-Hello and welcome to your

-Tuesday edition of Prynhawn Da.

-We have a varied programme for you

-this afternoon.

-This is what you can expect over

-the next 50 minutes.

-Elinor Gwynn continues her trek

-around the coast of Wales.

-Today, she reaches

-the Gower Peninsula.

-Ieuan will have all of the gardening

-tips you'll need for January.

-There's nothing better

-that a cup of tea.

-During January we're encouraged

-to try different varieties of tea.

-Dafydd Cadwaladr examines

-the different tastes available.

-Sioned Williams will be here

-to discuss her prized possessions.

-Stay with us over the

-next 50 minutes.

-Welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-We begin the programme with

-a makeover from Huw and the team.

-Today's lucky recipient is Rhian

-Taylor of Letterston, Pembrokeshire.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-Tell us a bit about yourself.

-I'm looking forward to the makeover.

-I'm from Letterston.

-I'm now retired but I was

-a headteacher for 25 years.

-I retired in 2010 and

-I'm still as busy as ever.

-I don't know where I found time

-to go to work before.

-However, I do miss the children and

-parents.

-They were very kind and a big part

-of the community.

-You have a new hobby.

-Since retiring,

-I've started fly fishing.

-I had my first lesson in 1993.

-I was off from school and whilst I

-was away, I had a fishing lesson.

-I had another lesson in 2008

-or 2009.

-After that, I started fishing

-in a pond behind the school.

-I haven't looked back since.

-I enjoy fly fishing.

-I don't use works or spinners.

-I try to attract the fish

-to my line or hook.

-You've experienced a lot of success.

-I've been quite successful.

-I'm a member of the Welsh team.

-I really enjoy myself whilst

-representing my country.

-I have the equipment to make my own

-fly tackles.

-However, I've been practising by

-making my fly tackle brooches.

-The Heno cameras filmed us in

-Trawsfynydd.

-Let's take a look at a clip.

-It's an international competition

-between Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

-There are ten members

-in each team...

-..and the aim is simply

-to catch as many fish as possible.

-Occasionally, we use something

-pretty to attract the fish.

-However, they may catch another

-as we usually use three flies each.

-Perhaps one attracts the fish, but

-another fly takes its fancy to eat!

-It's a skill to make these flies!

-Do the different flies have names?

-Do the different flies have names?

-

-Yes, these are buzzers.

-These are boobies, but I don't see

-why fish are attracted to them!

-These are known as blobs and here we

-have natural ones from the trees.

-You don't have a name for these?

-You don't have a name for these?

-

-No, they are known as natural.

-It's very interesting!

-Anyone catching a fly wants it.

-You had a lot of fun.

-I had lots of fun with Elin Fflur.

-I don't mind if there's feathers

-on my new outfit.

-There's one on my outfit today.

-It means lots to me.

-I trialled for a team in 2012.

-I didn't feel confident enough...

-..before the Casting for Recovery

-course.

-It's a course for cancer survivors.

-The leaders both suffered

-from cancer...

-..but represented their country.

-Since then, my confidence has grown

-and I've made the Welsh team.

-Thank you, Rhian.

-We'll have an update of Rhian's

-makeover later in the programme.

-Elinor Gwynn has reached

-the Gower Peninsula...

-..on her trek of the Welsh coast.

-The weather may not

-have been favourable...

-..but Rhossili Bay and Cwm Ivy

-were just as glorious.

-Today's journey along the coastline

-takes us to the Gower Peninsula...

-..and to one of the area's most

-beautiful areas, Rhossili Bay.

-The area was the first in Britain...

-..to be named an area

-of outstanding natural beauty...

-..and it's easy to see why.

-There's a feast for the eyes

-for walkers like myself.

-I'm joined on my journey

-by Richard Neale.

-He raises awareness and encourages

-visitors to enjoy the 157 miles...

-..of the Welsh coast that's under

-the care of the National Trust.

-Here in Gower,

-you can walk 26 miles...

-..or a third of the area

-of outstanding natural beauty.

-I enjoy seeing the archaeological

-remains on the Gower Peninsula.

-There's fantastic medieval examples

-here at Rhossili.

-This is a medieval open field strip.

-Different farmers would maintain

-various parts of the field.

-There's a shallow S-curve

-as they needed more room to turn.

-When they started ploughing with

-horses, they could turn easier...

-..and the unique S-shape was lost.

-It's part of this unique landscape.

-This way of life can still

-be seen today, 1,500 years later.

-At the south end of the bay, there's

-the tidal island of Worm's Head.

-It's a magical island

-that attracts visitors from afar.

-Do you know anything about the Welsh

-name for Worm's Head, Pen Pyrod?

-No, but I'd like to know more.

-I've been doing some research.

-In 1576, records show that

-the island was named, Ynys Werin.

-In 1578, it was renamed Pen Prys.

-Over time, Pen Prys

-has evolved and become Pen Pyrod.

-Prys, Prif and Pyrod

-all refer to a worm.

-Therefore, the Welsh name suggests

-the same description of the island.

-The name describes the island

-as a serpent rising from the sea.

-It doesn't look like that

-from the land.

-However, it makes complete sense

-when viewed from the sea.

-The island does look like a monster.

-The journey along the coast

-takes us to North Gower.

-It's a completely different area

-compared to the cliffs of the south.

-It's home to salt marches

-and forests.

-Cwm Ivy

-near the village of Llanmadoc...

-..boasts an exciting new development

-that's transforming the habitat.

-We're stood

-on a medieval embankment.

-The land around us was dried out

-to aid agriculture, centuries ago.

-Just over a year ago,

-some 500 sheep would graze here.

-However, this embankment

-had been deteriorating for years.

-In the end, we knew that the sea

-would break through.

-Therefore, we took the decision of

-allowing the sea to erode the land.

-This has create a nature reserve.

-The farmer was retiring...

-..so the chance came to transform

-the land into something very rare.

-We now have a salt marsh...

-..and it's one of the richest

-wildlife habitats available.

-It's more valuable to the community

-and economy as a nature reserve.

-It's been a very interesting,

-naturally occurring process...

-..that we've welcomed

-with open arms.

-The break in the embankment...

-..means that there isn't currently

-a path around Llanmadoc.

-However, there are plans

-to rectify this.

-The environment

-has changed completely...

-..and the marsh is now home

-to fish and otters.

-In the near future,

-they also hope to welcome ospreys.

-This spot and the nearby Whitford

-nature reserve with its dunes...

-..makes this little corner of the

-Gower Peninsula is very special.

-It's a nature lover's paradise

-that everyone can enjoy.

-The Gower Peninsula

-is one of my favourite areas.

-It's such a beautiful part

-of the world.

-After the break, Ieuan has the

-latest essential gardening tips.

-We'll also find out how Rhian,

-Huw and the team are getting on.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Our gardening expert, Ieuan

-has joined us in the studio.

-Ieuan has ideas of what we should

-be adding to our gardens...

-..for a bit of extra colour.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-I have ideas on what to plant

-in the garden.

-We all want some colour

-in the garden.

-There have been some flowers opening

-early due to the weather.

-We've been seeing some early

-daffodils.

-I saw some earlier.

-However, this is bad news if you're

-expecting them to flower again.

-They won't flower again in March.

-Some flowers such as these...

-..will flower early and will produce

-more buds.

-They will flower throughout the

-spring season.

-When they flower early,

-the primroses don't die away.

-There are some naturally colourful

-plants at this time of the year.

-The skimmia Japonica is very

-colourful.

-It's originally from

-Japan and China.

-These grow in the wild and can reach

-up to 20 feet.

-There are varieties that are

-suitable for small gardens...

-..and won't grow more

-than three feet.

-They form a spherical bush that

-looks very attractive.

-There's a male and female part.

-The female plant will display

-these red berries.

-The berries contrast the shiny dark

-green leaves.

-The red looks wonderful.

-There's also a variety

-with white berries.

-These plants will start flowering

-in October.

-To get these berries, you will also

-need a male plant nearly.

-Here's an example of the male part.

-It doesn't look quite as good

-as the female plant...

-..but it's quite nice.

-In spring, the plant will flower to

-form little white flowers.

-What happens when the

-berries fall off?

-These will pollinate.

-If you only have room for one

-skimmia plant...

-..opt for the reevesiana variety.

-It's self-pollinating.

-You will see lots of flowers

-in the spring...

-..and have berries in the autumn

-and winter.

-You could even grow them in a pot on

-your patio.

-However, they do prefer acidic soil.

-You could mix some acidic soil with

-John Innes Number 3 soil.

-They do like some sun so a

-North-facing garden is perfect.

-These plants can withstand ice.

-You can prune the plant lightly in

-the spring.

-They don't need much watering

-either.

-It's perfect for those who don't

-like gardening!

-Thank you, Ieuan.

-Rhian Taylor from Letterston

-has joined us for a makeover today.

-Let's see how things are shaping up

-with the makeover from Huw.

-Things are going well, Sian.

-Rhian is easy to please.

-She's happy to have anything done

-to her hair.

-Patricia and Rhian had a chat

-about her skin earlier.

-Rhian has very sensitive skin.

-Yes, it has developed to be very

-sensitive in the last three years.

-Can you use make-up?

-Can you use make-up?

-

-I'm too scared to try any!

-What happens if you wear something

-which doesn't suit the skin?

-The dry skin comes back

-and red blotches develop.

-What is the answer, Patricia?

-I'm going to try and apply

-some make-up to Rhian's face.

-I'm going to be using Clinique...

-..which is supposed to be good

-for sensitive and dry skin.

-Is it hypoallergenic?

-Is it hypoallergenic?

-

-Yes, it is.

-The best way is to test it.

-If Rhian feels the product itching,

-we'll remove it straight away...

-..before applying

-the emollient cream.

-I had a bad reaction to the starch

-in the sheets in hospital.

-I had to use this product

-at the time.

-Does this product work for you?

-Does this product work for you?

-

-This is the only thing I will use.

-Do you use it everyday?

-Do you use it everyday?

-

-Yes, I do.

-Will this product create

-some sort of barrier?

-My daughter, Gwenno

-uses this product.

-I'm used to using this product

-and it's great.

-You can use it daily as moisturiser

-and apply layer after layer.

-If you start to itch, we'll remove

-the make-up straight away.

-Ruth will be tackling Rhian's hair.

-You have free rein

-over Rhian's hair today.

-Within reason!

-I'm going to cut the hair

-around the ears.

-I'm just going to spin Rhian around

-for the cameras.

-I want to get rid of this bob

-that Rhian has.

-That sounds exciting.

-When we return, Rhian

-will be ready in her new look...

-..and we hope

-she won't be scratching!

-Thank you, Huw.

-We look forward to seeing

-the results of the makeover later.

-After the break...

-..we'll be celebrating Hot Tea Month

-by sampling a variety of teas.

-Make sure you pop the kettle on.

-We'll be back in just a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-How do you like your tea?

-Black with sugar or lemon,

-with honey or a traditional cup?

-We drink millions of cups a year but

-we tend to stick to the traditional.

-January is Hot Tea Month and we're

-encouraged to try new flavours.

-Dafydd Cadwaladr

-is a big fan of tea.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-When did you become interested

-in tea?

-My interest in tea

-started when I was younger.

-I would return home from school

-and have a tea with my family.

-I used to walk home from school

-with my siblings.

-My mother used to experiment...

-..by mixing Earl Grey with PG tips

-in a teapot.

-That taste was just enough.

-It became a tradition.

-I still remember the taste...

-..and I believe this is the reason

-I have a large interest in tea.

-I have to have tea in the morning.

-I like a builder's tea.

-It has to have plenty of taste

-and a small drop of milk.

-My interest in tea increased

-when I saw the different varieties.

-These teas are appealing.

-A tea is more apt for an evening and

-not for first thing in the morning.

-There's a nice feeling about having

-a cup of tea next to a woodburner.

-There's tea from China and India.

-Tea is shared into two

-main categories...

-..tea from India and tea from China.

-There are wines from across

-the world and tea is the same.

-In Britain,

-we're used to Indian tea.

-A plant is responsible

-for the bitter taste.

-Indian tea is difficult

-to drink alone.

-We're used to adding milk to it.

-Chinese tea has a strong history,

-I'm interested in finding out more

-about their history.

-You won't put milk

-with one type of Chinese tea.

-Many people drink green tea.

-I've brought the same tea leaf...

-..but in different varieties.

-This is the same as removing grass

-from the garden.

-The green tea is very pure.

-This almost comes

-straight from the leaf.

-Let's try the first one.

-You usually need to drink

-a small amount of it.

-This is what they call gunpower tea.

-Only a small amount of caffeine

-is in this.

-This has a tobacco aroma.

-This next tea is semi-fermented.

-This has more taste.

-These green balls are interesting.

-Chinese teas are rare.

-They Chinese

-usually give people Oolong tea...

-..due to its rarity.

-This is kemon tea.

-This comes from South China.

-This has matured.

-You could drink this with milk.

-You could also prepare it

-in a teapot.

-We have an announcement.

-There's an event

-in Neuadd Pontgarreg.

-A St Dwynwen's Day celebration

-is being held this Saturday.

-They promise an evening

-of music and love.

-Mari Grug from the Heno team

-has joined us in the studio.

-Do you enjoy a cup of tea, Mari?

-Yes, I love a cup of tea.

-What delights have you got for us

-on tonight's Heno, Mari?

-Join me for another jam-packed

-edition of Heno at 7.00pm.

-This week, S4C is celebrating

-the South Wales Valleys.

-S4C has a new series

-called Cymoedd Roy.

-Rhodri Davies is at the Welsh centre

-in Merthyr Tydfil, Canolfan Soar...

-..for a special showing of excerpts

-from the series, Cymoedd Roy.

-I'm joined by two actresses

-in the studio.

-Helen Rosser Davies chats about

-her return to soap, Pobol y Cwm.

-Rhona Rees joins me to chat about

-her latest projects.

-We'll be speaking to Rhona

-about the film, The Danish Girl.

-Rhodri Gomer chats to the runners

-who braved the conditions...

-..to compete in the Tregaron 10K.

-The Wales Six Nations squad

-was announced earlier today.

-We chat with some of the members

-of the Wales rugby team...

-..who play against Ireland

-on 7 February in the Six Nations.

-Thank you.

-See you in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Sioned Williams

-of Academi Hywel Teifi is here...

-..to discuss her most

-prized possessions.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-This week is the week of the valleys

-on S4C.

-There's a particular valley

-that's close to your heard.

-Yes, the Rhymney valley

-is important to me.

-I was born in Cwmbran...

-..but my parents and grandparents

-were from the Rhymney Valley.

-I also attended chapel there.

-This tobacco box belonged

-to my great grandfather.

-William Evans was his name.

-He lost the fingers

-on one of his hands.

-Things were incredibly different

-for them.

-He was a member of a choir

-that performed at Buckingham Palace.

-They enjoyed the Eisteddfod.

-This reminds me of the things

-that I take for granted these days.

-Our relatives had a difficult life.

-The area had many Welsh speakers

-at the time.

-I appreciate

-my Rhymney valley roots.

-There are two Welsh schools

-in the area now.

-My grandmother started the first

-Welsh nursery in the area.

-This leads me on to the tie.

-I went to the Welsh secondary school

-in the area.

-My sister went to Rhydfelin,

-but I went to school in Bargoed.

-The development of the Welsh

-language in education is incredible.

-The Welsh language education

-was strong there in the 1950s.

-I was born in Rhondda

-so I'm a valley girl too.

-The Welsh language has developed

-in these areas recently.

-The first Welsh school

-was in Treorchy.

-Welsh education has had a new lease

-of life in the past few decades.

-I used to speak English

-to my parents.

-They were the lost generation.

-They were the children

-of the 1940s...

-..before the Welsh schools.

-Without the Welsh schools, I would

-never be a fluent Welsh speaker.

-We moved to Cwmbran.

-My mother was a teacher.

-Her name is incorrect

-in the article.

-This is a photograph

-of mam and myself.

-Mam used to run the Cylch Meithrin

-or nursery in Bargoed.

-My parents battled for

-a Welsh primary school in the area.

-Tell us about this book.

-This is a book of poetry

-by Idris Davies.

-I was always delighted that

-Idris Davies was from the Rhymney.

-He attended school

-with my grandmother.

-Idris Davies

-was a Welsh speaking poet...

-..who wrote English poetry.

-He was a coal-miner.

-He wanted to be a part

-of the world...

-..and looked at the world

-through a different perspective.

-His poetry is a true reflection

-of the valleys life.

-A piece of Idris' poetry

-was read in our wedding.

-We also had a piece of his poetry

-read in my fathers funeral.

-Thank you, Sioned.

-Earlier, we met Rhian Taylor

-from Letterston in Pembrokeshire.

-Let's remind ourselves of how Rhian

-looked earlier in the programme.

-Rhian looked very comfortable when

-she arrived at the studio, today.

-Her clothing was very loose.

-My aim was to add style

-to her outfit...

-..whilst retaining

-the comfortable element...

-..and making sure the patterns, cuts

-and colours were all fashionable.

-Let's see Rhian after her makeover.

-You look amazing, Rhian.

-How do you feel?

-I'm very happy with the result.

-My husband said he wanted

-a new woman, now he has one!

-We've kept things comfortable

-for Rhian.

-She has a body issue.

-She told me she was a bigger size

-than what she is.

-We haven't had a disagreement...

-..but she's smaller than she thinks.

-This cardigan isn't supposed

-to meet in the middle.

-The blue colour is lovely.

-These trousers feel like they have

-pull-in pants attached.

-We've kept the fly on her outfit.

-I got rid of the bob shape.

-I didn't use a lot of product.

-Let's look at her make-up.

-Rhian has sensitive skin.

-It's quite shiny,

-because of the make-up.

-We've used moisturising eye-shadow.

-I feel great.

-Thank you for joining us.

-Prynhawn Da returns tomorrow

-at the usual time of 2.00pm.

-Y Castell with Jon Gower follows the

-news and weather at 3.00pm on S4C.

-Today, Jon looks at the castle's

-shift from a fortress to a palace.

-Until tomorrow, it's a very

-good afternoon to you all.
