-I'm spending the day -with a novelist. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
-Come with me -to find out his identity. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
-There are lots of books here about -Cardiff or by writers from Cardiff. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:33 | |
-This person grew up in Cardiff, and -it's a big influence on his work. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:39 | |
-He's obviously -a successful and popular author... | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
-..because he's won this, -the Book of the Year award. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
-Yee-hah! -Do you know this cute cowboy? | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
-He obviously had a vivid imagination -when was a child. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
-Author Llwyd Owen -lives in this house. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
-He has published ten novels... | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
-..including Ffydd Gobaith Cariad, -which won Book of the Year. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:08 | |
-He lives here with his wife Lisa -and their children Elian and Syfi. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:13 | |
-Thanks for the welcome -and the strong coffee to wake me up. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
-Are you OK? | 0:01:21 | 0:01:22 | |
-Are you OK? - -Great, thanks. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:23 | |
-Let's talk about your work -as an author. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
-Tell us about the themes -in your work. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
-The main theme -which runs through my work... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
-..is family -and the importance of family. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
-However, the families in my books -are usually broken. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
-I think it stems from the fact... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
-..I've been lucky to have a stable -and very happy upbringing... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:49 | |
-..without much drama. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
-I think in novels, films -and television series... | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
-..you have to create -the tension and the drama. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
-I've done that -through twisting my own experiences. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:05 | |
-There's usually a lot of falling out -among the families in my books. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
-Cardiff is important -in your stories too. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
-Yes, it's very important, -in my early novels especially. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
-In those, it was as if Cardiff -was itself a character. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
-I wanted to introduce the city... | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
-..not only to readers -who were familiar with it... | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
-..but to those who weren't. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
-So I use real locations. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 | |
-I look at the city's history -and legends... | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
-..and feed that into the narrative. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
-When you published your first novel, -I was on holiday. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:50 | |
-You'd published it and I said -to myself I was going to read it. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-It was a wow moment for me. -A breath of fresh air. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
-You opened the door... | 0:02:58 | 0:03:01 | |
-..to a new way of telling a story. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:05 | |
-It was quite, um, real. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
-You changed gear. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:10 | |
-Maybe! | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
-I wanted to surprise people -at the start of my career. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:17 | |
-I wanted to grab people's attention. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
-I wanted to attract young readers. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
-I thought that the way to do that -was to shock... | 0:03:24 | 0:03:30 | |
-..and to speak their language. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
-I think... | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
-..that the Welsh language -in its formal form... | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
-..can isolate people... | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
-..and stop people from reading. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
-I tried to remove that obstacle. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
-I'm not sure -whether or not it worked! | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
-It worked. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
-I was young at the time -so it appealed to the right people. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:03 | |
-That's great to hear. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:04 | |
-What's life like as an author? -Is it difficult? | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
-What is your pattern of work? -How do you go about writing? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
-Um... | 0:04:13 | 0:04:14 | |
-There's a line I like to quote. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
-"Creativity starts a novel -but hard work finishes it." | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
-It's easy... | 0:04:25 | 0:04:26 | |
-Everyone has ideas. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
-But reaching the finish line -can be a slog. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
-Say that a novel is 60,000 words. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
-When you're 40,000 in, -it can feel very laborious. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:43 | |
-I have a pattern. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
-I have to be self-disciplined. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
-I write one day a week. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
-I work as a translator -four days a week. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
-So I'm free every Friday. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
-I make sure, well, -I aim to write a chapter a week... | 0:05:00 | 0:05:05 | |
-..when I'm writing a book. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
-You came very close to winning the -Daniel Owen Prize at the Eisteddfod. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:13 | |
-But what happened? | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
-Well, I think... | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
-..the content of the book... | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
-..and my prose at the time... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
-..were so raw... | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
-..you know?! | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
-I think the judges decided it wasn't -a good idea to give me the prize. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
-It wasn't quite deserving of the -main prize for a couple of reasons. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:42 | |
-That worked to my benefit. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
-There was swearing... | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |
-..and some serious things -going on in the novel. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:55 | |
-Wales wasn't ready. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
-It was a bit of a shock. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:58 | |
-It was a bit of a shock. - -Maybe. | 0:05:58 | 0:05:59 | |
-It was great for you - -it made a bit of a stir. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
-People wanted to know more. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:04 | |
-It received a lot of attention -before it existed. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:09 | |
-I got to choose which publisher -I wanted to publish it. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
-I then worked with an editor... | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
-..to refine -and improve the original novel. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
-So what was published six or seven -months later was a much better book. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:27 | |
-Can we have a look around -this very stylish house? | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
-I have been busy tidying up! | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
-You or Lisa? | 0:06:35 | 0:06:36 | |
-You or Lisa? - -Me. Modern man! | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
-Well done! | 0:06:38 | 0:06:39 | |
-There's style here -the moment you walk in. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
-Thank you! | 0:06:50 | 0:06:51 | |
-The walls are painted white -in my house but I like the grey. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
-Is it that colour throughout? | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
-I think so! | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
-I haven't thought about it -for a while! | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
-So you didn't paint it? | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
-The style of the house -isn't down to me! | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
-I have to give the credit -to my wife Lisa. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:15 | |
-You've only just realized -what colour the walls are! | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
-I like that. -Is there a story behind it? | 0:07:21 | 0:07:23 | |
-Has it come from your home? | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
-It's hard to tell because Lisa -likes painting everything. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
-As we go around the house, -you'll see more of that. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
-I'm sure it's an antique -that's been painted. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
-Using chalk paint on furniture -is fashionable nowadays. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
-It's fashionable in this house. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:43 | |
-It's fashionable in this house. - -Breathing new life into it. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
-OK, where next? | 0:07:45 | 0:07:47 | |
-The lounge? | 0:07:47 | 0:07:48 | |
-The lounge? - -Why not? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:49 | |
-This is a nice room. -I like that shade of blue. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
-You have to be quite brave -to do that. It's lovely. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
-Again, it wasn't you that chose it! | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
-Again, it wasn't you that chose it! - -No, I can't claim that! | 0:08:07 | 0:08:08 | |
-So did you match the colour -of the wall to the picture... | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-..or the picture -to match the wall? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
-The colour of the wall -to match the picture. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
-We got the picture first. -It's by Jamie Hamley. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
-He's also designed -a number of my book covers. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
-Are these your favourites? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
-No, the library's -constantly changing. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
-I tend to buy a lot of books -from charity shops. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:44 | |
-I then share them -after finishing with them. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
-I pass them on. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:49 | |
-So the library's an ever-changing -beast in this house. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
-That's great, because if you buy -a book, you usually want to keep it. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
-I like to share. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:00 | |
-I enjoy reading. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:01 | |
-I think who would enjoy a -particular book and then pass it on. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
-It's a nice present. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
-You're quite tidy. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-They're in order of size! | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
-What does that say about you? | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
-What does that say about you? - -That I have a bit of OCD! | 0:09:13 | 0:09:16 | |
-I didn't say that, you did! | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
-Great. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:21 | |
-On to the kitchen. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
-On to the kitchen. - -OK. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:23 | |
-This is a nice room. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
-Two nice, open rooms. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
-So, do you cook? | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
-Yes. I enjoy cooking. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
-This is a social room -so it's a nice place to be. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
-People can sit here -and watch you cook supper. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:47 | |
-Usually, it's the kids demanding -I feed them every ten minutes. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
-"I'm hungry!" | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
-How did you go about it? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
-Is this a new room? -Is it an extension? | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
-How did you plan it? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:01 | |
-Well, I can't claim -I had much to do with the plans! | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
-My wife Lisa took the leading role. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
-The furniture's a combination -of very modern and traditional. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:17 | |
-Well, it's important. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |
-The Welsh dresser... | 0:10:23 | 0:10:24 | |
-..belonged to -the grandmother of my sister-in-law. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:30 | |
-We wanted a Welsh element, -a Welsh dresser. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:35 | |
-We've inherited pieces -like the chest and bureau. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
-Nothing stops you from mixing. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
-We have modern elements. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
-The designers who did the work... | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
-..were reluctant -to include those elements. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
-They wanted new things. -They liked the angles. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:58 | |
-It's lovely here. I love it. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
-I'm looking forward to see -the rest of the house. After you. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
-Lovely. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:19 | |
-What rooms do we have here? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
-Well, we have Lisa's dressing room, -a spare room... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
-..Syfi's room... | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
-..Elian's room is down there, -the bathroom... | 0:11:30 | 0:11:35 | |
-..and our bedroom is in the attic. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
-So you're up there? Nice. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-So you're up there? Nice. - -It's nice and quiet. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
-Can we see the bathroom, please? | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
-Ooh, lovely! | 0:11:48 | 0:11:49 | |
-I love the flooring. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:52 | |
-It's beautiful. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
-It looks like wood -but it isn't wood. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
-No, they're ceramic tiles. | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
-You're right, -they do look like wood. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
-This is like a room -in a five-star hotel! | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
-Thank you. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:07 | |
-Do you use the bath and shower? -They're very clean. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
-You have to do some cleaning before -the cameras come to the house. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:17 | |
-It's interesting that it's white -with no pictures on the wall. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
-There are pictures everywhere -in the rest of the house. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
-There's no reason. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
-I'd like to stay here -all afternoon. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
-We'll fill the bath for you! | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
-We'll fill the bath for you! - -Perfect. Lovely. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:34 | |
-This is nice. A recess in the attic. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
-It is quite cosy up here. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:45 | |
-Why did you decide to go up to the -top and let the girls be downstairs? | 0:12:45 | 0:12:51 | |
-Mostly because we have an en suite -up here, which is quite handy... | 0:12:51 | 0:12:57 | |
-..as I get older -and my prostate isn't what it was! | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-It's really quiet up here. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
-You can't hear the street -in the front. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
-It's quite peaceful. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
-Who sleeps on this side? -Let's take a look at the books. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:15 | |
-Are these yours? | 0:13:15 | 0:13:16 | |
-Yes. I sleep on this side. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
-I'm working my way through the pile, -an ever-growing pile. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
-Do you read more than one book -at a time? | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
-Or do you finish one -and start another? | 0:13:27 | 0:13:29 | |
-I sometimes have a novel -and a factual book... | 0:13:30 | 0:13:33 | |
-..on the go at the same time. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
-I couldn't read two novels -at a time. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
-The house is fantastic. -I'd like to come and live here. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
-I won't, don't worry. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:46 | |
-I won't, don't worry. - -There's no room for you in the bed! | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
-After the break, -we'll go outside for a wander... | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-..and we'll look around the room -in which Llwyd does his writing. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:02 | |

-Welcome back. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:10 | |
-I'm spending the morning -with author Llwyd Owen. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:14 | |
-After looking around the house, -he takes me to see a special room. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:18 | |
-Wow! Man cave! | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
-This is a proper cave. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
-Great! | 0:14:24 | 0:14:25 | |
-I'd say your stamp is on this room. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
-It's the only room in the house -with my stamp on it! | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
-In the rest of the house, I've asked -why you've chosen something. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:35 | |
-"It wasn't me. Lisa." -But this is your space. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:38 | |
-Is this where you do your writing? | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
-Is this where you do your writing? - -Yes. This is my office. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:42 | |
-It's my refuge -from the madness in the house! | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
-No, it's nice being able -to step out of the house... | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
-..and come here to work. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
-It's so close. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:55 | |
-It's so close. - -Psychologically, it's separate. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
-It feels like 100 miles away. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
-Do you just come here to write -or do you listen to music too? | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
-I've never seen -such a collection of records! | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
-I'm a little obsessive -with my records. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
-Are they in alphabetical order? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
-Are they in alphabetical order? - -Not quite. In order of genre. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
-One day, -they'll be in alphabetical order. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
-I work here, I relax here, -listen to music and read. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
-Do you listen to music -while writing? | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
-I do... | 0:15:32 | 0:15:33 | |
-Sorry, not while writing. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:35 | |
-I need silence to write. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
-When editing, I often -have music on in the background. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
-Usually, it's instrumental music. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
-It's difficult if there are lyrics. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
-It's difficult if there are lyrics. - -Two sets of words. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
-I like reading -while listening to music. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:55 | |
-I recreate that when editing. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
-What I'm trying to do... | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
-..is to recreate -that reading environment. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:07 | |
-Sheds are part -of some of your books... | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
-..but the wider area does too, -for example Roath Park. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
-Shall we go for a walk there? | 0:16:14 | 0:16:15 | |
-Shall we go for a walk there? - -Why not? | 0:16:15 | 0:16:16 | |
-Out of the cave. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
-It's a nice morning to be -in Roath Park. It's lovely here. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:30 | |
-This place has influenced you -and your work. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:35 | |
-Yes, it's played a prominent role -in my life and my upbringing. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:41 | |
-I grew up -about half a mile that way. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
-I spent a lot of time here -during my childhood. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:52 | |
-As a parent, -I also spend a lot of time here. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
-I bring the kids here. -It's such a nice place. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
-In the early '80s... | 0:17:02 | 0:17:03 | |
-..I remember during -a very cold spell in winter... | 0:17:03 | 0:17:08 | |
-..the entire lake was frozen over. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:11 | |
-I don't remember that happening. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
-I don't remember that happening. - -It hasn't happened since. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:16 | |
-I remember people -were skating on it. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-Me, my father and my brother Rhys -walked across the lake. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
-My brother fell -and cracked his head. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-Happy memories! | 0:17:29 | 0:17:30 | |
-Happy memories! - -Drama! | 0:17:30 | 0:17:31 | |
-It was - I like to see -my brother suffering! | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
-Because of the area's -significance... | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
-..it's played a prominent part. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:45 | |
-That lighthouse too. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
-It's had a couple of mentions -in my books! | 0:17:48 | 0:17:51 | |
-It's an iconic spot in Cardiff -and is iconic in my life. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:57 | |
-After a nice walk to Roath Park, -we're back in the house. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
-I take it these are the three things -you'd save... | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
-..if you had to run out -in an emergency. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
-Yes. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
-I have a large collection -of records. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
-I have a handful here. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:26 | |
-I'd need a lorry to take the rest, -but the shelves have wheels. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:31 | |
-I could take them out quickly -if there was a fire. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:35 | |
-Why records? -Why are they so important? | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |
-I've always been quite obsessed -about music... | 0:18:38 | 0:18:43 | |
-..since my teenage years anyway. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
-I used to play in bands -and I was a DJ... | 0:18:46 | 0:18:50 | |
-..before the kids arrived. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:53 | |
-When I could go out in the evening. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
-Now, they give me endless pleasure. | 0:18:56 | 0:18:59 | |
-Is there something about a record -that's different to a computer file? | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
-Definitely. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:06 | |
-Let's look at this. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:10 | |
-It's a recent example. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
-It's a compilation -by I Ka Ching Records. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
-You just have to look at it. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
-It's a lot more than a CD -or a download. It looks incredible. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
-I can see the love in your eyes! | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
-It's something... | 0:19:28 | 0:19:29 | |
-It's like a piece of art. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:30 | |
-It's like a piece of art. - -It is a piece of art. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
-It's something to treasure too. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
-It's more than music. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
-Because you're you, you can choose -all of them as one of your three. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:43 | |
-I'd take them all, -including my Tony ac Aloma ones. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
-You can't beat Tony ac Aloma! | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
-It sounds like a joke -but I'm serious! | 0:19:50 | 0:19:52 | |
-Your second thing? | 0:19:53 | 0:19:56 | |
-This is quite big. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
-We'll put it there. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
-Wow. That is nice. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:04 | |
-It's a painting -by an old friend of mine. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
-It says 'Clint' here. -That's his nickname. | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
-Iwan ap Huw Morgan -is his real name. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
-I went to school with him. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
-I lost touch with him -for about 15 years... | 0:20:18 | 0:20:23 | |
-..as Iwan battled... | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
-He was a heroin addict for years. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:29 | |
-Fortunately, -he's come out the other side. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
-He now lives in Mexico... | 0:20:33 | 0:20:34 | |
-..helping other heroin addicts -to come off heroin. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
-He's one of the most talented people -I've ever met. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:42 | |
-He's a musician, sculptor, -performer and an artist. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:48 | |
-He painted this. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:50 | |
-It's entitled -Snowstorm In The Himalayas. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:54 | |
-You can see the mountains -and the storm. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
-He painted this when he was 18. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
-It's been on my wall -for over 20 years. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
-I love this painting. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:06 | |
-And the final thing, -or the final two or three things! | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
-These are very personal things. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
-I lost my mother -around seven years ago. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:18 | |
-Mam was a very creative person. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
-Here are three things -she herself made. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:27 | |
-It's a memento. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
-It has the date of birth of -Elian Sgarlad, my eldest daughter. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
-You can take that. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:43 | |
-She made something similar for Syfi. | 0:21:43 | 0:21:46 | |
-She finished it -about two months before she died. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:51 | |
-The detail in Elian's... | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
-It's a lot more detailed. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
-There's a mistake here. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
-It reflects the physical state -she was in at the time. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:05 | |
-If anything... | 0:22:05 | 0:22:06 | |
-..it makes it more special -that she made such an effort. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
-It was so important to Mam -to finish this. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
-She knew what was coming. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
-She had cancer. -She knew she was going to die. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
-She was determined to finish this. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
-She did this -two months before she passed away. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
-On top of that, -she also managed to do this. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:30 | |
-Aw. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:32 | |
-She knitted it. | 0:22:33 | 0:22:34 | |
-Yes, she made this. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:36 | |
-Elian still sleeps -with this teddy bear. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:41 | |
-Elian calls this teddy -'Mam-gu bach' - little Mam-gu. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
-Oh, that's so lovely. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
-It brings a tear to my eye -every time. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
-That's so nice. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:52 | |
-It's a kind of physical connection -I have with Mam. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:59 | |
-They'll be something -that the girls will have forever. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
-Though they don't remember her, -they'll never forget her either. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:08 | |
-They'll be saved before the records. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:10 | |
-They'll be saved before the records. - -Well, I'm not sure about that! | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
-Before we get too sentimental! | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
-I've laughed a lot today -and had a lot of fun. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
