-Incomers - -people moving from England to Wales. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:07 | |
-To the heartland -of the Welsh language. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
-Over 100,000 of them -during the past decade. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:13 | |
-Today, the English are expressing -concerns about immigrants... | 0:00:19 | 0:00:24 | |
-..threatening their way of life. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
-But what about the English who -still move here in their thousands? | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
-What effect -do these white incomers have... | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
-..on our way of life, and -what effect does our way of life... | 0:00:36 | 0:00:40 | |
-..have on them? | 0:00:41 | 0:00:42 | |
-In this series, -we'll search for answers... | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
-..not from politicians -or campaigners... | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
-..but from people on the front line, -those who sustain the way of life... | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
-..and those who move to Wales, -the incomers of 2014. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
-We'll also revisit three families... | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-..who we followed 10 years ago. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
-The incomers of 2004. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
-We ask, where are they now? | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
-Have they stayed or departed? | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
-How have they found -their welcome to Wales? | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
-Penmachno and Cwm Penmachno... | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
-..are two villages -situated near Betws-y-Coed. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
-# If only it were summer all -year round, with blue skies above # | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
-The Welsh tradition... | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
-..lives on in the voice -of the late Richie Thomas... | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
-..one of the valley's -most famous natives. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
-Like so many valleys -in North and West Wales... | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
-..the fact that -young people are moving away... | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
-..and non-Welsh speakers -are moving in... | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
-..is a double blow -for the community. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
-But despite -everyone and everything... | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
-..the traditional -Welsh way of life remains. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
-# Onward, Christian soldiers # | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
-Though some of the accents -are different. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
-The Penmachno choir -rehearses every Friday night... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:10 | |
-..before we go to the pub. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
-There are about 30 of us... | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
-..in the choir. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
-Between 2010 and 2014... | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-..the villages of North Wales -have seen 1,200 incomers a year... | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
-..arrive from England. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
-In this first episode, -we ask what attracts them. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
-Are they the same things which -attracted three families in 2004? | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-Sennybridge, on the eastern fringes -of the Welsh language... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
-..and the agricultural heartland -of the old county of Brecknockshire. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
-In September 2003... | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
-..true to countryside traditions... | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-..a crowd gathered -at Llwynneuadd Farm... | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
-..to support -the newly-retired family... | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-..and to catch a glimpse -of the new owners. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
-John Kirk and wife Jackie, who were -au fait with rearing horses... | 0:03:11 | 0:03:16 | |
-..but had never farmed before, were -moving here from Barnet, London. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:21 | |
-Why did they choose this place? -Why did they choose Wales? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-First come to Wales -best part of 30 years ago. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
-From the moment I arrived, that was -the first time I'd been to Wales. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
-And, you know, -I just fell in love with it. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:41 | |
-At the all-important bar -on the day of the sale... | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
-..Edwin Roderick suspects there's -also a less romantic reason for it. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:53 | |
-I considered buying Llwynneuadd... | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
-..but I was expecting -to pay closer to the guide price. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
-Anything over that was unattainable. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
-People can sell properties -in these big towns... | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
-..and can afford to buy a farm, -so farms are cheap investments then. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:17 | |
-John and Jackie -are shrewd business people... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
-..but they face -an enormous challenge. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
-They must farm one of -Brecknockshire's largest hill farms. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
-On the day of the sale, John -appeared surprisingly confident. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
-A bit of a new shopping list for me, -this is. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
-I got a bit of kit -to go and look at in a minute. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
-John is a bona fide Cockney. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
-We had fruit stalls -in Portobello Road Market. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
-My dad and all the barrow boys -and the porters... | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-..you know, it was a buzz. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
-Without a doubt, -the business buzz is in his blood. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
-That has been my education. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
-Standing on the front -of my dad's stall... | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
-..with a bunch of spring onions -and radishes, saying... | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
-.."'Ere are, lady, -two for a tanner." | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
-Someone who knows -there's much more to hill farming... | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-..than buying and selling -is Basil Williams... | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
-..who would teach the incomers -the meaning of the word 'neighbour'. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
-Where's John Kirk now then? Bring -him here so we can have a few words. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:28 | |
-Penygroes, in the heart of what was -once Carmarthenshire's coalfields. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:36 | |
-At the end of the Victorian era... | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
-..this was once -an unpopulated agricultural area... | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-..until Aeron Thomas, -an incomer from the Teifi Valley... | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
-..established -Emlyn Colliery at the site. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
-Workers' houses were built -around the Farmers' Arms tavern... | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
-..and a new chapel was erected -for the burgeoning congregation. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
-It was this chapel which gave the -new industrial community its name. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:05 | |
-In 2004, Rob and Jane Johnson -sold their home... | 0:06:06 | 0:06:11 | |
-..in one of Hampshire's -quaint rural villages... | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
-..and moved to Penygroes -with Jane's son James. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-Why? Why did they leave -the village green behind... | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
-..for a coal-scarred landscape? | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
-The house in Penygroes -at 105,000... | 0:06:26 | 0:06:29 | |
-..would've been -300,000-350,000 here, easily. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-It's frightening, -the house prices down here. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
-It's the worst in the country -apart from London. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
-We're jumping on the bandwagon... | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
-..because -we won't get the chance otherwise. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
-For Jane, -the move had one sole purpose. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
-No more paying the building society. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
-One of the most exciting things -for me is to be totally debt free. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
-In 2004... | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
-..it seemed like their dream -was about to realized. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:05 | |
-Cribyn is a village -in rural Ceredigion. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:14 | |
-It's a small village -with fewer than 300 inhabitants... | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
-..and no shop or pub any longer. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
-Despite that, Cribyn is -a thriving Welsh-speaking community. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:30 | |
-Thank you, Harry Thomas, -and his chauffeur. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
-It's a village in which residents -enjoy themselves to the max. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
-At the beginning of 2003... | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-..this single-storey house -in Maidstone, Kent... | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
-..was Wim and Coby Ruysch's home. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-By September, -they were on their way to Cribyn... | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
-..to Maes Lwyd, -their 'place in the country.' | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
-This is our room. -It has no light, I'm afraid. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
-It doesn't have any light. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
-But the property -wasn't the only attraction. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
-Wim and Coby have four children. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
-Samantha, Shaun -and the twins, Claire and Louise. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
-The four were central -to their decision making. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
-We've got -the playing fields next door... | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-..and the language that goes on -during football matches... | 0:08:21 | 0:08:25 | |
-..is unbelievable, so we keep -the kids indoors some of the days. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
-The end of the younger children's -first day at primary school. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:36 | |
-Their happiness brings -obvious relief for their father. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
-So you had a good time today? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
-Yeah. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
-Yeah. - -But things didn't go so well... | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
-..at secondary school, warning them -it wouldn't all be plain sailing. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:51 | |
-Mattie Evans -was born and raised at Maes Lwyd. | 0:08:54 | 0:09:00 | |
-This is the third family -she's welcomed to her former home... | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
-..since she and her family -gave up farming five years ago. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
-You wash your bum there. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
-We don't know if they're -going to integrate into society... | 0:09:11 | 0:09:16 | |
-..so it's always a worry. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
-To a certain degree... | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
-..I'm inclined to just wait and see. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
-Often, they don't stay longer than -two or three years, then they leave. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:29 | |
-You can't put your trust in them, -you just have to wait and see. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:35 | |
-During the summer of 2004, the end -of their first year in Wales... | 0:09:38 | 0:09:44 | |
-..it seemed -that none of the three families... | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
-..were about to move on elsewhere. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
-We've everything we could wish for. -Who could ask for anything more? | 0:09:50 | 0:09:55 | |
-What we want is here, so you're -stuck with us for a long time! | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
-We're going to put a few miles, or -a few hours, on the tractor yet... | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
-..and breed a few more calves yet -and make a bit more hay yet. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
-And make a few more friends yet. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
-The incomers of 2004 -were clear about their intentions. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
-But 10 years on, where are they now? | 0:10:18 | 0:10:23 | |
-Are they still here? | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |

-In 2004, Wales was a cheap place -for English people to retreat to. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:36 | |
-The kind Welsh neighbourhood -seemed like paradise. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
-Very busy for a school function. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
-Very busy for a school function. - -An ideal place to start afresh. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-In 2014, the majority of immigrants -who arrived in England... | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
-..came in search of work. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
-But what are incomers to Wales -searching for? | 0:10:58 | 0:11:02 | |
-In September 2013... | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
-..Simon and Julie Moss -took possession of this cottage... | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
-..near Gaerwen on Anglesey -with its spectacular views. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:13 | |
-I used to live in Worcestershire. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
-I spent all of my childhood -in the countryside. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
-No farming in the blood... | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
-..but I was slightly -part of a farming community... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
-..but never got -as far as living on a smallholding. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
-Always wanted to but not until now. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
-That was merely a week -before their wedding. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
-We ended up here almost by accident. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
-We'd been looking for about a year -to find a house with land. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
-I'd seen this house on the internet. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:48 | |
-We were here for two minutes -and fell in love with this... | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
-..and decided -we'd drop everything and move. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
-It was love at first sight. | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-Both of them have a dream. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
-To turn Ynys Ferw Fach -into a self-sufficient island. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:05 | |
-The smallholding consists -of just over two acres of ground. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:11 | |
-We've got... | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
-..27 chickens, a cockerel... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
-..five ducks... | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
-..and we've just got our first pigs. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
-We are rearing them for meat but -we'll know they've had a good life. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:32 | |
-Hello, how are you? | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
-How are you? | 0:12:38 | 0:12:39 | |
-How are you? - -Fine, thanks. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
-I've got a good friend called Nia. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
-She knocked -on the door one morning... | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
-..we started a conversation about -sheep and it went on from there. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
-She's introduced me to farmers -and other friends in the area. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:57 | |
-She's invited me to coffee mornings -and social things, really. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-But she's been -a major part of settling in here. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
-In the hills of Snowdonia... | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
-..in the remote valley of Machno, -the chills of winter take hold. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:19 | |
-In the comfort of their home, -Keith Wadcock and Lee Wilkinson... | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
-..are preparing for -their second Christmas in Wales. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:33 | |
-Lee's a hairdresser... | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-..and Keith -is a retired headmaster. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
-They are both from Liverpool -and live in one of the cottages... | 0:13:39 | 0:13:44 | |
-..previously built -for quarry workers. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
-# The little Lord Jesus | 0:13:47 | 0:13:52 | |
-# Asleep on the hay # | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
-Both are keen -to belong to the community. | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
-But how do they blend in to society? | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
-On which door must they knock... | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
-..to gain entry? | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
-I made the decision that I wanted -to go to church in the community. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
-That was a good way -of getting involved. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
-And then, of course, -the choir as well. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
-It's a wonderful way of -getting involved in the community. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
-Nigel Thomas -is another member of the choir. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
-He and wife Geraldine -moved here from southeast England... | 0:14:29 | 0:14:33 | |
-..three years ago. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
-Whilst on holiday, they were used to -receiving a warm welcome in Wales. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-But the Penmachno welcome -was unique. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:44 | |
-A man came to the door -and said in English... | 0:14:44 | 0:14:50 | |
-.."Hello, I'm Dave Morris. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
-"I've heard that you can sing. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
-"I'll sit in your kitchen... | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
-"..until you agree -to join the Penmachno choir." | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
-Dave Morris' wife Gaynor... | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
-..is just as welcoming to incomers -as her husband. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
-Get the kettle on, Gaynor. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
-The pair met -on the banks of the Mersey. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:23 | |
-Dave was a policeman -while Gaynor was a nurse. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
-When the children were small... | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
-..they returned to Wales and -Dave became the village constable. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:34 | |
-But five years went by... | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
