0:00:04 > 0:00:09- Cwm Maesglasau is a hidden valley - on the outskirts of Dinas Mawddwy.

0:00:15 > 0:00:21- This year, Maesglasau is celebrating - that one family has farmed here...

0:00:21 > 0:00:23- ..for the last 1,000 years.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32- A unique birthday party - is on the horizon...

0:00:32 > 0:00:36- ..for the Jones family - from the Ty'n y Braich farm.

0:00:39 > 0:00:45- Roots: One family, - One thousand years, one farm.

0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Everyone is bringing a bottle.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53- Olwen Jones and her daughter Catrin - are organizing the reunion.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58- They have tried to invite the whole - family to mark 1,000 years.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02- This idea has been doing the rounds - for a number of years.

0:01:03 > 0:01:08- We knew 2012 was going to be - an important year for the family.

0:01:08 > 0:01:11- Unfortunately, - it has sneaked up on us...

0:01:11 > 0:01:15- ..and everyone thought, - "Oops, we'd better do something!"

0:01:16 > 0:01:19- People move around a lot - these days...

0:01:19 > 0:01:25- ..and don't know their family - history or their place of origin.

0:01:27 > 0:01:33- We hope this celebration - teaches the younger generations...

0:01:33 > 0:01:35- ..that it's important - to stay in touch.

0:01:39 > 0:01:43- Today, Wyn Jones farms the land - with his son, Aled.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46- They continue - this established farming tradition.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51- It's word of mouth that - we've been here for 1,000 years.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55- There are documents in the house - to confirm this fact.

0:01:55 > 0:01:59- There's also the word of the land...

0:01:59 > 0:02:04- ..that is proof of - my family's occupancy of the area.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Amongst their ancient treasures...

0:02:08 > 0:02:12- ..is an original publication - of the William Morgan Bible...

0:02:12 > 0:02:15- ..that dates back to 1588.

0:02:15 > 0:02:20- It's one of the rare copies that - is still owned by a private family.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Their copy of - Kynniver Llith a Ban...

0:02:23 > 0:02:28- ..which was one of the first books - to be printed in Welsh...

0:02:28 > 0:02:34- ..contains an amazing family tree - that dates back to 1012.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38- There were a lot of old books - that heightened my awareness...

0:02:38 > 0:02:44- ..of the many generations who had - passed through this house before me.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47- It was my first inkling...

0:02:47 > 0:02:51- ..that we could trace the family - over a number of generations.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56- In the far corner of the valley, - near the waterfall...

0:02:56 > 0:03:00- ..sit the remains - of the Jones family's former homes.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- There's Maesglasau Mawr - and Maesglasau Bach...

0:03:03 > 0:03:06- ..the home of hymnist, Hugh Jones...

0:03:06 > 0:03:10- ..author of the hymn - O Tyn y Gorchudd yn y Mynydd Hyn.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14- This family has more than - its fair share of history.

0:03:15 > 0:03:21- The reunion is the ideal opportunity - to mark a very special milestone.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Olwen and Wyn - made it an open invitation...

0:03:25 > 0:03:28- ..for anyone related - to the ancient bloodline...

0:03:28 > 0:03:32- ..to gather at the Dinas Mawddwy - Village Hall for the celebration.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34- It's very rare.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39- We've been here since the Vikings, - which was over 1,000 years ago...

0:03:39 > 0:03:43- ..so I suspect this is very unusual.

0:03:43 > 0:03:49- Belonging to an ancient family such - as this one makes you feel proud.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53- It's amazing that they can trace - their family tree...

0:03:53 > 0:03:59- ..back over 1,000 years and - I'm honoured to be a part of it.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04- I hadn't shown much interest - in the family until this reunion.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Mam spoke about the family...

0:04:07 > 0:04:12- ..so I've learnt more about it - and it's very interesting.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16- It's amazing that for 1,000 years...

0:04:16 > 0:04:20- ..one family has farmed - the same piece of land.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26- This valley - holds a number of stories...

0:04:26 > 0:04:31- ..but the start of the last century - witnessed something astonishing.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Evan Jones and his wife, Rebecca - farmed Ty'n y Braich at that time.

0:04:36 > 0:04:42- They had seven children - and three of their sons were blind.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44- Lewis, the youngest child...

0:04:44 > 0:04:48- ..lived in Nottingham - until the summer of this year.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51- I'm Isabel - and I'm Lewis Jones' daughter.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54- He's been looking forward - to this event.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57- To be back in his homeland...

0:04:57 > 0:05:02- ..surrounded by his nearest - and dearest and the Welsh language.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06- This is what - he really, really wants.

0:05:06 > 0:05:08- He's very, very ill...

0:05:08 > 0:05:13- ..but we'd got the most wonderfully - arranged plan for how he'd be here.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- We only found out - three or four hours ago...

0:05:17 > 0:05:19- ..that he wouldn't be able to come.

0:05:20 > 0:05:24- The three sons were sent - to schools for the blind in England.

0:05:24 > 0:05:29- Gruffudd and Lewis remained in - England for their entire lives...

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- ..but William returned - to Ty'n y Braich...

0:05:32 > 0:05:36- ..to translate books - into twelve languages in Braille.

0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Wili lived with my grandmother - in the bungalow...

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- ..so he was a part of my life.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47- Wili taught me so many things...

0:05:47 > 0:05:49- ..such as the art of patience.

0:05:52 > 0:05:53- I can't describe it.

0:05:54 > 0:06:00- Olwen, my wife, tells me - that a lot of things sunk in.

0:06:00 > 0:06:06- When I was on the farm, I had - to make sure Wili's path was clear.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10- If there was something on the path, - he could slip and fall.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13- I didn't question it.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17- In those days, blindness - was treated like a broken finger.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- If he wanted help, - you would help him.

0:06:20 > 0:06:26- He often didn't want your help - because he was very independent.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Gruffudd studied for an MA - from Oxford University...

0:06:31 > 0:06:36- ..and served as a vicar - throughout his life in Hereford.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38- I was ordained at the end of 1937.

0:06:39 > 0:06:44- I remember the first child - that I ever christened.

0:06:45 > 0:06:46- I was quite nervous...

0:06:47 > 0:06:51- ..and it seems the parents - were rather nervous too!

0:06:51 > 0:06:56- Despite this, - the baby was placed in my arms...

0:06:56 > 0:07:00- ..but his feet were - where his head was meant to be!

0:07:00 > 0:07:05- Someone said, "No, not like that."

0:07:06 > 0:07:08- I don't know if that child...

0:07:08 > 0:07:13- ..was meant to have - double the blessing!

0:07:13 > 0:07:17- As a child, I was aware - of where my father had come from.

0:07:17 > 0:07:19- He was very proud of his family.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21- We had contact by post.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Nain wrote to him - and he'd write to her every week.

0:07:25 > 0:07:30- He would regularly describe to me - the Welsh mountains and the sheep.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33- When I was six, - when my mother could drive...

0:07:33 > 0:07:37- ..we would come to North Wales - to see his mother.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- I have fond memories of coming up - and she was making butter...

0:07:42 > 0:07:46- ..and she used to make socks for my - father and that was quite special.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Ty'n y Braich - meant the world to him.

0:07:51 > 0:07:56- When we were really young, the first - song I ever learnt was in Welsh.

0:07:56 > 0:08:01- My father left the mountains when he - was seven years old to go to school.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05- It was difficult for him to get - educated in Wales as a disabled boy.

0:08:05 > 0:08:11- It's very much steeped in our - family, the moment when he left...

0:08:11 > 0:08:15- ..and what impact that had.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18- The split - between Wales and England...

0:08:19 > 0:08:22- ..and this strange world - he had to step into.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24- The Wolverhampton voice.

0:08:24 > 0:08:28- We've always been drawn back - to Ty'n y Braich.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Telephones are my forte...

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- ..but I don't have - a telephone in the house.

0:08:35 > 0:08:40- If I want to call Ty'n y Braich, - I have to go to the kiosk.

0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Good afternoon, I'd like a call - please to North Wales.

0:08:45 > 0:08:46- TELEPHONE

0:08:47 > 0:08:50- My mother-in-law - and father-in-law...

0:08:50 > 0:08:54- ..had moved from the old house - into the bungalow next door.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57- The decision that we reached...

0:08:58 > 0:09:01- ..was that we would renovate - the old house.

0:09:01 > 0:09:05- But it came down to brass tacks...

0:09:05 > 0:09:10- ..and it wasn't an option for us - because of its sorry state.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Nobody had been into the attic - of Ty'n y Braich...

0:09:15 > 0:09:20- ..since the electricity - was installed in 1949.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24- We found Rebecca's childhood toys. - She was Wyn's aunt.

0:09:25 > 0:09:31- We also found a rusty old sword - and it's still here.

0:09:31 > 0:09:36- The furniture in this house - is all the original furniture.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Ty'n y Braich - is steeped in history...

0:09:40 > 0:09:43- ..and is there for anyone - who wants to learn about it.

0:09:43 > 0:09:48- I wasn't going to be one of those - people to strip it of that history.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51- I wanted to retain the tradition...

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- ..and respect what I'd been given.

0:09:55 > 0:10:00- At the end of the day, we're - stewards for the next generation.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04- The truth against the world. - Is there peace?

0:10:05 > 0:10:06- ALL: Peace!

0:10:07 > 0:10:12- Ten years ago, Wales learnt of Ty'n - y Braich farm and Cwm Maesglasau...

0:10:12 > 0:10:15- ..when Angharad Price - won the Prose Medal...

0:10:15 > 0:10:20- ..for her book, O! Tyn y Gorchudd - that's set in Maesglasau.

0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Angharad spent a lot of - her childhood in the valley...

0:10:24 > 0:10:28- ..with her grandfather, Robert - and grandmother, Olwen.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Unfortunately, she passed away...

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- ..at the end - of the last century in 1999.

0:10:38 > 0:10:40- It was soon after this...

0:10:40 > 0:10:46- ..that I decided that I wanted - to record the family history.

0:10:46 > 0:10:52- I knew it was an unusual story - and yet it was quite common too.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55- I had this urge - to remember Ty'n y Braich...

0:10:56 > 0:10:58- ..and more specifically, Olwen.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03- I suspect this inspired me - to write about the family's history.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08- The book is about Rebecca, - the sister of the blind brothers...

0:11:09 > 0:11:13- ..and sister of Robert Jones, - Angharad's grandfather.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Rebecca was - the family's first daughter.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22- Her photograph hung on the wall - of the farmhouse when I was a child.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26- As a child, - I had a keen interest in her.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29- She was born in 1905...

0:11:30 > 0:11:33- ..and Robert, my grandfather - arrived the following year.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36- They were the two eldest children.

0:11:37 > 0:11:42- Rebecca and Robert were followed by - the three blind brothers.

0:11:43 > 0:11:48- In order to send the brothers - to schools for the blind...

0:11:48 > 0:11:51- ..Rebecca and Robert, - my grandfather...

0:11:51 > 0:11:54- ..were forced - to leave school early.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- My grandfather was the only one - who could see to farm...

0:11:59 > 0:12:03- ..so he was forced - to follow the family tradition.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Rebecca was the light - of her mother's life...

0:12:07 > 0:12:11- ..until she contracted diphtheria - at the age of 11.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15- They lost Rebecca and it was quite - a blow to my great-grandmother.

0:12:19 > 0:12:24- Life at Maesglasau - was never easy for the Jones family.

0:12:24 > 0:12:29- Even today, there's a price - to pay for living here.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33- It's not always easy - to live in a place like this.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Unfortunately, the wonderful views - don't pay the bills.

0:12:38 > 0:12:42- I think many people - have made a big mistake...

0:12:42 > 0:12:45- ..by selling the houses - but continuing to farm the land.

0:12:46 > 0:12:47- I think this is unforgivable.

0:12:48 > 0:12:53- They have sold - a part of Welsh history.

0:12:53 > 0:12:59- Wales is a small country - so we need to preserve our history.

0:12:59 > 0:13:02- We've suffered enough as it is.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06- When I was in school, I was taught - about William the Conqueror.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08- What good is that to anyone?

0:13:08 > 0:13:12- He came and went - and did whatever he wanted.

0:13:13 > 0:13:13- ..

0:13:19 > 0:13:21- The Joneses of Cwm Maesglasau...

0:13:22 > 0:13:26- ..are celebrating 1,000 years - of farming in the same area.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Wyn Jones - is the head of the family today.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33- I was born - and raised at Ty'n y Braich.

0:13:33 > 0:13:38- I haven't moved from the area - and I don't think I will either.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41- I think I've left it too late now.

0:13:43 > 0:13:48- Many years ago, - Wyn was tempted to leave the valley.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51- When I was growing up, - I was quite restless.

0:13:51 > 0:13:57- I had all the paperwork - to go to Australia and New Zealand.

0:13:59 > 0:14:03- I wanted to broaden my horizons.

0:14:03 > 0:14:09- At that time, living in this valley - meant nothing to me.

0:14:09 > 0:14:14- I wanted to see the world - so - who knows what might have happened!

0:14:22 > 0:14:24- Why didn't I go? I don't know.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27- I really don't know.

0:14:27 > 0:14:32- There's a strong attachment to - the area in my subconscious mind...

0:14:32 > 0:14:34- ..that I don't understand.

0:14:34 > 0:14:40- Some 25 years later and Wyn's son, - Aled faced the same dilemma.

0:14:41 > 0:14:46- I started shearing locally - and with a local team.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50- I wanted to learn more - so I travelled to New Zealand...

0:14:51 > 0:14:53- ..and really enjoyed it.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56- I missed the winter, - which is always a bonus!

0:14:56 > 0:14:59- I returned many times - and also went to Norway.

0:14:59 > 0:15:04- After five months, it was time to - leave because it was full of Kiwis!

0:15:05 > 0:15:06- There's no place like home.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Someone will have stayed - at Ty'n y Braich...

0:15:10 > 0:15:14- ..when they have wanted - to do something else.

0:15:14 > 0:15:19- As the current generation, - I don't think we have the right...

0:15:19 > 0:15:24- ..to dictate the future - of the next generation.

0:15:25 > 0:15:30- However, all I can really do - is sit here and hope...

0:15:30 > 0:15:33- ..that the next generation...

0:15:34 > 0:15:38- ..can combine - their farming tendencies...

0:15:38 > 0:15:43- ..with the work that they have - to find in today's climate.

0:15:44 > 0:15:48- Aled has decided - that this is where he wants to be...

0:15:49 > 0:15:51- ..to farm and raise his family.

0:15:51 > 0:15:56- However, he earns a living - as a contractor, not a farmer.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00- Farming isn't profitable, - but it's a labour of love.

0:16:00 > 0:16:04- It's an expensive hobby - that eats away at your time...

0:16:05 > 0:16:10- ..so I try to find a balance - between my work and life.

0:16:10 > 0:16:14- It's like spinning plates - and I have to keep them turning.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21- I don't want any meat.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25- Aled and his wife, Eirian - have three children.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27- Ceri, Glesni and Aaron.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31- When I married Aled, - I didn't realize at that time...

0:16:32 > 0:16:37- ..that I was marrying into - a family steeped in history...

0:16:37 > 0:16:41- ..that had farmed at Ty'n y Braich - for so many years.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47- After having children, - I thought more about it...

0:16:47 > 0:16:50- ..and our timeline continues.

0:16:50 > 0:16:54- I hope one of our three children - will remain on the farm...

0:16:55 > 0:16:59- ..so that - the family's story continues.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04- The family tree - is full of characters.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Some are forgotten - whilst others left their mark...

0:17:08 > 0:17:12- ..such as the chaired bard, - John Jones Meirionfa.

0:17:13 > 0:17:18- His brother, Robert Evan Jones, - was also quite a character.

0:17:18 > 0:17:23- He was a quiet man to some degree - but he was an excellent musician.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27- He held Sol-fa lessons - in the community.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31- This was something - very new for the local children.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34- He was a very humble - and clever man.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38- There's a wonderful story - about Robert Jones...

0:17:38 > 0:17:43- ..when his cart tipped over - after returning from the field.

0:17:43 > 0:17:46- His father was quite vocal saying...

0:17:47 > 0:17:51- .."If you read your Bible, these - things wouldn't happen to you."

0:17:51 > 0:17:55- Robert Jones said - "I was reading my Bible!"

0:17:55 > 0:17:58- He wasn't looking - where he was going.

0:17:58 > 0:18:04- It was given to him by his mother, - a lady who married into the family.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07- These people - were rarely mentioned...

0:18:07 > 0:18:11- ..but were very important - to this family's history.

0:18:13 > 0:18:17- Jane Jones Maesglasau was another - important person in the area.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19- She was born in 1860.

0:18:20 > 0:18:25- Monica Jones came to Dinas Mawddwy - from Patagonia because of her.

0:18:26 > 0:18:31- When I arrived at Dinas Mawddwy, - I cried for 30 minutes...

0:18:31 > 0:18:35- ..after seeing the sign - and the valley itself.

0:18:35 > 0:18:40- It welcomed me and the greenness - wrapped its arms around me.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43- I felt like I was - being welcomed home.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46- This is where my bloodline started.

0:18:48 > 0:18:53- My great-great-grandmother, - Jane Jones was from Maesglasau...

0:18:54 > 0:18:56- ..and she was married - to Edward Jones.

0:18:56 > 0:19:01- After their wedding, they settled - at Y Pant, Llanymawddwy.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Following a dispute - with their landlord...

0:19:04 > 0:19:09- ..they were thrown out of the house.

0:19:09 > 0:19:14- As a result, Edward Jones - chose to build a home in Patagonia.

0:19:15 > 0:19:21- Today, Monica lives in Wales - with her sons, Macsen and Morgan...

0:19:22 > 0:19:26- ..but her daughter, Geraldine - chose to remain in Patagonia.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29- My roots are definitely in Wales.

0:19:29 > 0:19:33- I can prove that there's music - in my veins.

0:19:33 > 0:19:38- I didn't understand why I liked - writing poetry or singing.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Now, I understand - where it comes from.

0:19:43 > 0:19:48- # I'll send an angel - to comfort you #

0:19:48 > 0:19:50- The family ties remain firm.

0:19:51 > 0:19:55- For Elizabeth, Gruffudd's daughter, - it's a day of reminiscing.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58- It's very emotional - to meet all the family...

0:19:59 > 0:20:03- ..and to think of my father - who was an amazing man...

0:20:03 > 0:20:05- ..particularly - with him not being able to see.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09- He was highly intelligent - and had a wonderful career.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11- It brings back fantastic memories.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13- It's just a wonderful day.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19- A shadow has been cast - over the celebrations.

0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Due to illness, Lewis Jones, - the oldest member of the family...

0:20:24 > 0:20:26- ..failed to return to Dinas Mawddwy.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29- The significance of today.

0:20:29 > 0:20:34- He was going back to his spiritual - home. It's where his soul is.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37- I was very torn about - whether or not I could come...

0:20:37 > 0:20:41- ..but he really wanted me to come...

0:20:42 > 0:20:45- ..to reach back - and bring that to him.

0:20:46 > 0:20:51- He felt an immense responsibility to - be here because he's the oldest one.

0:20:51 > 0:20:55- I think the disappointment - is absolutely immense.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Two days after the reunion...

0:20:59 > 0:21:05- ..Lewis Jones died at his home - in Nottingham aged 85 years old.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18- I don't think my family - is better than any other family.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20- Every family is the same...

0:21:20 > 0:21:26- ..but this is an opportunity for us - to record the history...

0:21:26 > 0:21:32- ..of one Welsh family that - has been around for quite a while!

0:21:32 > 0:21:36- How many people have said, - as I've said many times...

0:21:36 > 0:21:40- ..that they wish they'd asked their - grandmother and grandfather more...

0:21:41 > 0:21:42- ..about their childhood?

0:21:43 > 0:21:48- To some degree, we can do that by - talking about it and recording it.

0:21:51 > 0:21:55- It's high time that the Welsh - woke up to the fact...

0:21:55 > 0:22:00- ..that we need - to celebrate our heritage.

0:22:00 > 0:22:06- I've taught many children who are - unaware of their family history...

0:22:06 > 0:22:10- ..and this has only strengthened - my position of thought.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13- It's very important for us...

0:22:14 > 0:22:19- ..to share our history - and culture...

0:22:20 > 0:22:25- ..and especially our heritage - with the next generation.

0:22:26 > 0:22:31- I hope Aled can continue, just - as I had the opportunity to do so...

0:22:32 > 0:22:37- ..but I hope he doesn't feel - too much pressure...

0:22:37 > 0:22:41- ..to maintain the family's - long farming history in this area.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45- There's something about - Dinas Mawddwy that grips you.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47- It's a beautiful area.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52- Some people don't like mountains - and feel smothered by them.

0:22:52 > 0:22:58- The mountains press down on them - because they are used to flat land.

0:22:58 > 0:23:02- There's nothing more beautiful - than a mountain.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06- The wealthy come shooting here - during the winter.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10- One person asked how much it - would cost to buy the valley.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13- He thought money - could buy him anything.

0:23:13 > 0:23:17- The response he got was, - "You couldn't afford it!"

0:23:17 > 0:23:20- We may not be wealthy - but we're very proud.

0:23:20 > 0:23:25- He couldn't bulldoze everyone - out of the way with his money.

0:23:25 > 0:23:30- He soon stopped talking - and I think he got the message.

0:23:31 > 0:23:35- There's an - exceptionally strong bond...

0:23:35 > 0:23:38- ..between the inhabitants - and the land.

0:23:38 > 0:23:44- I don't think Ty'n y Braich - is different to anywhere else.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47- I hope this continues...

0:23:48 > 0:23:54- ..and that there will be - someone here for a while yet!

0:24:00 > 0:24:06- IN MEMORY OF LEWIS JONES, 1927-2012, - AND KATIE LLOYD, 1937-2012.
