-Hello and welcome

-to Wednesday's Prynhawn Da.

-Unfortunately,

-the rain is still falling.

-It doesn't matter because

-you can relax on the sofa with us.

-There's plenty for you to enjoy.

-The rain doesn't give the best

-conditions for walking...

-..but we meet a man walking

-all around Wales for many charities.

-We hear about some gigs that aim

-to renovate the prom in Aberystwyth.

-Lowri Steffan shows how to inject

-yellow into our colour schemes.

-The author, Ifan Morgan Jones

-chats about his book, Dadeni.

-Do you prefer ham,

-cheese, tuna or jam?

-It's British Sandwich Week so Alison

-has an array of sandwiches for us.

-There's a little bit of everything

-for you on today's Prynhawn Da.

-This year's National Eisteddfod

-is being held on Anglesey.

-Each year,

-the Eisteddfod honours people...

-..who have contributed to Wales,

-the language and their communities.

-Gwynfryn Evans from Rhydypennau...

-..is one person who is

-being ordained into the Gorsedd.

-Welcome to the programme, Gwynfryn.

-Congratulations to you

-on getting this honour.

-When did you find out?

-I learnt about this honour

-about a month ago.

-I had a letter inviting me

-to join the Gorsedd of Bards.

-I was amazed!

-I didn't realize that

-I had been nominated for it...

-..until I had the letter.

-Anglesey is important to me.

-Tell us more about your background.

-I've travelled the length

-and breadth of Wales...

-..as part of my job.

-I've worked in various

-creameries across Wales.

-I worked in Anglesey, Felinfach

-and ended up in Llanelli.

-Where are you from originally?

-I'm from Pennal.

-I've seen a massive change

-in the milk industry.

-I'm a farmer's son.

-I would travel to school

-on the milk float!

-The milk industry

-is a big business now.

-Yes, milk is a big business now!

-It's all automatic.

-I remember the period when

-we changed from using churns...

-..to using tankers.

-People will see the Mansel Davies

-tankers across the country.

-You have done a lot of

-volunteer work since retiring.

-I took early retirement...

-..and had been a volunteer

-with Golwg for many years.

-I worked with the Urdd Eisteddfod

-for many years.

-I worked for Antur Teifi...

-..and then moved to

-be the chairman of Golwg360.

-Golwg360 has been running

-for many years.

-It has an incredible team.

-They are at the peak of their craft.

-What made you want to volunteer

-in the first place?

-Cyril Hughes contacted me...

-..and wanted a national secretary

-for the Urdd.

-It was great to work for the Urdd.

-It's all about teamwork.

-John Roberts was very important

-to the team...

-..so it was great

-to be the treasurer.

-I got to know a lot of people.

-I travelled a lot through Wales.

-When I was in Antur Teifi...

-..my grandson couldn't say the

-whole name of Newcastle Emlyn.

-You are looking forward

-to the Eisteddfod.

-Will you stay for the week?

-I'm going to be staying on Anglesey

-for the Eisteddfod week.

-I'll be wearing the blue robes.

-Thank you, Gwynfryn.

-It's one thing to take a stroll

-to enjoy the Welsh countryside...

-..but something very different

-to walk around the whole of Wales!

-This is the challenge faced by

-one brave man over the coming weeks.

-Rhodri Gomer met him

-at the start of his trek.

-Since Malcolm Taff Davies lost

-his wife to cancer back in 2005...

-..the former marine from Henllan

-has completed many sponsored walks.

-Over 1,000 miles of the coastal path

-awaits him over the coming months...

-..but his journey has just begun.

-Malcolm is set to start

-the third stage of his walk.

-I've aptly met him on this rainy day

-at the Wetlands Centre, Penclacwydd.

-I started in Carmarthen on Saturday.

-I'll be heading from

-Llanelli Wetlands to Chepstow...

-..will follow Offa's Dyke to Chester

-and around North Wales.

-I'll follow the Coast Path

-down towards Pembrokeshire...

-..and finish in Carmarthen

-on 22 July.

-His many walks

-over the past decade...

-..include Hadrian's Wall, Glyndwr's

-Way and John O'Groats to Land's End.

-But why did he choose

-this challenge?

-I'm a Welshman

-but I live in Scotland.

-I joined the Marines in 1972

-and I haven't lived in Wales since.

-However, I wanted to raise money

-for a special cause in Wales.

-My cousin's daughter, Heti

-was born deaf.

-She's had an operation

-to implant a hearing aid.

-Therefore, I'm raising money for her

-and Parcyrhun School in Ammanford.

-Parcyrhun School has

-a hearing-impaired resource space.

-We have twelve children there with

-different ranges of hearing loss.

-Heti came to us at the age of three.

-She's one of the few in the UK

-with an auditory brainstem implant.

-It's given her a lot of access

-to environmental sound.

-It has transformed her life.

-The children will track Malcolm's

-journey over the next two months.

-They'll use his journey to help

-develop numeracy and literature.

-How long will it take

-to walk around Wales?

-It will take me, hopefully,

-around 70 days in total.

-How many miles will it take you

-to walk around Wales?

-The Wales Coast Path and Offa's Dyke

-is 1,030 miles.

-Where did you sleep last night?

-In a tent.

-I'll carry a sleeping bag, tent

-and change of clothing.

-I'm not taking any food because

-I'm travelling along the Coast Path.

-I'll be passing shops

-so I hope they're going to be open.

-I might stop in a few pubs

-for a meal and a couple of pints!

-I'll also be chatting to people

-on the way to ask for donations.

-Malcolm is also fund-raising

-for the Wales Air Ambulance.

-If you'd like to make a donation,

-follow the link via this website.

-Everyone on Prynhawn Da

-wishes Malcolm all the best.

-Good luck to Malcolm Davies.

-I keep thinking about blisters!

-After the break, Steffan Rees

-chats about Gigs Cantre'r Gwaelod.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-In January 2014, sections of the

-prom in Aberystwyth were damaged.

-This was due to some

-very stormy weather.

-The historic bandstand was removed

-which marked the end of an era.

-The storms

-affected the whole community...

-..but a new project with a series

-of gigs aims to resurrect the area.

-Steffan Rees joins us to discuss

-Gigs Cantre'r Gwaelod.

-Welcome to the programme, Steffan.

-Tell us more about this venture.

-I'm a fan of the Welsh rock scene,

-music gigs and festivals in Wales.

-There's a gap for gigs and festivals

-in Ceredigion and around West Wales.

-I live in Aberystwyth

-and I feel a little disappointed.

-I registered with the

-Community Leadership Academy.

-Cered is involved in the event.

-Theatr Felinfach offered training,

-mentoring and some funding.

-I decided to start a project

-of my own.

-The bandstand at Aberystwyth

-is the perfect location.

-The location and facilities

-for this event are fantastic.

-I wanted to hold a few gigs during

-the summer on a Sunday afternoon.

-Many people want to hold events

-like this.

-Yes, and the bandstand is fantastic.

-The facilities are modern.

-It needs to be utilized.

-We're fortunate to welcome

-Gwilym Bowen Rhys to the stage.

-Meibion y Mynydd will also perform.

-We hope the event attracts

-fluent and non-Welsh speakers.

-It's quite a challenge to organize

-the event.

-It's a new project.

-It involves the community and

-we are appealing for public help.

-The first gigs starts this Sunday

-with Gwilym Bowen Rhys.

-He's followed by a local choir.

-The aim is to continue

-with more gigs like this.

-We want to see how this event

-works out.

-We want to see how much interest

-it attracts.

-We hope to organize

-a similar event in September.

-We would like to hold more events

-across the county.

-Gigs Cantre'r Gwaelod

-is the title of the event.

-We hope there aren't any storms on

-Sunday!

-Thank you, Steffan.

-Yellow is the main colour

-for interior design this season.

-It's a bright, summery colour.

-Many people are nervous about

-using the colour in their homes...

-..but you've got a lot of

-yellow items in your home, Owain.

-Yes, I've got yellow curtains

-in my lounge and bedroom.

-I'm either ahead of the trend

-or very old-fashioned.

-Our sofas are yellow too!

-Lowri Steffan has some tips on

-injecting yellow to our interiors.

-Welcome to the programme, Lowri.

-Don't be afraid to use yellow

-in the home.

-You don't have to use yellow sofas.

-Use what you've got already.

-We'll incorporate hints of yellow

-to a grey backdrop in the home.

-Let's start with the wallpaper.

-This Laura Ashley wallpaper

-costs 28.

-It isn't a busy pattern.

-The colour is also light.

-You can wallpaper just one wall.

-In the winter,

-you may want a more plain colour.

-There's plenty of interest

-and it's fresh.

-You can build up the colour.

-The bedding from Laura Ashley

-varies between 22 and 60.

-There's a 30% sale in Laura Ashley

-at the moment.

-It's a great way

-of adding a touch of yellow.

-The yellow stands out

-against the grey.

-The cushion on the bed

-from Laura Ashley is priced 28.

-This is a beautiful colour that

-draws the colour out of the bedding.

-This a lovely velvet cushion.

-This cushion would sit well

-with this look.

-The floral cushion

-is 16 from Next.

-It has quite a bold print.

-Some people think the pattern

-and colour is too strong.

-This yellow is more golden.

-This lovely throw

-from Next costs 70.

-It's grey on one side

-and yellow on the other.

-You can place it on the bed

-so you can see both colours.

-You can choose between the grey

-or yellow.

-This is how to add hints of yellow

-to the room.

-Next, we enter the living room.

-We have more natural colours

-with the greens and blues.

-We start with the cushions.

-Cushions can transform a room.

-The sofa cushions are 20

-and 16 from Next.

-I wanted to show you

-that you can mix patterns.

-There are geometric and

-diamond patterns on these cushions.

-You can sit them

-next to each other.

-There's a tapestry look

-on one of the cushions.

-It's more about getting the same

-colour than matching the pattern.

-They work well together.

-You could even add a third cushion.

-This lovely vase

-costs 16 from Next.

-You can place the vase

-in the centre of the table.

-You can also add it

-with a group of vases.

-The set of tea-lights

-is 12 from Next.

-Group them together

-to create a great look.

-Add some artificial flowers

-to the look.

-We also have a natural look with

-this wallpaper.

-The wallpaper for the living room

-is 28 from Laura Ashley.

-There's a touch of yellow or mustard

-in the wallpaper.

-The candlesticks from Dunelm

-are 20 and 15.

-They are faux crystal.

-They reflect the light

-that is thrown into the room.

-so join us in a few minutes.

-In order to make

-the perfect sandwich...

-..you need fresh, colourful
