-on today's Prynhawn Da.

-We start today's programme

-The lucky lady having a makeover

-from Huw and the team today...

-..is Elaine Davies from Crwbin.

-Welcome to the programme, Elaine.

-Thank you.

-Tell us a bit more about yourself.

-I'm originally from Cardigan.

-I spent five years in London

-as a teacher.

-I couldn't get a job at home

-and decided to move away.

-I later returned to Pembrokeshire

-to be a music teacher.

-I've been back for six years.

-I enjoyed London,

-but I'm a home bird.

-I like spending time at home.

-The children behaved in London.

-I met Wil when I was in London.

-Wil is my husband.

-I had a job in Essex at the time.

-I met Wil through friends.

-He's good friends

-with my friend's husband.

-I had the job in Pembrokeshire

-and we got together.

-We married last year.

-I'm married to Wil

-and we have two children...

-..Griff who is two

-and Osian who is ten weeks old.

-Both of the boys are busy.

-Osian is doing well.

-He's a good baby.

-He sleeps well.

-Griff likes to cuddle Osian.

-Osian doesn't like tractors yet.

-I don't have a lot of time

-for myself.

-I tend to get ready last.

-I don't usually

-wear a lot of make-up.

-I'm now a farmer's wife.

-I've always liked animals.

-Wil would get me to help

-on the farm.

-I left Essex for the farm.

-Why do you feel like

-you need a makeover?

-I would like to be pampered.

-I want a makeover.

-I want to have

-a different hairstyle.

-It will be nice to have

-some me time.

-I'm open to anything.

-Is there anything

-you don't want the team to do?

-I don't usually have time

-to have my hair done.

-I usually just have a trim.

-I want to keep my hair quite long.

-It takes me a long time

-for it to grow back.

-I can't wait to be pampered.

-Griff is in nursery...

-..but Wil and Osian

-are home watching.

-During November,

-S4C celebrates Welsh legends.

-Prynhawn Da and Heno

-are looking for the new Gelert.

-These are the details to contact us

-with your story of a faithful pooch.

-For all those many dog lovers

-out there...

-..we're searching for special dogs

-that really have the woof factor.

-Do you know of a pug or poodle that

-has transformed somebody's life?

-Do you own a sheepdog or whippet

-with a heroic story?

-Over the next few weeks,

-we'll travel Wales...

-..to find the amazing stories

-of your brave and remarkable dogs.

-If you know the new Gelert of Wales,

-email us on [email protected]

-We look forward to hearing

-your stories about your dogs.

-It's a busy time for Gruffudd Ifan

-from Canolfan Peniarth.

-Welcome to the programme, Gruffudd.

-First, tell us more about

-Canolfan Peniarth.

-Canolfan Peniarth

-was a publishing centre...

-..for the University of Wales

-Trinity Saint David.

-We're celebrating our

-tenth anniversary next year.

-The centre would publish Welsh and

-bilingual educational resources.

-The centre creates

-bilingual resources for primary...

-..secondary and further education

-in Wales.

-The work responds directly

-to national frameworks.

-The created resources

-are traditional in printed form...

-..digital and also interactive

-through DVDs, websites, eBooks...

-..and mobile technology apps.

-There's more than just books.

-A lot of parents and grandparents

-will be used to seeing them.

-We've got a lot of exciting projects

-coming up.

-We've recently announced a new

-two pack series on the Middle Ages.

-This is a history pack

-for 7 to 11 year olds.

-The first pack will concentrate

-on Welsh greats...

-..such as Owain Glyndwr.

-The second pack concentrates on

-the castles of the Middle Ages.

-The pack will tell them

-what clothes they used to wear...

-..what they used to eat

-and who used to attack them.

-We want to bring the past to life

-for the children.

-We also want them to learn

-how to do research themselves.

-The centre is currently working on

-four resources for Cyw on S4C.

-This is an exciting partnership.

-We want to bring the excitement

-from the programmes...

-..into the classroom.

-We've got a lot of work coming out.

-The resources will be for schools

-and for parents to do at home.

-They'll include books, playing mats,

-coloured cards and much more.

-The mats will teach the children

-about different shapes.

-There will also be maths work.

-We hope to get parents

-to help the children.

-Learning starts at home.

-We hope this will help parents

-have fun with their children.

-You have a new character

-called Idwal.

-Last week, we launched a new

-children's book called Idwal.

-The book was written

-by Carol Barratt...

-..and translated into Welsh

-by Mererid Hopwood.

-All of the stories are situated

-in the Gower Peninsula...

-..where Idwal, the old tree is

-reciting his stories to the animals.

-The Gower is a wonderful place.

-A lot of different animals

-stop at the tree to speak to Idwal.

-The stories will have facts

-for children.

-The launch was at Ysgol Gymraeg Bryn

-y Mor school in Swansea.

-Heno was there to film us.

-The children have a lot of fun.

-Manon Steffan Ros is very busy

-developed a series of books for us.

-We want to introduce numbers

-to children.

-All the characters are founded

-on a number up to 10.

-Sara Zero is one of the characters.

-There's a book for each number.

-There will also be another set

-about punctuation.

-We're turning these different

-elements into stories.

-We hope these will be

-ready by December.

-Two new apps will be on the market

-from December.

-Caryl Parry Jones and Steffan Rhys

-Williams are busy composing.

-The songs will be in karaoke form

-on the app.

-The app will include 60 songs.

-The songs will be for children

-aged between 3 and 7.

-There will be new words

-to different nursery rhymes.

-We want children to learn these

-different things.

-I'm currently working on

-the sabbatical scheme.

-We're training teachers and teaching

-assistants to learn Welsh in a year.

-The course is part of a government

-scheme to get one million...

-..Welsh speakers by 2050.

-You can read about it on Facebook.

-There are clips of the teachers

-having a great time.

-The aim is that the teachers will be

-fluent by the end of the year...

-..and that they'll use the language

-in the classroom.

-After the break, there's

-an update on Elaine's makeover.

-We also sample the great choice of

-Welsh beers that are on the market.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Elaine Davies from Crwbin

-is having a makeover with us today.

-Let's join Huw to see how it's

-shaping up in our make-up room.

-It's all going well

-here in the make-up room.

-Are you alright, Elaine?

-Are they looking after you?

-Yes, thank you.

-Elaine doesn't want to cut her hair

-as it takes so long to grow.

-Should Elaine do anything

-in particular to her hair...

-..considering that she

-only gave birth ten weeks ago?

-Lots of people lose some hair

-after having a baby.

-It's important to look after

-the hair with products like masks.

-Just wash your hair, apply the mask

-and leave it for 15 minutes...

-..before washing it off.

-It will improve

-the condition of the hair.

-Have you lost any hair

-after having Osian?

-Let's discuss the skin

-with Patricia.

-Pregnancy and childbirth

-can affect the skin...

-..due to the change

-in a woman's hormone levels.

-However, Elaine has wonderful skin

-despite being a little dry.

-Let's turn you around

-to have a better look.

-I'm not sure if Elaine has much time

-to care for and moisturize her skin.

-Your skin may be dry

-as you're often outside on the farm.

-You can tell from her rosy cheeks

-that she's often in the outdoors.

-I'm applying a highlighter to add

-some shimmer to Elaine's face.

-Later on, I'll apply some blusher

-under the highlighter...

-..to contour

-and give the face more shape.

-Lots of people

-are scared of using highlighters.

-If you're conscious of a big nose,

-it can be used to disguise it.

-The same is true

-if you have a big chin.

-Let's discuss the hair, Ruth.

-If you're not going to cut the hair,

-what have you got planned?

-I'm giving it a trim.

-I'm giving it a trim.

-

-You love to start with a trim, Ruth!

-I'm going to use a set of rollers.

-They are heated rollers

-so they're hot.

-Heated rollers

-were once considered old fashioned.

-However, they're back in fashion

-as they give the hair some bounce.

-I'm surprised that you're not using

-the straighteners to curl the hair.

-When we return to the studio,

-the hair will be perfectly curled.

-We'll also ensure that Elaine

-looks wonderful in her new clothes.

-We'll reveal the results of Elaine's

-makeover later in the programme.

-Dylan Rowlands usually has

-an array of wine for us to sample...

-..but today, we're going

-to be trying some Welsh beers.

-Welcome to the programme, Dylan.

-Thank you.

-I've got some lagers for you.

-I don't know a lot about beer.

-I decided that we should start

-with some lager.

-There's a real difference

-between ales and lagers.

-It's all about the yeast.

-There's a lot of small breweries

-in Wales.

-Thanks to some friends

-at a shop in Bala...

-..who specialize in beer.

-They have given me these lagers.

-We start with the Wrexham Lager.

-Wrexham Lager is one

-of Britain's oldest breweries.

-The brewery

-was originally founded in 1882.

-The brewery was closed

-at the turn of the century...

-..but it's been re-opened.

-It's quite nice.

-It's the sort of lager that I drink

-after a busy day in work.

-It's 5% alcohol and easy to drink.

-Next, we have Lithic Brewing.

-Lithic Brewing is located in the

-Brecon Beacons National Park.

-I expected all of them

-to be a pale colour...

-..but they are quite dark.

-I like the can.

-It's trendy to have the cans now.

-Tin does help to keep the colour

-of the beer.

-There's a lot of fizz in this.

-I prefer the lager from Wrexham.

-This is fruity.

-Coles Brewery is next.

-The Coles Brewery is based

-at the White Hart Thatched Inn...

-..in Llanddarog on the outskirts

-of Carmarthen.

-They are a very busy family.

-They make cider and beer too.

-This is very dark.

-The malt gives it its colour.

-This is about 4.5% alcohol.

-Have you worked in a bar, Sian?

-I've poured a few beers in my time!

-I don't like that.

-This is very dark.

-It's very bitter.

-It's a chocolate malt.

-I quite like it.

-I enjoyed a glass of this lager

-last night.

-The bottles are important too.

-It's a very unusual bottle.

-We also have the Geipel Brewery.

-The Geipel Brewing headquarters

-is in Manchester...

-..but they produce beers from

-a barn in Gellioedd in North Wales.

-The owner is originally

-from Canada.

-This is about 7% alcohol.

-It's very dark.

-It's full of flavour.

-I don't really like lager.

-This is no reflection

-on the products.

-It's a strong flavour.

-It's a German beer.

-It's from Germany

-and the Czech Republic.

-It's a strong lager

-that's full of flavour.

-A lot of people serve beer

-with food now.

-The Wrexham is light and

-easy to drink.

-This current one is best with food.

-I didn't mind the second.

-I liked the second one.

-We should all try them.

-There's still plenty to enjoy today

-on Prynhawn Da in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-In a moment, Ieuan celebrates

-the apple season in the garden.

-Huw and the team also reveal the

-results of Elaine Davies' makeover.

-Our next guest's life has been

-truly transformed in recent months.

-She left a career in education

-after 20 years as a teacher.

-Sharon Leech,

-welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-How is life treating you now?

-You've had a lot of time to relax

-after leaving teaching.

-Life has been relaxing

-since I finished teaching.

-However, I have been

-looking for work too.

-It was difficult to adapt

-to my new lifestyle.

-At the start, I felt guilty when

-I went out during school hours.

-It has taken time to adapt

-but I've done the right thing.

-My subject was French...

-..but I taught some sports,

-Welsh Bac and health.

-It was great to chat to the children

-about a variety of topics.

-However,

-I wanted a change in career.

-This time last year, I never thought

-that I'd be sat here.

-Some events in my life

-led to this decision.

-The new headmistress wanted

-to cut the staff hours.

-Therefore, I phoned HR

-and went to see the head...

-..and I took voluntary redundancy.

-I did all this

-before telling my husband!

-Sport and athletics

-is important to you.

-Yes, athletics and sports are

-an important part of my life.

-I've worked with Athletics Wales

-in the past.

-I did some voluntary work

-on the cross country events.

-I work one day

-at the Welsh Athletics office.

-I've been in contact and offered my

-services to Challenge Wales Events.

-In my email to the company, I wrote

-"Nothing ventured, nothing gained."

-Adam replied and revealed that

-they were expanding the business.

-I met with the duo

-and joined their team.

-I've been a member of the Challenge

-Wales Events team for a week.

-I enjoy running.

-I came across the company

-by running in their races.

-Running is in the blood.

-My son has had a fantastic year.

-My son is the marathon runner,

-Josh Griffiths.

-He's done very well.

-However, we have had a difficult

-year with family illnesses.

-Josh is currently training

-in France.

-The weather is fantastic there.

-Last week, he won an award

-but couldn't pick it up himself.

-We don't train together.

-I used to when he was eleven

-but he's much faster than me now.

-Next week, I'll be doing

-the Snowdonia Marathon.

-Josh devised my training plan.

-He's the one that teaches me

-and not the other way around.

-You're living your dream now.

-I enjoy interior design but I

-live in the wrong area to find work.

-I have a diploma in interior design.

-I studied with

-the National Design Academy.

-I've done several show homes

-in Llandeilo and Swansea.

-I would like to pursue a career

-in interior design.

-My decision to quit teaching

-has gone well so far.

-I've had good advice

-not to rush into a new job.

-I didn't know what I wanted to do

-but so far, so good.

-Does Josh have any races soon?

-Josh is doing altitude training

-and will do a 10K soon.

-He's hoping to qualify for the

-Commonwealth Games.

-The recent stormy weather has left

-our gardens in quite a state...

-..but don't start tidying it up yet!

-Sit back and enjoy watching Ieuan

-doing all the hard work for us.

-Today, he has tips

-on the apple season.

-It's been a great year for apples

-with trees bursting with fruit.

-Some apples have fallen

-after the strong winds.

-You can eat these apples within

-a few days but they won't last long.

-But there are plenty left on the

-tree and I've already picked lots.

-Apples don't ripen at the same time.

-The apples that ripen first

-are those on the outer edges...

-..and the south-facing apples

-that get more sun.

-Apples stop ripening

-after they've been picked.

-Therefore, it's vital to pick apples

-when they're in their prime...

-..to ensure that their flavours

-have developed fully.

-Cup the apple with your hand

-and lift up whilst twisting gently.

-If the apple comes away easily,

-it's ripe.

-If it doesn't,

-leave it there for a while.

-Look carefully at every apple.

-Ideally, the stem should be intact.

-Don't store apples that are bruised,

-damaged or cracked...

-..as they will rot quickly.

-Store them, in a suitable container

-like an open wood or cardboard box.

-Alternatively,

-old freezer baskets are perfect.

-Their sides are open to allow air

-to circulate around the apples.

-Wrap every apple in a piece

-of tissue paper or kitchen towel.

-This stops the fruit

-from touching and bruising.

-It protects against shrivelled

-apples buy retaining moisture.

-It also stops rot spreading

-from one apple to the next.

-You can stack the apples

-in two or three layers.

-You could also store the apples

-in a clear plastic or polythene bag.

-You don't need to wrap them in paper

-as the bag will retain the moisture.

-However, it's important to ensure

-that the apples don't touch.

-As the apples breathe, they sweat.

-You must cut holes in the bag

-to allow excess moisture to escape.

-You should also leave

-one end of the bag open.

-By storing them in a clear bag,

-it's easier to keep an eye on them.

-Store the apples in a dark space

-between 5 and 7 degrees Celsius.

-However, they should not be exposed

-to frosty conditions...

-Keep apples away from strong odours

-like paint or onions...

-..as apples tend to absorb

-these strong aromas.

-Potatoes should also be

-kept away from apples...

-..as old potatoes can release a gas

-that destroys apples.

-With careful storage, apples should

-keep for weeks or even months...

-..depending on their variety.

-Cox's Orange Pippin will last until

-late January or early February.

-Thanks to Ieuan

-for his useful advice.

-That's all for now.

-Huw and the makeover team

-are running out of time.

-We look forward to seeing

-the results after the break.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-I was going to say that!

-Mari Grug from the Heno team

-has joined us in the studio.

-Join me for another jam-packed

-edition of Heno at 7.00pm.

-It's a horrible day!

-Rhodri Gomer

-is live in Carmarthen...

-..for the premiere of the new

-S4C drama called Un Bore Mercher.

-We'll chat to some of the

-stars of S4C's Un Bore Mercher.

-Eve Myles and Hannah Daniel

-are among the stars.

-Elin Fflur is in North Wales

-to interview a young boy.

-He's won a special Rally GB prize.

-My studio guest is the

-lively presenter, Aled Samuel.

-Aled joins me to chat about his new

-S4C series called Pobl a'u Gerddi.

-Pobl a'u Gerddi is a new series

-where Aled Samuel travels Wales...

-..to meet some incredible people

-and view their personal gardens.

-Elaine Davies is the lucky recipient

-of today's makeover.

-Elaine arrived in the studio

-and looked very comfortable...

-Caring for the children

-jeans and boots.

-We want to retain

-that relaxed look...

-..whilst making it more fashionable

-with some of the season's trends.

-Let's see how Elaine looks now.

-You look amazing, Elaine.

-Thank you.

-What do you think of your new look?

-I like the new look.

-I could wear it out

-or with another top.

-I'll get lots of use

-from this outfit.

-Huw, tell us about the clothes.

-There's a jacket, blouse

-and trousers from Primark.

-I wanted to give her a dressy look.

-However, she has very young children

-and accidents will happen.

-The blouse is only 13 and it can be

-thrown away if it gets dirty.

-However, this is a more special look

-for her.

-What have you done to the hair?

-I've trimmed the hair

-and shortened the sides.

-I've used heated rollers

-to give the hair more body.

-I may have to buy some.

-It doesn't matter

-They're easy to use.

-I've opted for

-a simple make-up look.

-You can see the highlighter

-above Elaine's cheeks.

-I've used a pink blusher

-and grey eyeshadow.

-I don't have much time

-to apply make-up.

-I'll have to look at some clips

-to learn more.

-She had wonderful skin

-without blemishes.

-When you have a baby,

-you expect to see tired skin.

-However, this isn't the case

-with Elaine.

-This is an elegant look for her.

-This is an elegant look for her.

-When you have children,

-clothes get destroyed!

-However, you want a nice feel

-to your clothes.

-There's fringing on the coat

-and a satin feel to the blouse.

-Children won't like

-uncomfortable clothes either.

-and leave children at home!

-On tomorrow's Prynhawn Da,

-we open the covers of our Book Club.

-There's also money saving tips

-for Christmas.
