles...
0:07:42 > 0:07:48- ..or a third of the area - of outstanding natural beauty.
0:07:48 > 0:07:55- I enjoy seeing the archaeological - remains on the Gower Peninsula.
0:07:55 > 0:08:03- There's fantastic medieval examples - here at Rhossili.
0:08:08 > 0:08:14- This is a medieval open field strip.
0:08:14 > 0:08:19- Different farmers would maintain - various parts of the field.
0:08:19 > 0:08:26- There's a shallow S-curve - as they needed more room to turn.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- When they started ploughing with - horses, they could turn easier...
0:08:32 > 0:08:38- ..and the unique S-shape was lost.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44- It's part of this unique landscape.
0:08:45 > 0:08:57- This way of life can still - be seen today, 1,500 years later.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- At the south end of the bay, there's - the tidal island of Worm's Head.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13- It's a magical island - that attracts visitors from afar.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Do you know anything about the Welsh - name for Worm's Head, Pen Pyrod?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- No, but I'd like to know more.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- I've been doing some research.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28- In 1576, records show that - the island was named, Ynys Werin.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- In 1578, it was renamed Pen Prys.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38- Over time, Pen Prys - has evolved and become Pen Pyrod.
0:09:38 > 0:09:45- Prys, Prif and Pyrod - all refer to a worm.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51- Therefore, the Welsh name suggests - the same description of the island.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- The name describes the island - as a serpent rising from the sea.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- It doesn't look like that - from the land.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- However, it makes complete sense - when viewed from the sea.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- The island does look like a monster.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- The journey along the coast - takes us to North Gower.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- It's a completely different area - compared to the cliffs of the south.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22- It's home to salt marches - and forests.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Cwm Ivy - near the village of Llanmadoc...
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- ..boasts an exciting new development - that's transforming the habitat.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- We're stood - on a medieval embankment.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37- The land around us was dried out - to aid agriculture, centuries ago.
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- Just over a year ago, - some 500 sheep would graze here.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- However, this embankment - had been deteriorating for years.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- In the end, we knew that the sea - would break through.
0:10:52 > 0:11:01- Therefore, we took the decision of - allowing the sea to erode the land.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- This has create a nature reserve.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- The farmer was retiring...
0:11:10 > 0:11:15- ..so the chance came to transform - the land into something very rare.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- We now have a salt marsh...
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- ..and it's one of the richest - wildlife habitats available.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- It's more valuable to the community - and economy as a nature reserve.
0:11:29 > 0:11:35- It's been a very interesting, - naturally occurring process...
0:11:36 > 0:11:42- ..that we've welcomed - with open arms.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- The break in the embankment...
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- ..means that there isn't currently - a path around Llanmadoc.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- However, there are plans - to rectify this.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- The environment - has changed completely...
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- ..and the marsh is now home - to fish and otters.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- In the near future, - they also hope to welcome ospreys.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- This spot and the nearby Whitford - nature reserve with its dunes...
0:12:09 > 0:12:14- ..makes this little corner of the - Gower Peninsula is very special.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- It's a nature lover's paradise - that everyone can enjoy.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28- The Gower Peninsula - is one of my favourite areas.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- It's such a beautiful part - of the world.
0:12:31 > 0:12:39- After the break, Ieuan has the - latest essential gardening tips.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- We'll also find out how Rhian, - Huw and the team are getting on.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- See you in a few minutes.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47- .
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Subtitles
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Welcome back.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Our gardening expert, Ieuan - has joined us in the studio.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- Ieuan has ideas of what we should - be adding to our gardens...
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- ..for a bit of extra colour.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Welcome to the programme.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19- Thank you.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24- I have ideas on what to plant - in the garden.
0:13:24 > 0:13:39- We all want some colour - in the garden.
0:13:40 > 0:13:47- There have been some flowers opening - early due to the weather.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52- We've been seeing some early - daffodils.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57- I saw some earlier.
0:13:58 > 0:14:05- However, this is bad news if you're - expecting them to flower again.
0:14:05 > 0:14:12- They won't flower again in March.
0:14:12 > 0:14:24- Some flowers such as these...
0:14:24 > 0:14:31- ..will flower early and will produce - more buds.
0:14:31 > 0:14:45- They will flower throughout the - spring season.
0:14:46 > 0:14:54- When they flower early, - the primroses don't die away.
0:14:54 > 0:15:09- There are some naturally colourful - plants at this time of the year.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25- The skimmia Japonica is very - colourful.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30- It's originally from - Japan and China.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35- These grow in the wild and can reach - up to 20 feet.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- There are varieties that are - suitable for small gardens...
0:15:40 > 0:15:52- ..and won't grow more - than three feet.
0:15:52 > 0:15:58- They form a spherical bush that - looks very attractive.
0:15:58 > 0:16:04- There's a male and female part.
0:16:04 > 0:16:18- The female plant will display - these red berries.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- The berries contrast the shiny dark - green leaves.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- The red looks wonderful.
0:16:27 > 0:16:33- There's also a variety - with white berries.
0:16:34 > 0:16:42- These plants will start flowering - in October.
0:16:43 > 0:16:51- To get these berries, you will also - need a male plant nearly.
0:16:51 > 0:16:58- Here's an example of the male part.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03- It doesn't look quite as good - as the female plant...
0:17:04 > 0:17:10- ..but it's quite nice.
0:17:10 > 0:17:25- In spring, the plant will flower to - form little white flowers.
0:17:27 > 0:17:34- What happens when the - berries fall off?
0:17:34 > 0:17:44- These will pollinate.
0:17:44 > 0:17:59- If you only have room for one - skimmia plant...
0:18:00 > 0:18:15- ..opt for the reevesiana variety.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23- It's self-pollinating.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28- You will see lots of flowers - in the spring...
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- ..and have berries in the autumn - and winter.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- You could even grow them in a pot on - your patio.
0:18:38 > 0:18:53- However, they do prefer acidic soil.
0:18:53 > 0:19:01- You could mix some acidic soil with - John Innes Number 3 soil.
0:19:01 > 0:19:14- They do like some sun so a - North-facing garden is perfect.
0:19:14 > 0:19:24- These plants can withstand ice.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- You can prune the plant lightly in - the spring.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- They don't need much watering - either.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- It's perfect for those who don't - like gardening!
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- Thank you, Ieuan.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- Rhian Taylor from Letterston - has joined us for a makeover today.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Let's see how things are shaping up - with the makeover from Huw.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Things are going well, Sian.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- Rhian is easy to please.
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- She's happy to have anything done - to her hair.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Patricia and Rhian had a chat - about her skin earlier.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- Rhian has very sensitive skin.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Yes, it has developed to be very - sensitive in the last three years.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08- Can you use make-up?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Can you use make-up?- - I'm too scared to try any!
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- What happens if you wear something - which doesn't suit the skin?
0:20:15 > 0:20:19- The dry skin comes back - and red blotches develop.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- What is the answer, Patricia?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- I'm going to try and apply - some make-up to Rhian's face.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- I'm going to be using Clinique...
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- ..which is supposed to be good - for sensitive and dry skin.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Is it hypoallergenic?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Is it hypoallergenic?- - Yes, it is.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42- The best way is to test it.
0:20:42 > 0:20:49- If Rhian feels the product itching, - we'll remove it straight away...
0:20:49 > 0:20:56- ..before applying - the emollient cream.
0:20:56 > 0:21:04- I had a bad reaction to the starch - in the sheets in hospital.
0:21:04 > 0:21:09- I had to use this product - at the time.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- Does this product work for you?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- Does this product work for you?- - This is the only thing I will use.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Do you use it everyday?
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Do you use it everyday?- - Yes, I do.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Will this product create - some sort of barrier?
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- My daughter, Gwenno - uses this product.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- I'm used to using this product - and it's great.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- You can use it daily as moisturiser - and apply layer after layer.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- If you start to itch, we'll remove - the make-up straight away.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Ruth will be tackling Rhian's hair.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- You have free rein - over Rhian's hair today.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- Within reason!
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- I'm going to cut the hair - around the ears.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- I'm just going to spin Rhian around - for the cameras.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- I want to get rid of this bob - that Rhian has.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- That sounds exciting.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- When we return, Rhian - will be ready in her new look...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- ..and we hope - she won't be scratching!
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Thank you, Huw.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- We look forward to seeing - the results of the makeover later.

0:22:39 > 0:22:41- How do you like your tea?
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- Black with sugar or lemon, - with honey or a traditional cup?
0:22:46 > 0:22:54- We drink millions of cups a year but - we tend to stick to the traditional.
0:22:54 > 0:23:01- January is Hot Tea Month and we're - encouraged to try new flavours.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- Dafydd Cadwaladr - is a big fan of tea.

0:23:07 > 0:23:21- Thank you.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26- When did you become interested - in tea?
0:23:26 > 0:23:32- My interest in tea - started when I was younger.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36- I would return home from school - and have a tea with my family.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- I used to walk home from school - with my siblings.
