0:00:36 > 0:00:40- ..on our way of life, and - what effect does our way of life...

0:00:46 > 0:00:49- ..not from politicians - or campaigners...
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- ..but from people on the front line, - those who sustain the way of life...
0:00:54 > 0:00:58- ..and those who move to Wales, - the incomers of 2014.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- We'll also revisit three families...

0:01:28 > 0:01:30- The Welsh tradition...
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- ..lives on in the voice - of the late Richie Thomas...
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- ..one of the valley's - most famous natives.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Like so many valleys - in North and West Wales...
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- ..the fact that - young people are moving away...
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- ..and non-Welsh speakers - are moving in...
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- ..is a double blow - for the community.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- But despite - everyone and everything...
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- ..the traditional - Welsh way of life remains.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- # Onward, Christian soldiers #
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- Though some of the accents - are different.
0:02:04 > 0:02:10- The Penmachno choir - rehearses every Friday night...
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- ..before we go to the pub.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- There are about 30 of us...
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- ..in the choir.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Between 2010 and 2014...
0:02:23 > 0:02:28- ..the villages of North Wales - have seen 1,200 incomers a year...
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- ..arrive from England.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- In this first episode, - we ask what attracts them.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Are they the same things which - attracted three families in 2004?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Sennybridge, on the eastern fringes - of the Welsh language...
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- ..and the agricultural heartland - of the old county of Brecknockshire.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- In September 2003...
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- ..true to countryside traditions...
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- ..a crowd gathered - at Llwynneuadd Farm...
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- ..to support - the newly-retired family...
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- ..and to catch a glimpse - of the new owners.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16- John Kirk and wife Jackie, who were - au fait with rearing horses...
0:03:16 > 0:03:21- ..but had never farmed before, were - moving here from Barnet, London.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Why did they choose this place? - Why did they choose Wales?
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- First come to Wales - best part of 30 years ago.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36- From the moment I arrived, that was - the first time I'd been to Wales.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- And, you know, - I just fell in love with it.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- At the all-important bar - on the day of the sale...
0:03:48 > 0:03:53- ..Edwin Roderick suspects there's - also a less romantic reason for it.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- I considered buying Llwynneuadd...
0:03:57 > 0:04:01- ..but I was expecting - to pay closer to the guide price.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- Anything over that was unattainable.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- People can sell properties - in these big towns...
0:04:11 > 0:04:17- ..and can afford to buy a farm, - so farms are cheap investments then.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- John and Jackie - are shrewd business people...
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- ..but they face - an enormous challenge.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- They must farm one of - Brecknockshire's largest hill farms.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35- On the day of the sale, John - appeared surprisingly confident.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- A bit of a new shopping list for me, - this is.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- I got a bit of kit - to go and look at in a minute.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- John is a bona fide Cockney.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- We had fruit stalls - in Portobello Road Market.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- My dad and all the barrow boys - and the porters...
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- ..you know, it was a buzz.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Without a doubt, - the business buzz is in his blood.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- That has been my education.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Standing on the front - of my dad's stall...
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- ..with a bunch of spring onions - and radishes, saying...
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- .."'Ere are, lady, - two for a tanner."
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Someone who knows - there's much more to hill farming...
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- ..than buying and selling - is Basil Williams...
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- ..who would teach the incomers - the meaning of the word 'neighbour'.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- Where's John Kirk now then? Bring - him here so we can have a few words.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36- Penygroes, in the heart of what was - once Carmarthenshire's coalfields.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- At the end of the Victorian era...
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- ..this was once - an unpopulated agricultural area...
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- ..until Aeron Thomas, - an incomer from the Teifi Valley...
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- ..established - Emlyn Colliery at the site.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- Workers' houses were built - around the Farmers' Arms tavern...
0:05:54 > 0:05:59- ..and a new chapel was erected - for the burgeoning congregation.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05- It was this chapel which gave the - new industrial community its name.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- In 2004, Rob and Jane Johnson - sold their home...
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- ..in one of Hampshire's - quaint rural villages...
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- ..and moved to Penygroes - with Jane's son James.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- Why? Why did they leave - the village green behind...
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- ..for a coal-scarred landscape?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- The house in Penygroes - at 105,000...
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- ..would've been - 300,000-350,000 here, easily.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- It's frightening, - the house prices down here.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- It's the worst in the country - apart from London.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- We're jumping on the bandwagon...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- ..because - we won't get the chance otherwise.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- For Jane, - the move had one sole purpose.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- No more paying the building society.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- One of the most exciting things - for me is to be totally debt free.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- In 2004...
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- ..it seemed like their dream - was about to realized.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- Cribyn is a village - in rural Ceredigion.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- It's a small village - with fewer than 300 inhabitants...
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- ..and no shop or pub any longer.
0:07:25 > 0:07:30- Despite that, Cribyn is - a thriving Welsh-speaking community.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Thank you, Harry Thomas, - and his chauffeur.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- It's a village in which residents - enjoy themselves to the max.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- At the beginning of 2003...
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- ..this single-storey house - in Maidstone, Kent...
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- ..was Wim and Coby Ruysch's home.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- By September, - they were on their way to Cribyn...
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- ..to Maes Lwyd, - their 'place in the country.'
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- This is our room. - It has no light, I'm afraid.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- It doesn't have any light.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- But the property - wasn't the only attraction.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Wim and Coby have four children.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Samantha, Shaun - and the twins, Claire and Louise.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- The four were central - to their decision making.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- We've got - the playing fields next door...
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- ..and the language that goes on - during football matches...
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- ..is unbelievable, so we keep - the kids indoors some of the days.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- The end of the younger children's - first day at primary school.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- Their happiness brings - obvious relief for their father.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- So you had a good time today?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Yeah.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Yeah.- - But things didn't go so well...
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- ..at secondary school, warning them - it wouldn't all be plain sailing.
0:08:54 > 0:09:00- Mattie Evans - was born and raised at Maes Lwyd.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- This is the third family - she's welcomed to her former home...
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- ..since she and her family - gave up farming five years ago.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- You wash your bum there.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16- We don't know if they're - going to integrate into society...
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- ..so it's always a worry.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- To a certain degree...
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- ..I'm inclined to just wait and see.
0:09:23 > 0:09:29- Often, they don't stay longer than - two or three years, then they leave.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35- You can't put your trust in them, - you just have to wait and see.
0:09:38 > 0:09:44- During the summer of 2004, the end - of their first year in Wales...
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- ..it seemed - that none of the three families...
0:09:47 > 0:09:50- ..were about to move on elsewhere.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55- We've everything we could wish for. - Who could ask for anything more?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- What we want is here, so you're - stuck with us for a long time!
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- We're going to put a few miles, or - a few hours, on the tractor yet...
0:10:06 > 0:10:10- ..and breed a few more calves yet - and make a bit more hay yet.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- And make a few more friends yet.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- The incomers of 2004 - were clear about their intentions.
0:10:18 > 0:10:23- But 10 years on, where are they now?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Are they still here?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- .

0:10:31 > 0:10:36- In 2004, Wales was a cheap place - for English people to retreat to.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- The kind Welsh neighbourhood - seemed like paradise.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Very busy for a school function.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Very busy for a school function.- - An ideal place to start afresh.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- In 2014, the majority of immigrants - who arrived in England...
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- ..came in search of work.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05- In September 2013...
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- ..Simon and Julie Moss - took possession of this cottage...
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- ..near Gaerwen on Anglesey - with its spectacular views.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- I used to live in Worcestershire.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- I spent all of my childhood - in the countryside.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- No farming in the blood...
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- ..but I was slightly - part of a farming community...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- ..but never got - as far as living on a smallholding.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Always wanted to but not until now.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- That was merely a week - before their wedding.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- We ended up here almost by accident.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- We'd been looking for about a year - to find a house with land.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- I'd seen this house on the internet.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- We were here for two minutes - and fell in love with this...
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- ..and decided - we'd drop everything and move.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- It was love at first sight.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Both of them have a dream.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05- To turn Ynys Ferw Fach - into a self-sufficient island.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11- The smallholding consists - of just over two acres of ground.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- We've got...
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- ..27 chickens, a cockerel...
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- ..five ducks...
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- ..and we've just got our first pigs.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32- We are rearing them for meat but - we'll know they've had a good life.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Hello, how are you?
0:12:38 > 0:12:39- How are you?
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- How are you?- - Fine, thanks.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- I've got a good friend called Nia.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- She knocked - on the door one morning...
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- ..we started a conversation about - sheep and it went on from there.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57- She's introduced me to farmers - and other friends in the area.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- She's invited me to coffee mornings - and social things, really.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- But she's been - a major part of settling in here.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- In the hills of Snowdonia...
0:13:13 > 0:13:19- ..in the remote valley of Machno, - the chills of winter take hold.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04- But how do they blend in to society?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- On which door must they knock...
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- ..to gain entry?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- I made the decision that I wanted - to go to church in the community.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- That was a good way - of getting involved.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- And then, of course, - the choir as well.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- It's a wonderful way of - getting involved in the community.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54- .."Hello, I'm Dave Morris.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58- "I've heard that you can sing.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- "I'll sit in your kitchen...
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- "..until you agree - to join the Penmachno choir."
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Dave Morris' wife Gaynor...
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- ..is just as welcoming to incomers - as her husband.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- Get the kettle on, Gaynor.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- The pair met - on the banks of the Mersey.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Dave was a policeman - while Gaynor was a nurse.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- When the children were small...
0:15:29 > 0:15:34- ..they returned to Wales and - Dave became the village constable.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- But five years went by...
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- ..before they discovered - the true worth of the community.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- I'm old now, you see, and I'm cold.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- In 1984...
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- ..David was involved - in an awful accident.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59- Everyone - in the village was fantastic.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02- All the villagers - were fantastic to me.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- They helped me.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- They helped - with logs for the fire...
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- ..and lifts to the hospital - to visit David and things like that.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- It's a very nice place to live.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- # The sound of your voice is enough
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- # To quell all the doubts

0:16:51 > 0:16:53- I've ended up doing it.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- Somehow or other we've tried to give - something back to the community.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- People helped us when we arrived - after getting married...
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- ..so it's only right - that we should help them.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- As someone - who's moved in to the community...
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- ..the residents - have been very welcoming.
