-Hello and welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-It's 1 November and 35 years

-since S4C first hit the airwaves.

-I remember it like it was yesterday.

-You were on the first programme.

-I don't remember it

-but let's not go into that.

-You weren't even born!

-Time certainly flies.

-We're joined by Elinor Patchell

-who is a very proud mother...

-..as her son, Rhys Patchell has been

-named in the Welsh national team.

-Today, Carys has tips

-on storing all sorts of items.

-Richard Vaughan chats about his busy

-life as a professional musician.

-We visit Castell Henllys

-Iron Age Fort in Pembrokeshire.

-Sales by the Welsh Books Council

-are at its lowest in six years...

-..so Elin Williams encourages us

-to buy some Welsh language books.

-Alison Huw celebrates World Vegan

-Day and chats about this diet.

-Join Sian and me for a lot of

-chatting over the next 50 minutes.

-We start with one

-of the proudest mothers in Wales.

-She's the mother of the Scarlets and

-Wales outside-half, Rhys Patchell.

-Welcome to the programme, Elinor.

-Thank you.

-Does it feel odd to be introduced

-and known as the mother of Rhys?

-I often feel that I've been

-the wife of Howard Patchell...

-..and mother to Rhys Patchell

-and Ifan Patchell.

-One day people

-will want to speak to me.

-The Scarlets

-are doing incredibly well.

-They're as good as the end

-of the last season.

-Rhys plays for the Scarlets

-and he loves the team.

-He's based in Cardiff,

-but comes down to train in the week.

-If someone asked Rhys when he was

-younger what he wanted to be...

-..he would always say

-to play rugby for Wales.

-I tried to persuade him and say that

-not everyone could succeed in it.

-I wanted him to think

-of another job.

-He said he would coach people

-if he couldn't play rugby.

-He's a very determined person.

-He'll always want to wear

-the number ten shirt.

-He's always busy getting better.

-Coming to the Scarlets

-was important to him...

-..as Stephen Jones is a coach

-for the Scarlets.

-Our son Rhys has played rugby

-from a young age.

-We have a photograph of him as

-a six-year-old with Neil Jenkins.

-I haven't heard from him this week.

-Neil Jenkins is coaching him

-this week.

-They have had a lot of free kit

-given to them this week.

-People will be asking him

-for some of it.

-It has been a few years

-since his first cap.

-One evening, Rhys was out having

-food with Sam Warburton.

-Sam had recently been chosen

-as the Lions captain...

-..and a person in the restaurant

-asked them for a photograph.

-However, they didn't want

-a photograph with Sam...

-..but with Rhys, as he looks so much

-like Prince Harry!

-There was a lot of speculation about

-Sam Warburton being the captain...

-..and he knew that he would be named

-the day later.

-How does it feel to have your son

-on the pitch?

-I get terribly nervous watching him.

-When he had his first cap in Japan,

-I was there.

-I could see him singing

-the Anthem...

-..and I wanted him

-to come off the pitch.

-We were alongside a group

-of very proud parents.

-Rhys left Ysgol Glantaf to play

-for the Cardiff Blues.

-It was there he realized his dream.

-He never wanted to go to university.

-He wanted an academy contract

-with the Cardiff Blues.

-He had wonderful years there.

-Ifan also played for Glantaf.

-He was a captain for the school.

-Ifan has been captain

-of the Medics team.

-He's an anaesthetist.

-When he was working in Llanelli,

-he would play for New Dock Stars.

-I was raised in Cardiff,

-but I have strong ties to Aberaeron.

-My mother was from Aberaeron.

-When I was young, my grandmother

-lived with us in Cardiff...

-..and that's why I have

-a strong West Wales accent.

-I can't do the Cardiff accent.

-People would laugh at me

-in school...

-..because I had a different accent

-to them.

-Rhys is good in front of the camera.

-It came to a point and I decided

-that I needed to choose a route...

-..and one career and I chose law,

-rather than broadcasting.

-Mothers do influence their children.

-School has also influenced Rhys

-in his career.

-Thank you, Elinor.

-Next, Carys has

-some household advice for us.

-What are you looking at today,

-Carys?

-I've got a variety of handy tips

-for you to use in the home.

-These are storing tips.

-There's no need to break the bank

-to be able to accomplish these.

-I've also got some cheap items

-that we don't realize how useful...

-..they are around the home.

-We have a bin.

-Use a bin to hold rolls

-of wrapping paper.

-You can store Christmas wrapping

-paper of birthday paper.

-We have a magazine holder.

-This magazine holder is going to

-help me store cling film and foil.

-You can see everything

-that you have.

-Cling film and foil can take up

-a lot of room in the cupboard.

-Next, we have a supermarket

-wine box.

-I've used the free box.

-I get one when I buy milk.

-You can keep all

-of the cleaning items in these.

-It saves a lot of room.

-Next, we have magnets.

-Use magnets to store tweezers.

-You can also keep your knives

-on one of these.

-You can stick them on the wall

-or in the drawer.

-This bowl is for storing screws.

-They will keep everything

-neat and tidy.

-The box itself has been with me

-for a few years.

-You can refill these

-with a variety of objects.

-My next tip is about duvets.

-Place the duvet cover and sheet

-inside the pillow case.

-The whole set can be kept

-in one of the pillow cases.

-It will help you to keep them

-together.

-You could use a rack for chopping

-boards to hold files or books.

-You can keep saucepans

-or plates on them.

-This is a lot cheaper than the ones

-that you buy for offices.

-The next tip is to create a shelf

-under another shelf.

-I've used these for years.

-It saves having to stack things

-so high.

-I love items that collapse.

-This sieve is flat.

-This was 3.

-There's also a collapsible bucket.

-You could also keep it

-in a cupboard.

-We've all got a carousel

-in new kitchens.

-You can buy them to keep them

-in the kitchen.

-Use small shelves in the cupboards

-to keep food.

-You won't waste any foods

-by using one of these.

-We have vacuum bags.

-It sucks out all of the air inside.

-You can keep clothes

-and other items in them.

-They take up less room

-than an air filled bag.

-You only have to refill it with air

-to remove the items.

-These are a lot easier to handle.

-After the break, the busy musician,

-Richard Vaughan chats with us.

-We also visit Castell Henllys to see

-what the site offers for half term.

-.

-Welcome back.

-The musician, Richard Vaughan

-has joined us in the studio.

-Welcome to the programme, Richard.

-A professional musician

-has busy and quiet periods.

-Yes, that's right.

-I get busy and quiet times.

-January and September

-are always quiet.

-However, by Christmas,

-the crazy momentum builds up.

-I was the vice-conductor

-and accompanist for CF1.

-The choir is currently very busy

-rehearsing for Remembrance Sunday.

-On 11 November, we'll be performing

-with Melin Griffith Brass Band.

-That should be a great night.

-The band is fantastic.

-The theme will be

-Rememberance Sunday.

-All proceeds will be given to

-the Cardiff National Eisteddfod.

-I'm the conductor of

-the Cardiff Blues Choir...

-..and my wife,

-Rhiannon is the accompanist.

-We're currently preparing a

-performance of Teilwng yw'r Oen...

-..a rock adaptation of the Messiah,

-by Handel.

-This will be performed

-over Christmas.

-The performance will take place at

-The Tabernacle Chapel, Cardiff...

-..on Saturday 16 December.

-Non Parry of Eden and Luke McCall

-of Phantom of the Opera...

-..will be performing with the choir.

-There will be a big band

-and over 100 performers.

-We had a wonderful welcome

-at the performance in London.

-I accompanied the show for the

-performance at Theatr Felinfach...

-..and in London.

-It was great.

-There are many different choirs

-in Cardiff.

-Every six weeks,

-all the choirs come together.

-This is part of the National

-Eisteddfod Choir for Cardiff.

-For those who aren't members

-of the choirs...

-..Rhiannon and I...

-..will get people to rehearse with

-us in time for the Eisteddfod.

-There will be pop music.

-Geraint Cynan

-is making an arrangement for us.

-This is different

-but it promises to be great.

-It will be great to see everything

-down in Cardiff Bay.

-The Eisteddfod was in Pontcanna

-in 2008.

-It was very easy to miss.

-It will be different down the Bay.

-We want to raise awareness

-of the language in the area.

-I'm guessing you'll need tickets

-for the shows and performances.

-We want to get people involved

-in the whole event.

-The Cardiff Blues Choir

-has only 40% of Welsh members.

-We have non-Welsh speaking members

-too.

-They like being a mixed choir.

-They struggled to sing Calon Lan

-at first...

-..but they're now performing

-some hard pieces.

-I like to see the different ways

-people come to join us.

-Some see us in the games...

-..and are shocked to see us

-singing Latin songs.

-We have a lot of members.

-Elinor was saying that Rhys

-wanted to play for Wales.

-Did you always want to be a

-professional musician?

-I asked for a piano

-at the age of four.

-I had my first lesson in Pontypridd.

-This is a photograph with my hero,

-Ray Gravell.

-That was when I was in Year 7.

-It was one of the best experiences

-of my life on television.

-Rhiannon Pritchard is my wife.

-My wife, Rhiannon and I

-received a lot of praise...

-..when we performed a duet

-at the National Eisteddfod...

-..and won the first prize.

-Are you looking for anywhere

-to visit during half term?

-Look no further as you can visit

-the Castell Henllys Iron Age Fort...

-..for a lesson

-in Pembrokeshire history.

-The site also gives opportunities

-to improve your Welsh skills.

-Castell Henllys is a museum that is

-famous for portraying the Iron Age.

-It not only tells the story

-of the area's history...

-..but has a bilingual cafe called

-Ysgubor that serves all visitors.

-There's a warm welcome

-with a lovely sign by the door.

-Yes, it reads

-"Start your day with a cuppa!"

-My daughter chose to put that up

-and it's very true.

-The menu is bilingual and a lot

-of people ask "What's this 'call'?"

-It took a while

-to realize that they meant cawl!

-It's important to show visitors

-that Wales has her own language...

-..and it's part of our way of life.

-They hear us speaking Welsh

-and take an interest.

-There's a touch of Pembrokeshire

-on the menu with local produce.

-All the staff speak Welsh and

-it gives an excellent impression.

-You've won an award

-for all this incredible work.

-Yes, and it was a huge shock

-to win the Shwmae Award.

-A committee in Pembrokeshire

-has about eleven categories.

-I was nominated

-by the Welsh Language Initiative.

-There was no doubt about

-running my business as bilingual...

-..and I've won this award

-as a result of that.

-We leave the cafe

-for the roundhouses.

-Delun Gibby ensures visitors

-get an all-round experience.

-She's an archaeologist on the site.

-We do guided tours in Welsh

-and for Welsh learners.

-Tourists from across the world

-also show their interest.

-They want to learn phrases such as

-"Iechyd Da!" and "Diolch yn fawr."

-There's a close-knit team

-at Castell Henllys...

-..made up of fluent Welsh speakers

-and Welsh learners.

-This community is reflected

-in our Iron Age performances.

-This is an open-air museum

-that brings the past to life.

-It helps people to empathize

-with being Welsh.

-There's a lot to do

-and to suit everyone.

-You can experience the past,

-dress up and have your face painted.

-We also celebrate Celtic festivals

-and there's a lot to do.

-One thing is certain at the site...

-..even if you're just here to take

-a stroll through the forest...

-..you'll get a warm and hearty

-Welsh and Celtic welcome.

-It looks like

-a great place to visit.

-Angharad Mair is at the helm

-of tonight's Heno.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Happy professional birthday, Sian.

-I started 35 years ago to tomorrow.

-I was upset when Owain

-said he wasn't even born!

-We're celebrating tonight.

-We launch the competition

-to find the new Gelert of Wales...

-..with our special judges.

-There's a fantastic prize

-up for grabs.

-Gerallt is live in Beddgelert...

-Dafydd Emyr joins me to chat about

-the new S4C film, Beddgelert.

-The film, Beddgelert

-is part of S4C's month of legends.

-This is a new film.

-One viewer can win up to 1,000

-in the game, Fancy A Fortune?

-It's ten years since the death of

-the rugby legend, Ray Gravell.

-We hear of a special lunch that was

-held in honour of Ray Gravell...

-..at Parc y Scarlets yesterday.

-After the break, we open

-the covers of our Book Club.

-Sales by the Welsh Books Council

-are at the lowest in six years.

-Elin Williams, the former Head

-of Welsh at Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi...

-..looks at the positive aspects

-of the Welsh literary industry.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-A recent report showed that

-the sales Welsh language books...

-..sold by the Welsh Books Council

-is at its lowest in six years.

-These statistics are true for both

-adults and children's books...

-..and based on the figures of the

-council's distribution centres...

-..that don't receive

-public funding...

-..but the Welsh Books Council

-is funded by the National Assembly.

-We're going to discuss this issue

-with Elin Williams...

-..the former Head of Welsh

-at Ysgol Dyffryn Teifi.

-Welcome to the programme, Elin.

-Thank you.

-What are your thoughts

-on the findings of this report?

-It's very disappointing.

-You have to think about the reasons

-for this.

-As a teacher, I had to encourage

-children to read.

-You hope that they will continue

-reading.

-The reason for this demise could be

-the price of the books.

-There have been great developments

-in Welsh books.

-Sales of children's books

-is on the demise too.

-This is disappointing.

-You often don't know what to buy

-for children.

-I don't read a lot.

-Where should I start?

-A lot of people want to read more.

-I think Owain is a creative person.

-I think there's some great pieces

-by Llwyd Owen.

-His work is very modern.

-It's often from the thriller genre.

-His book, Taffia is great.

-It's important to get

-the right book...

-..for the reader.

-The wrong book can make someone stop

-reading for some time.

-I remember teaching

-some Sixth Formers.

-One boy struggled with his reading.

-He read Lladd Duw by Dewi Prysor...

-..and he loved the book.

-He went on to read more books.

-It's difficult to suggest books.

-We're both fans of the Kindle.

-It's important to point out

-that a lot of people...

-..don't realize that you can get

-Welsh language books for the Kindle.

-Some of my favourite books

-are on the Kindle.

-I paid for those Welsh books

-for the Kindle.

-I'm not sure where that stands

-in terms of sales.

-The different options are available.

-I prefer to read a book

-than a Kindle.

-Autobiographies are very popular.

-There's a lot in the Welsh language.

-People tend to buy more

-autobiographies.

-The books contain various

-photographs.

-You don't really get that

-in a Kindle.

-I think people tend

-to buy the book...

-..if it's factual and

-contains photographs.

-A novel is better on a Kindle.

-Some of these books look like

-they've been used more than once.

-Yn Ol I Leifior and Traed Mewn

-Cyffion are well read by me!

-I own a book

-called 100 Great Reads...

-..that names the 100 English books

-every person should read...

-..and I'm working

-my way through that list.

-I still haven't read War And Peace.

-I read a book by Phillip Pullman.

-It was great.

-The Wales Book of the Year

-is an excellent medium...

-..for promoting

-Welsh language books.

-A lot of the books on the table

-are former winners.

-I've read the work of the late,

-Gareth F Williams.

-I think you'd enjoy Awst yn Anognia.

-There's a lot of great books

-to read.

-After the break,

-Alison Huw joins us in the studio.

-She chats about vegan diets

-at the start of World Vegan Month.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-.

-Welcome back.

-Alison Huw

-has joined us in the studio.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-The Vegan Society dedicates

-the whole of November...

-..to raising awareness

-about this diet.

-Today, we're looking at vegan foods.

-What is a vegan diet?

-Vegans will only

-consume plant-based foods.

-Vegans do not eat meat,

-eggs or dairy products.

-More and more young people are

-opting to follow a vegan diet.

-People are doing this for a number

-of reasons.

-Many associate this diet

-with their general health.

-A lot of people want to include

-these foods...

-..whilst also enjoying some meat.

-It's very important

-to have a variety of food.

-Meat and dairy products contain a

-lot of calcium and other nutrients.

-You have to plan in advance

-to have all these nutrients.

-Sweet items are very difficult

-when you're a vegan.

-I've made pancakes with almond milk.

-You can use any other milk.

-I used coconut oil instead of eggs.

-What do you think, Owain?

-It's alright.

-Restaurants and supermarkets have

-responded to the growing demand...

-..for vegan diets.

-Burgers are very popular.

-I've got some burgers

-made from vegetables and soya.

-You can make it yourself

-but this can be time-consuming...

-..so you can buy these

-in supermarkets.

-There's also a steak

-made from cauliflower.

-We also have the miniature pumpkins.

-You can stuff it with rice and

-other produce...

-..to ensure you have

-all your protein.

-A vegan diet is very colourful.

-There's a lot of colourful items.

-There's a purple potato.

-It tastes just like a normal potato.

-I've also bought some sausages.

-It's difficult to find bread

-for vegans.

-Keep an eye out

-for the "V" emblem...

-..to mark that it's suitable

-for vegans.

-There's an array of yoghurts made

-from coconut milk.

-You need to be careful with pasta.

-Pasta can be made from eggs.

-I found one that is made without

-eggs.

-On tomorrow's Prynhawn Da, Huw looks

-at an array of children's fashion.

-Dr Ann also opens the doors

-of her surgery.

-Ar y Lein with Bethan Gwanas

-follows the S4C news and weather.

-Until tomorrow,

-a very good afternoon to you all.
