-What would you expect to find in

-the various archives across Wales?

-They contain some real gems...

-..and there's a new campaign to

-enable people to sample the past.

-Rob Phillips is an archivist at the

-National Library and joins us now.

-Welcome to the programme, Rob.

-Tell us more about opening the doors

-of your archives to the public.

-There's so much to see

-in our archives around Wales.

-Archives enable all of us to

-discover the stories, the facts...

-..the places and the people that

-Our archives

-offer a window to the past.

-Last Friday, the Explore Your

-Archive campaign was launched.

-Mari Grug launched the campaign

-at the Glamorgan Archives.

-Every year,

-our archives around Britain...

-..promote what they have

-to offer to the public.

-It's a chance to show you

-what we've got behind our doors.

-There are 22 archives around Wales.

-There are some in your communities

-and in universities...

-..and other organizations.

-There's something for everyone

-at our archives.

-Some people would consider archives

-as boring places full of dust!

-That isn't true.

-There's not a spot of dust anywhere!

-There are stories behind everything.

-An archive is a great place

-to search for past documents...

-..that will reveal everything about

-their families and communties.

-Most of the archives are donated

-by individuals or organizations.

-We've seen footage of the documents

-from the mining areas.

-There are many documents

-about the mining communities.

-These communities

-have disappeared now.

-There is an archive for miners

-at the Glamorgan Archives.

-You can also find out more

-about the eras of the war.

-We learn about people's lives

-during these periods.

-Sourcing information is easy.

-You can click online

-or pick up the phone.

-Archivists are more than happy

-to help you.

-There's also a catalogue online.

-The campaign runs until this Sunday.

-Users are encouraged

-to join the campaign on Twitter.

-You can use the hashtag

-#explorearchives on Twitter.

-Today's archive

-is about the women...

-..who collected cockles

-around Llanelli.

-There's so much variation

-within our collections.

-There's a daily subject

-for the hashtags.

-Technology makes it easy

-for us to communicate.

-Thank you, Rob.

-It's cold and damp but there's

-still plenty to do in the garden.

-Today, Ieuan looks at gardening

-on a budget by taking cuttings.

-Growing plants from cuttings is a

-cheap way of boosting your crop...

-..or to grow something new for free

-with cuttings from friends.

-At this time of year, it's best

-to take cuttings from hardwoods...

-..or stems that have hardened and

-are wooden as opposed to being soft.

-I'm taking privet cuttings

-to fill in the gaps in one hedge...

-..and rejuvenate the base of another

-hedge that has all sorts of plants.

-You can take hardwood cuttings from

-an array of other suitable shrubs...

-..like buddleia, cornus,

-honeysuckle, philadelphus and roses.

-The bottom cut is made below a node

-where the leaves grow from a stem.

-The top cut is made above a node and

-at angle to stop water gathering.

-The cutting should measure

-between six inches and a foot.

-Half of each stem

-will be buried underground.

-Hardwood cuttings

-are slow at developing roots.

-You can quicken the process

-by damaging the base with a knife...

-..and remove half an inch of

-the husk on one side of the stem.

-New roots are more likely to grow

-from the damaged area.

-Open a narrow and deep trench

-with a spade.

-One side needs to be straight

-to give the stem plenty of support.

-The base can rot before it roots

-in very wet soil caused by rain.

-You can avoid this

-with a layer of sand or grit...

-You can avoid this

-with a layer of sand or grit...

-..to help drainage and stop the base

-of the stems sitting in watery soil.

-Rooting powder isn't essential but

-it does helps to prevent diseases.

-Next, insert the cuttings and lean

-them against the straight back...

-..and press the bases into the grit.

-Place them six inches apart, return

-the soil and press it down firmly.

-All you need to do over the coming

-months as these take root...

-..is to ensure the wind or frost

-hasn't loosened them in the soil.

-If that happens, simply press down

-the soil firmly once again.

-Rooting is a slow process but

-when new buds form in the spring...

-..it's a sign that the cuttings

-have taken root.

-Wait until October next year

-before moving them.

-Hardwood cuttings need a year to

-form enough roots to move them.

-Thanks to Ieuan

-for his useful advice.

-We'd like to apologize for

-the technical issue earlier.

-We hope it didn't

-affect your viewing.

-Mari Grug from the Heno team

-has joined us in the studio.

-Join me for another jam-packed

-edition of Heno at 7.00pm.

-The actress and author, Manon Eames

-joins me in the studio...

-..to chat about her new novel.

-Tonight, Rhodri Davies

-looks at the popularity...

-..of the famous author,

-Agatha Christie.

-We've already heard about the

-Explore Your Archive campaign.

-I launched the campaign for

-Explore Your Archive last week.

-Tonight, we hear about

-the events in Wales...

-..that are organized as part of

-the Explore Your Archive campaign.

-We meet the next finalist in our

-competition to find the new Gelert.

-After the break, Dr Llinos joins

-Sian and I to discuss loneliness.

-Don't be lonely

-as we're here to keep you company.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's the season of long, dark nights

-and gloomy weather.

-These are factors that effect

-many people who are feeling lonely.

-The statistics show that this isn't

-a condition for just the elderly...

-..as over half of the parents in

-Wales feel lonely from time to time.

-Dr Llinos joins us

-to discuss this condition.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Loneliness is difficult to define.

-Yes, loneliness is quite

-complicated to describe.

-I'm sure we've all felt lonely

-at some point.

-The statistics are quite alarming.

-The Red Cross

-has researched loneliness.

-Around 9 million people

-feel lonely.

-It's described as an epidemic.

-We tend to think that it mainly

-affects the elderly...

-..but there are other groups in

-society that are affected by it.

-Many new parents

-feel lonely at times.

-They don't have a chance to see

-or talk to people...

-..as parenthood consumes them.

-This also applies to someone

-who has suffered loss...

-..or has gone through a divorce.

-New parents are more at risk

-of suffering from loneliness.

-Many young parents don't have

-friends who have children.

-It's important that they socialize

-with other young parents...

-..in the community.

-Feeling lonely can have a negative

-impact on your mental wellbeing.

-Living with a mental health issue

-increases feelings of loneliness.

-There's a close connection between

-loneliness and mental health.

-We have to create a network

-in our society...

-..to tackle loneliness.

-We have to recognize the group

-of people who are more at risk.

-We all have a role to play.

-We all know someone who is at risk

-of suffering from loneliness.

-This is something that we've seen

-develop over the years.

-It takes nothing to visit

-and have a cuppa with someone.

-Society has changed so much.

-Years ago, we have a network

-and support within our communities.

-Many people live far away from

-their friends and families now.

-Where do you find help?

-You can seek support online.

-There are groups

-that can help individuals.

-They will provide a tailored answer.

-They can also refer you

-to help within your community.

-There are groups in each community

-that can help and support.

-There are groups to suit all ages

-and situations.

-You can share your experiences with

-others who can identify with you.

-You can feel lonely in a crowd.

-You may feel lonely but there are

-people around you to help.

-It can affect us all.

-The small things help.

-..to chat about a new online

-in Swansea...

-..as it's been great for me

-When I was learning

-to speak Welsh...

-..I noticed that there was

-a real gap in the market...

-..for a magazine for Welsh learners.

-There's Golwg and Barn

-for Welsh speakers.

-However, there was nothing

-for the Welsh learners.

-There's a lot of books

-for French and Spanish...

-..where you can read the books

-with the English alongside.

-I thought about doing this

-with the Welsh language.

-You can read the magazine

-in both Welsh and English.

-What's the response been like?

-I started promoting the magazine

-three weeks ago.

-I've been promoting it on Twitter...

-..and with Say Something In Welsh.

-This magazine is ideal

-for Welsh learners...

-..as well as those people

-who don't feel overly confident...

-..when speaking the Welsh language.

-People from around the world

-can read the magazine.

-Are you the only contributor

-at the moment?

-a backdrop for the accessories.

-Nia can change into her final look.

-We've got a velvet jacket.

-A lot of people have

-a velvet jacket.

-This makes the dress

-look quite vintage-esque.

-..and used the scarf as a necklace.

-Team this with some sparkly shoes.

-You can't really see the lace.

-Nia's back too.
