-People across the UK are suffering

-from their razor sharp bites.

-The pharmacist, Catrin Chapple

-has advice on treating these bites.

-Welcome to the programme, Catrin.

-Horseflies are a major problem

-at the moment.

-This summer we have had

-warm weather.

-They tend to come out

-when the weather is warmer.

-You don't know where the horsefly

-has been.

-They often rest on animals.

-We are walking around in the summer

-and our skin is more exposed.

-Horseflies have razor sharp jaws

-and can cause a very painful bite.

-They grow to fairly large critters

-and can reach 2.25 inches in length.

-They tend to cut the skin

-with their bite.

-You want to avoid them at first.

-Apply insect repellent to the bite.

-Cover up as much as you can.

-Keep the bite clean

-to avoid infection.

-Horsefly bites develop into large,

-itchy swollen bumps within minutes.

-Use an ice-pack to reduce

-the swelling.

-People react to these bites

-differently.

-My mother was bitten on the ankle

-and needed a course of antibiotics.

-Seek medical advice

-if the bite worsens.

-Many people are

-going away this month.

-You have to prepare

-for your travels.

-Some travel abroad

-or stay in this country.

-Use sun cream outdoors

-to help protect the skin.

-Ensure you slap on the sun cream

-and keep hydrated.

-You can burn easily in this country.

-It can be deceiving.

-Yes, it's important to be careful

-with sunburn in this country too.

-The sun's rays can be strong

-in overcast conditions.

-Take a First Aid kit on days out.

-Every home should have

-a First Aid kit.

-Ensure it's packed with plasters

-and antiseptics.

-You can even get plasters

-that will appeal to children.

-We also eat rich foods on holidays.

-Pack medication that will aid the

-indigestion and an upset stomach.

-You can buy a pack that you can buy

-or make up your own pack at home.

-It's important to take

-all your medication on holidays.

-Yes, don't forget about

-your medication.

-Many people will go away

-and forget or lose their medication.

-Some travellers will run out

-of their prescriptions.

-Visit your pharmacy and stock up on

-your medication before travelling.

-There can be language issues

-in foreign climbs.

-Carry out some research

-before you travel abroad.

-Make a list of the tablets

-and medication that you're taking.

-To help doctors abroad, note names

-of allergies in a foreign language.

-Always check what jabs you need

-to travel to certain countries.

-It makes life easier for all.

-We travel in many forms now.

-Some people suffer from

-travel sickness.

-Speak to your doctor

-to see what suits you.

-You can also take over the counter

-travel sickness medication.

-There are also bands

-that you can wear on your wrist.

-It's important that you try

-to pack your medication.

-The same applies if you take

-insulin.

-Keep your insulin in a cool box.

-Pack your medication

-in a different bag too.

-After the break...

-..Lowri Steffan has tips on

-using animal patterns in our home.

-Our young Book Club members review

-Cipio'r Llyw by Awen Schiavone...

-..and Pluen by Manon Steffan Ros.

-.

-Welcome back.

-It's time for some interior design

-advice from Lowri Steffan.

-Patterns featuring animals

-are everywhere at the moment.

-There's an abundance of furnishings

-of this theme in the shops now.

-We've seem them all summer

-with birds and flamingos.

-As we head into the autumn, we have

-more wildlife-themed furnishings.

-The shops are looking

-to the autumn now.

-The palate

-is a lot darker and richer.

-The rabbit cushion is 39.50

-from Marks and Spencer.

-This is typical of this theme.

-There's a lot of detail

-on this cushion...

-..and it's almost three dimensional.

-The rabbit cushion with

-the pompom tail is 14 from Asda.

-This is a lot cheaper

-than the first cushion.

-It would look great

-in a girl's bedroom.

-This is a great grown-up look.

-Combine it with this natural looking

-bed throw.

-We've got a hedgehog tea light

-for 3.50 from Dunelm.

-This is lovely and a great touch.

-I also like the mice.

-They look pewter

-but are made from resin.

-These items come from Asda.

-There's a hare mug for 2.50

-from Wilkinson's.

-It's a simple look.

-There's a lovely collection

-from Asda.

-You can get fox and badger mugs

-from Asda at 3 each.

-These are also great for children

-and enticing their interest...

-..in wildlife.

-They all come from Asda

-and part of the same collection.

-They also look quite traditional.

-Let's move to Africa.

-This look is wonderful.

-I really like it.

-We start with Marks and Spencer.

-They have a lot of items.

-They have created a story here.

-It's 17.50 for a set of four plates

-from Marks and Spencer.

-The plates all come

-in the same size.

-You can buy plates of

-a different size too.

-You can use these plates

-on a daily basis.

-You can also wash them

-in the dishwater.

-You could even hang

-them on the wall.

-They don't look

-as if they are plastic.

-The burnt orange elephant cushion

-is 19.50 from Marks and Spencer.

-You can see that the store

-is helping you build this look.

-The gold ornament featuring

-four animals is 20 from Dunelm.

-This is a resin ornament.

-It's got an autumnal look.

-Place it next to the sofa

-on top of a side table.

-You don't have to spend a fortune to

-attain this look.

-Combine the cushions

-with some plain cushions.

-The small African-themed

-wooden table is 44.99 from TK Maxx.

-It's a great table

-that compliments this look.

-There's a touch of an Asian theme

-in this detailed table.

-They look like quality items.

-Cipio'r Llyw by Awen Schiavone

-and Pluen by Manon Steffan Ros...

-..are under the microscopes

-of Mirain Dafydd and Lewis Dafydd.

-Welcome to you both.

-We start with Pluen

-by Manon Steffan Ros.

-The story is about 12-year-old Huw.

-We follow Huw on his summer holiday.

-He has a project over the summer.

-He finds out how World War II

-has affected his family.

-His grandmother's brother

-got a white feather...

-..because he didn't go to war.

-I didn't know that they would

-hand out a white feather...

-..to those who opposed the war.

-I was able to understand

-the novel more...

-..after spending a week

-with Northwalians at Glan-llyn.

-I enjoyed the novel.

-I prefer stories

-with a lot of mystery.

-I would give Pluen 9.5 out of 10.

-I would recommend it.

-This novel is great for

-my friends.

-There are all emotions

-in this novels.

-I'm 11 years old

-and it suits my age range.

-At first, I was apprehensive about

-reading the novel, Cipio'r Llyw.

-The story didn't appeal to me

-initially.

-We're introduced to a pirate

-from Wales in the 18th century.

-We follow 15-year-old Hywel Dafydd

-on his swashbuckling adventures.

-Hywel's travels take him

-to Sierra Leone and Barbados.

-Hywel is imprisoned for three months

-but soon becomes captain of a ship.

-It's a very interesting read.

-You got a picture of the era rather

-than the places that he visited.

-It reminds of childhood characters

-like Black Bart and Harri Morgan.

-It's the debut novel for the author.

-The novel was an easy read

-and it wasn't comprehensive.

-I would recommend this novel

-for a younger audience.

-I'm 17 years old.

-I think it's a great holiday read.

-I wouldn't tend to read this type

-of book but I'm open to any books.

-Do you struggle to find books for

-your age group in Welsh?

-I find it difficult to search for

-a novel in the Welsh language...

-..for my age range.

-I give Cipio'r Llyw 8 out of 10.

-Do you struggle to find books

-for your age group in Welsh, Lewis?

-There's plenty of Welsh novels

-for my age range...

-..but I would like to see more.

-We are both going to

-the Eisteddfod this year too.

-Pluen by Manon Steffan Ros

-is published by Y Lolfa for 5.99.

-Cipio'r Llyw by Awen Schiavone

-is published by Y Lolfa for 6.99.

-There's still plenty to enjoy

-on today's Prynhawn Da in a moment.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back to Prynhawn Da.

-In a moment, Ieuan steps into the

-garden to offer his monthly advice.

-There's also tips on making

-nutritional dishes for the family...

-..from the food blogger,

-Ellie Jones.

-Don't you move a muscle!

-The Royal Welsh Show in Llanelwedd

-saw the launch of City Deal.

-The project sees the collaboration

-of the county councils of Swansea...

-..Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire

-and Neath Port Talbot.

-Let's hear more about the project...

-..from the councillors,

-Cefin Campbell and Emlyn Dole...

-..who are members of the committee

-that operates the scheme.

-Welcome to you both.

-What is the City Deal?

-The City Deal was launched

-at the Royal Welsh Show.

-It features four counties.

-The City Deal

-will receive investment...

-..from the National Assembly

-and the British Government.

-We chose eleven specific projects...

-..as part of our City Deal.

-The projects

-that will receive funding...

-..deal with the health sector,

-energy, digital manufacturers...

-..and successful universities.

-A sum of 241 million

-will be invested...

-..to support and build upon

-the strengths of specific projects.

-This is over 15 years.

-It's expected to produce

-over 10,000 jobs.

-These jobs will come in the form

-of Yr Egin in Carmarthen.

-Cefin has been working on

-the agricultural aspect of it.

-Yes, I've worked

-with the rural affairs.

-It's my role to help to regenerate

-the rural areas of wales.

-This is being managed

-by a special committee...

-..that's made up of councillors

-from each of the districts...

-..and from different

-political parties.

-We plan to develop the economy

-and create job.

-We'll also look at creating jobs

-for young people...

-..and working on broadband

-acceptability.

-This is very challenging.

-It's a collaboration

-between five counties.

-I hope that when the rural strategy

-is developed in Carmarthenshire...

-..we hope to involve

-the other counties.

-Brexit is on the horizon.

-A lot of people are worried...

-..about the way Brexit

-is going to affect us.

-Three months ago, the four counties

-signed a special agreement.

-We're pioneers in this field.

-We'll manage it all in

-Carmarthenshire.

-Good luck with this new

-and important scheme.

-It isn't the weather for gardening

-but Ieuan has his monthly tips next.

-Today, he's focusing on garlic

-and hydrangeas.

-Last December, you may recall

-that I planted some garlic cloves.

-Those plants are ready to be picked.

-Garlic should be harvested

-when the lower leaves are yellow...

-..but the higher leaves

-are still green.

-It means the plant has reduced its

-nutritional supply to the leaves.

-I've harvested some but left these

-to show you the process...

-..and in that time, the leaves

-have lost all their greenness.

-You can leave the plants

-to dry out and die in the soil...

-..but it heightens the risk of

-rotting bulbs and losing the crop.

-It's best to pick the plants

-when the leaves are half green...

-..and allow them to dry

-and harden over three weeks.

-As a result, the bulbs

-should last for at least six months.

-First, use a fork to soften the soil

-around the plant and the bulb...

-..but take care not

-to bruise the plant.

-Dry the plants in a warm

-and dry place for a week...

-..with the leaves still attached.

-In that week, the goodness from the

-leaves will have entered the bulbs.

-The leaves will turn brown

-as you can see with these plants.

-Snip the stems with a scissors

-to about five inches in length.

-Next, brush off any excess soil

-and trim the roots.

-Return the bulbs to dry

-but place them upside down.

-After another week to fortnight

-of drying and hardening...

-..remove the stems and roots and

-put them somewhere cool to be used.

-Take a look at the stunning

-red shade of this hydrangea.

-I've got another shrub with pink

-flowers that have hints of purple.

-It blue flowers in acidic soil or

-pale pink flowers in alkaline soil.

-The colour varies from blue and pink

-in neutral soil.

-The Welsh names mean the Rainbow

-Flower or Flower of 13 colours.

-The petals get their blue hue

-from aluminium...

-..but the roots cannot absorb

-the aluminium in alkaline soil.

-If you want blue flowers

-but don't have acidic soil...

-..treat the shrub every week with a

-colourant with aluminium sulphate.

-The sulphur helps

-to give acidic soil.

-Dissolve an ounce of the colourant

-in five litres of water...

-..and water the shrub with this

-mixture every week in the summer.

-The name of hydrangea stems for

-the Greek term for water, hydro...

-..as these shrubs need a lot

-of water to grow successfully.

-..especially in August when

-they produce buds for next year.

-A lack of water now restricts

-their ability to flower next year.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's fair to say that children can

-be very fussy eaters...

-..especially when it

-comes to healthy options.

-Grandparents who are watching

-and babysitting right now...

-..will know exactly

-what I'm talking about!

-Today, we're joined by

-the food blogger, Ellie Jones.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-You write blogs on creating dishes

-with hidden nutrients...

-..for the little members

-of our families.

-It's a challenge to get little ones

-to eat healthily.

-It can be difficult.

-The food needs to be colourful.

-You should discuss food

-with your children.

-I've got two sons.

-..and my third is on the way!

-We start with pesto.

-I've got some recipes that are

-quick, simple and cheap to make.

-Pesto is very easy to make

-and is great with pasta.

-I could eat pesto every day!

-Pesto is easy to make

-and the children can help you too.

-The children enjoyed

-tearing up the basil.

-I make mine in a pestle and mortar.

-You can make it in a blender.

-Grind the pine nuts, the basil,

-garlic and olive oil.

-It should last for a few days

-in the fridge.

-Would you combine it with pasta?

-chicken, tuna...

-The boys love the soup.

-It's lovely with baked chicken

-and mozzarella.

-It's also great with fresh tuna.

-I'm having pasta and pesto tonight!

-I keep the sauce in the fridge

-and even freeze it.

-This is very easy to freeze.

-Pesto is very easy to make

-and is great with pasta.

-It's cheaper to make

-a large batch of this...

-..than buying it in a jar.

-You can buy the tomatoes

-that are on offer.

-The homemade version

-is low in sugar and salt.

-You can also serve it

-with other things.

-Pizza is great for making at home

-on a dull day.

-We use the tomato sauce on the base.

-Let's move on the dessert.

-A compote is a great way

-to get children to enjoy fruit.

-I often use frozen berries.

-Frozen berries

-are cheaper than the fresh ones.

-Boil them in a saucepan

-and you have your own compote.

-You can add a touch of sugar

-if you need it.

-I don't like to give my children

-too much sugar.

-Mix it with yoghurt.

-It's similar to a famous yoghurt!

-We have the compote with pancakes

-and porridge.

-I enjoy the compote

-with a chocolate brownie...

-..after I've put

-the children to bed!

-My son wouldn't drink milk...

-..so I experimented

-with these milk lollies.

-You can make flavoured milk lollies

-by adding banana or strawberry.

-I think we should try them later.

-Don't forget about tonight's Heno

-at 7.00pm that climaxes with...

-..Fancy A Fortune?

-# Fancy A Fortune? #

-I'm going on holiday

-if I win Fancy A Fortune?

-You won't see me again

-if I win Fancy A Fortune?

-Here we go!

-Pick up the phone

-to find out how much you can win.

-You've won 1,000!

-500!

-You've won 75, Marged.

-You've won 1,000!

-Even Gerallt is excited.

-Fancy A Fortune?

-Owain has joined us to tell us

-more about tonight's Heno.

-Wednesday is the night

-that we play Fancy A Fortune?

-1,000 with the spin of our wheel.

-We'll set a simple question

-at 7.00pm.
