-Hello and welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-It's great to have your company

-on another dull and blustery day.

-There's nothing dull

-about today's programme.

-We've got plenty to entertain you

-on this Wednesday afternoon.

-We open our Book Club to discuss

-Sioned Wiliam's novel, Chwynnu.

-We look ahead to the YFC Eisteddfod

-in Aberystwyth during this weekend.

-Alwyn Humphreys presents a Salt of

-the Earth plate to a worthy viewer.

-Alison Huw outlines the calorie

-content of some festive treats.

-Huw opens his fashion wardrobe with

-items that'll keep us warm and dry.

-Stay tuned to Rhodri and myself

-over the next 50 minutes.

-Welcome to Prynhawn Da.

-News broke last night of the passing

-of the New Zealand rugby great...

-..Jonah Lomu at the age of 40.

-The winger scores 37 tries

-in 63 international matches.

-He also played ten games for the

-Cardiff Blues between 2005 and 2006.

-Rhodri Davies had the pleasure of

-meeting him on several occasions.

-Thank you for joining us, Rhodri.

-This is very sad news.

-It was a shock for us.

-The rugby world is in shock.

-He was a rugby giant.

-A few weeks ago, he was in

-Britain for the Rugby World Cup.

-We all knew that he had

-a problem with his kidneys...

-..but nobody expected to lose him

-this young.

-He did some incredibly charity work.

-What impact did he have

-on the rugby world?

-He changed the world of rugby.

-Nobody else compared to him.

-Many have said that this recent

-Rugby World Cup was the best...

-..but to me, it was the one in 1995.

-People would call him a freak.

-He played the same way

-against everyone.

-He was a phenomenon.

-He was 6'5 and 18 stone

-and a left wing.

-If you compare him

-with Shane Williams...

-..it would take 4 of Shanes

-to make a Jonah.

-It's a special game to me really,

-to play with plenty of talent.

-Great players, ex All Blacks

-and current All Blacks as well.

-How are you managing

-with all of this travelling?

-You've only just recovered

-from the French test.

-When you go into a new country,

-you always seem to find an energy.

-Wales is such a beautiful place

-and I'm enjoying it immensely.

-What was he like as a person?

-I was lucky enough to meet him

-a few times.

-I got to meet John Charles too.

-They were respectful and shy.

-After the Rugby World Cup in 1995...

-..the game became professional.

-He also released

-a rugby console game.

-I asked him for his autograph.

-We will never see his like again.

-We send our condolences to

-Jonah's family and friends.

-After the break...

-..our Book Club opens the covers

-of Sioned Wiliam's novel, Chwynnu.

-We also look forward to

-this year's YFC Eisteddfod.

-Keith Morris joins us

-on Heno this Friday...

-..to judge our autumn

-photography competition.

-This week, we'll preview

-a collection of your photographs.

-See you in a few minutes.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-It's time for us to open

-our weekly Book Club.

-Today, we're discussing the latest

-novel from Sioned Wiliam, Chwynnu.

-In a moment, Tegrudd Thomas and

-Hafwen John share their thoughts.

-First, let's welcome

-Sion Jenkins and Liz Llewelyn.

-Tell us about the story, Sion.

-This novel is set in the world

-of the media.

-The main character is Dylan.

-He is a producer in the media.

-We follow his life and the events

-that happen to him.

-His life takes a different direction

-in this novel.

-Sioned knows a lot

-about the media world.

-Sioned Wiliam is an award-winning

-television producer.

-I think she incorporated her

-knowledge of this world...

-..into the book.

-There are strong characters

-in this story.

-They are all dotted around Wales.

-The story shows the differences

-of living in the countryside...

-..and between

-North and South Wales.

-Is there a lot of humour

-in this book?

-There's plenty of humour

-in this book.

-There's a lot of tongue and cheek.

-Sioned has a lot to say about the

-world of media.

-She loses this comedy half way

-through the book...

-..and becomes more serious.

-Is it any easy read?

-The book is quite easy to read.

-The title, Chwynnu or 'roots' is

-associated with the gardening world.

-The title takes on a different and

-deeper meaning as you read the book.

-The main character

-starts to examine his life.

-He tries to remove anything

-bad and damaging in his life.

-I did enjoy reading this novel.

-I do agree with Sion.

-The story changes suddenly

-half way through.

-Let's hear what Tegrudd Thomas from

-Gloucester had to say about Chwynnu.

-Initially, I thought the story was

-dull but it improved after a while.

-I thought the story was going to be

-about people who work in the media.

-But all this changed when Dylan's

-life took a different direction.

-The title, 'Chwynnu'

-made a lot of sense after this.

-It was a pleasure to read it

-from start to finish - fantastic.

-It's a great novel to read

-on a wet and windy afternoon.

-Enjoy.

-Hafwen John from Bala

-has sent us an email.

-'This author can certainly write

-and create characters...

-'..in both comic

-and sad circumstances.

-'Is revenge, recovery or forgiveness

-the main theme of this novel?

-'It doesn't matter,

-as I thoroughly enjoyed it.

-'I would've read it in one sitting

-but I had to catch some sleep!

-'Congratulations to Sioned Wiliam.

-'I want to read her next novel on

-my holiday in Budapest next month.'

-Thank you.

-Both of them were pleased

-with the novel.

-This is Sioned's second novel.

-Has her style changed

-since the first novel?

-I haven't read her first book.

-There's plenty of tongue and cheek

-in this novel.

-The story changes half way through

-and become dramatic towards the end.

-There are many birds on the cover.

-Is there a reason for this?

-There's reference to a bird

-in this novel.

-The depiction of a red robin

-and the old man is effective.

-The old man is a gardener.

-There's reference to a red robin

-throughout the novel.

-The red robin changes

-its tune during the seasons.

-You compare this change in birdsong

-to changes in Dylan Walter's life.

-I would give it 7 out of 10.

-I'd give 5 out of 10.

-Llinos would love to win

-this week's competition.

-Here are the details.

-Everyday life is always busy so

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Still to come

-on today's programme...

-..Alison reveals hidden calories

-in our festive foods and drinks.

-Huw also keeps us warm

-in this stormy weather.

-Stay tuned to us.

-Alwyn Humphreys is roaming the land

-with a Salt of the Earth plate.

-Today, an active lady from Boncath

-receives our special plate.

-Today, we've come to Boncath

-in the north of Pembrokeshire...

-..to present a Salt of the Earth

-plate to one of the local stalwarts.

-A crochet club has gathered in this

-hall and it's celebrating 20 years.

-Among them is a very active lady

-who is worthy of this special plate.

-Let's give her a surprise.

-Hello. Good afternoon.

-How are you today?

-Fine, thank you.

-This is your crochet club.

-You're celebrating a birthday.

-Are you Mela?

-Can you stand up so we can see you?

-You've got a delightful name.

-Happy birthday to the club

-but it was you who started it.

-I was here at the start.

-I know your age. Can I reveal it?

-You're 92 years old. Is this right?

-You're 92 years old. Is this right?

-

-Yes, almost.

-You're incredibly active in the area

-and we know everything about you.

-Today, you've got a new title

-- Salt of the Earth.

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you very much.

-Group tutor and founder,

-Beryl George nominated her.

-We started to make crochet items

-in aid of the 2005 Urdd Eisteddfod.

-We haven't stopped since then.

-We wanted to something different

-to celebrate our 20th anniversary.

-This is a delightful group and it's

-important to follow your elders.

-They inspire

-someone younger to learn.

-I've experienced this

-throughout my life.

-Both our mothers knew each other.

-Mela used to look after me.

-She looked after you?

-What's she like as a person?

-She's always happy and smiling.

-She knows everyone

-and has a fantastic memory.

-I've called her Mrs Jenkins

-since I was a child.

-She lived in the city and in

-Newport, Pembrokeshire with us.

-But the Boncath community benefits

-from her talents and kindness now.

-She writes for the local magazine,

-Clebran...

-..and for Y Seren

-with the Baptist Church...

-..and also attends

-a prayer class on Thursday.

-Mela is 92 years old

-but she drives a brand-new car.

-She had it when she turned 90

-and she drives it everywhere.

-She goes everywhere in the car

-and enjoys life.

-We hope she reaches 100.

-She'll have a massive party then.

-Boncath will be celebrating.

-Congratulations again.

-We hope you have many more years

-of being active in the community...

-..and bring so much

-pleasure to everyone.

-APPLAUSE

-Congratulations to Mela.

-We hear that they are

-watching today.

-Alison Huw has joined us.

-Your topic today

-will interest everyone...

-..namely the hidden calories

-in our festive food and drinks.

-People eat 7,000 calories

-on Christmas Day.

-Most of us surpass our recommended

-daily intake of calories by 2pm!

-The festive period is a time

-to enjoy and celebrate...

-..with family,

-friends and colleagues.

-However, you can make small changes

-to benefit your health.

-By cutting back

-on the hidden calories...

-..you could enjoy Christmas

-even more!

-We've already purchased

-the chocolate boxes...

-..but I opened one over the weekend.

-In the past, we would only overeat

-on Christmas day, Boxing Day...

-..and in the lead up

-to the New Year.

-On average, we put on six pounds

-during the festive period.

-We have to work hard to get rid

-of that extra weight in January.

-We all enjoy a mince pie

-at Christmas.

-I bumped into Alison in the shop

-and she was purchasing mince pies.

-I've bought these mince pies.

-A mince pie with a dollop of

-brandy butter can be 500 calories.

-Most mince pies contain

-over 200 calories.

-The butter contains more calories

-than the mince pie itself.

-However, you can cut back on the

-calories with an open mince pie.

-There will be 30 fewer calories

-without the lid on the pie.

-You could cut out shapes from the

-pasty lids to save on calories.

-Smaller mince pies

-only contain 100 calories.

-You could even indulge in a little

-brandy butter with smaller pies.

-A handful of nuts

-can contain over 300 calories.

-They are full of calories and fats.

-Salted nuts also make you consume

-more drink due to their saltiness.

-Non-salted nuts won't make you

-reach for another glass of wine.

-There are lots of hidden calories

-in these foods.

-Alcohol is another problem area.

-There are lots

-of hidden calories in alcohol.

-There is 10% more calories in

-a 5% lager compared to a 4% lager.

-By the end of the night, that one

-percent can make quite a difference.

-However, you can swap drinks

-without feeling deprived.

-A glass of red wine is 120 calories.

-A glass of prosecco has only 80

-which is a saving of 40 calories.

-Baileys is popular with a cup

-of coffee at the end of the night.

-A glass of Baileys

-contains 147 calories.

-A glass of brandy has almost

-40 calories less than Baileys.

-What about breakfast?

-Christmas Day is when we consume

-the most calories.

-Scrambled eggs with smoked salmon

-can be a luxurious breakfast.

-However, there's no need

-to add cream to the eggs.

-It's a rich meal even

-without the cream.

-What about Christmas dinner?

-During the Christmas dinner itself,

-opt for white meat instead.

-Don't eat the turkey skin.

-When chopping potatoes,

-don't cut them too small.

-That's when they absorb more fat.

-Do you really need to add butter

-to your vegetables?

-Let's move on to coffee.

-We should eat Salmon in filo pastry

-instead of using puff pastry.

-Cut calories in coleslaw by swapping

-mayonnaise for Greek yoghurt.

-The taste will stay the same but

-you'll cut out the fat!

-After the break...

-..Huw offers suggestions on how to

-look stylish in the stormy weather.

-.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Huw has battled the elements

-this morning...

-..to bring us this collection of

-clothing that keeps us warm and dry.

-Welcome to the programme.

-What have you got for us, Huw?

-I can cope with the wind and rain...

-..but I don't agree with Alison Huw!

-A Christmas without Baileys

-and mince pies?

-I can't do it!

-Baileys signals the start

-of Christmas for me.

-This morning,

-I was out in the wind and rain.

-Women were trying to get out

-of their cars in their big capes!

-However, the capes flew everywhere.

-You need to be sensible

-in this windy weather.

-However, you can look stylish.

-This jacket is perfect

-if you're going skiing.

-There's 30% off this coat

-at Monsoon.

-This coat contains a special foam

-that will keep you warm.

-However, it will also keep you cool

-if you start sweating.

-There's a funnel collar

-that will keep your neck warm.

-When you open the coat,

-the cold air will hit you.

-If you like to add a scarf

-for colour...

-..keep it inside your coat.

-This morning,

-the wind speeds were 75mph!

-If you would like to look smart

-to go out for lunch...

-..opt for layers.

-Here I have a vest, a light jumper

-and a light cardigan.

-I've teamed these with another

-heavy cardigan and faux fur collar.

-There's a clip on the collar

-which will help it stay in place.

-The faux fur will keep you warm as

-it traps the warm air.

-You should opt for natural fibres

-against your skin.

-If you don't want a faux fur collar,

-there are lots of alternatives.

-There's a scarf wrapped around

-this mannequin.

-However, this scarf isn't too long.

-You can tie it around

-your shoulders.

-This coat has a high wool content.

-It also contains polyamide

-which will retain its shape.

-You can wide your layers

-under this coat.

-You will look very posh

-in this coat.

-A camel coat always looks great.

-The coat only costs around 80.

-You should keep warm with a scarf,

-hat and gloves.

-If you're going to wear a scarf,

-makes sure it's tight...

-..to stop it from blowing away.

-Shearling is fashionable

-at the moment.

-It's a type of sheepskin.

-Most of the sheepskin

-on the high street is fake.

-You can also fit a scarf

-beneath the coat.

-I've opted for classic colours.

-In this slot, I try to show you how

-to wear clothes you already own.

-You should keep warm

-in this terrible weather.

-It's windy, raining and very cold.

-Be prepared before

-you head outdoors.

-Mari has joined us in the studio.

-Happy birthday to Llinos Lee!

-Thank you very much.

-I have a cake for you.

-What delights are on Heno tonight?

-You can win between 50 and 1,000

-in our Fancy A Fortune? competition.

-We're live with Llinos

-in Pontardawe tonight.

-There's a poetry event on

-in Pontardawe.

-We report from Food Matters Live

-Conference at the Excel in London.

-Don't forget to join me at 7.00pm.

-I attended the food conference

-last year and I ate so much!

-I had a birthday cake last night.

-On tomorrow's programme,

-Huw returns with more fashion.

-..I'll look ahead to Christmas.

-We continue our series on

-new businesses around Wales.

-I'll hear of a new company

-that's started in Cardiff.

-I've come to meet the owner and

-find out if I need to wear these.

-Dr Ann also opens up our surgery.

-Fferm Ffactor: Brwydr y Ffermwyr

-follows the news and weather on S4C.

-Until tomorrow, goodbye.
