-Tonight, we look back at some

-of the highlights from the series.

0:00:390:00:44

-During the past year,

-Dechrau Canu Dechrau Canmol...

0:00:440:00:48

-..has visited many chapels

-and churches in Wales and beyond.

0:00:480:00:53

-Tonight, we will join

-some of our guests once more.

0:00:530:00:58

-We'll meet a young girl

-from Brecon...

0:00:590:01:02

-..who was the YFC's junior

-member of the year.

0:01:020:01:05

-A stalwart of the St Dogmaels

-community in Pembrokeshire.

0:01:060:01:10

-We'll hear stories about seaside

-trips to West Wales beaches...

0:01:110:01:15

-..with Towyn Jones.

0:01:150:01:17

-We begin with the hymn that started

-the series back in September...

0:01:200:01:26

-..from the proclamation cymanfa...

0:01:260:01:29

-..of the Carmarthenshire

-National Eisteddfod.

0:01:290:01:32

-"Melys ydyw cywair ein telynau glan

0:01:330:01:36

-"Am fod oriau bywyd

-oll yn llawn o gan."

0:01:360:01:39

-The hymn tune is Amanwy.

0:01:390:01:41

-During the summer holidays...

0:03:470:03:50

-..Welsh beaches welcome visitors

-from near and far.

0:03:500:03:55

-This isn't a new phenomenon.

0:03:550:03:57

-I was joined by Reverend Towyn Jones

-on Aberporth beach.

0:03:570:04:02

-He told me about his experiences

-visiting the beaches.

0:04:020:04:05

-You've been visiting this beach

-for a few years.

0:04:060:04:10

-For a few years, yes.

0:04:110:04:13

-T Llew Jones once noted that the

-best book title he'd ever read...

0:04:130:04:17

-..was Kate Davies's book

-'Hafau Fy Mhlentyndod'.

0:04:180:04:21

-The summers of my youth

-were spent in Aberporth.

0:04:210:04:24

-The special day was

-the second Thursday in August...

0:04:250:04:30

-..Dydd Iau Mawr (Great Thursday).

0:04:300:04:33

-Dic Jones points out

-in his autobiography...

0:04:330:04:36

-..that it was a notable day

-since before his time.

0:04:360:04:40

-It was a far-reaching

-ecumenical Sunday school trip.

0:04:400:04:47

-People flocked here from far afield

-on this special Thursday.

0:04:470:04:51

-They were mostly farm workers...

0:04:520:04:55

-..who relaxed between the hay

-harvest and the reaping harvest.

0:04:550:04:59

-Nothing in particular happened.

0:04:590:05:03

-It was just a social gathering.

0:05:030:05:05

-It was also an opportunity...

0:05:050:05:07

-..to bathe in the sea

-once in that particular year.

0:05:070:05:11

-My grandfather had a strange belief

-- he had to drink some seawater.

0:05:110:05:15

-This would be done on Dydd Iau Mawr.

0:05:160:05:18

-I don't think they undressed...

0:05:180:05:21

-..but then again,

-they had so much clothes to undress.

0:05:210:05:25

-They dressed

-as if they were going to a cymanfa.

0:05:250:05:28

-It must have been the highlight

-of their summer.

0:05:290:05:33

-It was a Sunday school trip, but

-Aberporth was the only destination.

0:05:340:05:38

-It was a very special occasion

-between the harvests.

0:05:390:05:43

-It was also holiday time for people

-who had gone to work in rural areas.

0:05:440:05:48

-They returned to the places

-where they were raised.

0:05:480:05:52

-You had a cross-section

-of society here.

0:05:520:05:55

-It was a very different world.

0:05:550:05:57

-This was Great Thursday - it was

-a special day for all concerned.

0:05:580:06:05

-These days, you can jump in the car

-and you're on the beach in no time.

0:06:050:06:10

-Beach trips used to be special

-for Sunday school trips.

0:06:110:06:15

-It was as if the sea only existed

-on that particular Thursday.

0:06:150:06:20

-Mair Garnon James is a stalwart

-of the St Dogmaels community.

0:09:450:09:51

-She published her autobiography last

-year - 'Ody'r Teid yn Mynd Mas?'

0:09:510:09:55

-I met up with her to talk about her

-life, her community and her faith.

0:09:550:10:00

-I've already learnt that the village

-is locally referred to as Llandoch.

0:10:030:10:08

-It was the name that the

-village's original inhabitants used.

0:10:090:10:14

-We've always

-referred to it as Llandoch.

0:10:140:10:18

-No matter where you are,

-you could be in Cardiff or London...

0:10:180:10:23

-..but if you hear someone say

-they're from Llandoch...

0:10:230:10:27

-..you know they're a native.

0:10:270:10:29

-In which county are we

-because there is some disagreement.

0:10:290:10:33

-Every river has two sides.

-We're on the south side.

0:10:330:10:37

-This is, and always has been,

-Pembrokeshire.

0:10:380:10:41

-I've never moved and I know I've

-only ever lived in Pembrokeshire.

0:10:410:10:47

-I was born in this village.

0:10:470:10:50

-I'm the fifth generation to have

-lived in the house where I live now.

0:10:500:10:54

-You live in the same house

-in which you were born?

0:10:550:10:58

-Yes, the same house.

0:10:580:11:00

-I've never wanted to live

-anywhere else.

0:11:000:11:04

-What appeal

-does the county hold for you?

0:11:040:11:07

-It's a lovely place. I know

-the people. I've grown up with them.

0:11:070:11:11

-I was in school with many of them.

0:11:110:11:14

-I taught there for 12 years.

0:11:140:11:16

-I've always known people

-in the village...

0:11:160:11:20

-..though we

-may not be related by blood.

0:11:200:11:23

-You're a renowned comedienne.

0:11:230:11:26

-When did you realize you had

-the gift of making people laugh?

0:11:260:11:31

-My humour

-was based on everyday life.

0:11:310:11:34

-I didn't prepare the material

-or make up the stories.

0:11:340:11:38

-These scenarios happened

-when I was a teacher...

0:11:380:11:42

-..or when I was

-in the company of others.

0:11:420:11:45

-As it happened, there was

-a bakery one side of the house...

0:11:450:11:50

-..and a blacksmith's forge

-on the other.

0:11:500:11:54

-People would convene there in the

-evenings or in their spare time...

0:11:550:11:59

-..and that's when

-the humour would flow.

0:12:000:12:02

-You also used to preach on Sundays.

0:12:030:12:05

-Do you think

-there should be comedy in religion?

0:12:050:12:09

-Humour is essential

-in public speaking.

0:12:090:12:12

-It you're too dry,

-people tend to switch off...

0:12:120:12:18

-..instead of listening.

0:12:180:12:21

-Our next hymn refers to the Lord...

0:12:220:12:24

-..as a guide and comforter

-throughout our lives.

0:12:240:12:28

-Is that how you view him?

0:12:280:12:30

-I've had many experiences

-throughout my life.

0:12:310:12:34

-Some have been far from pleasurable.

0:12:340:12:37

-But had it not been

-for God's guidance...

0:12:370:12:40

-..I wouldn't be here

-talking to you today.

0:12:400:12:43

-The Young Farmers' Club

-is an important society in Wales.

0:15:060:15:09

-It develops young talent

-in our rural communities.

0:15:100:15:13

-Last October, Rhys Meirion

-visited Elin Havard near Brecon.

0:15:130:15:18

-She was the society's

-junior member of the year.

0:15:190:15:22

-You're a member

-of the Young Farmers' Club.

0:15:230:15:26

-Yes, I'm privileged to be a member

-of such a wonderful society.

0:15:270:15:31

-It provides opportunities

-for young people in rural areas...

0:15:320:15:36

-..to enjoy the region, to socialize

-and to learn at the same time.

0:15:360:15:40

-I know the YFC is very active, but

-what activities do you do locally?

0:15:410:15:45

-We do all kinds of things...

0:15:460:15:48

-..from judging stock

-to flower arranging.

0:15:480:15:51

-Recently,

-we've been fortunate as a county...

0:15:510:15:55

-..to have

-a Welsh-language play commissioned.

0:15:550:15:58

-It's a drama

-which tells the story...

0:15:590:16:03

-..of the campaign 40 years ago...

0:16:030:16:07

-..to sink the Senny valley nearby.

0:16:070:16:09

-Fortunately, it didn't go ahead...

0:16:100:16:13

-..and we're able to celebrate

-the work of the older generation.

0:16:130:16:18

-You've an important role

-to fulfil this year.

0:16:180:16:21

-I've been privileged

-and honoured...

0:16:210:16:25

-..to receive the Wales YFC's

-Junior Member Of The Year award.

0:16:250:16:29

-I'm looking forward

-to becoming an ambassador...

0:16:300:16:33

-..for the society's

-younger members...

0:16:330:16:36

-..and to help them.

0:16:370:16:38

-It's a very busy farm.

-Do you enjoy helping out?

0:16:380:16:42

-Yes, I do. We're fortunate

-being among all the animals here.

0:16:420:16:47

-There's nothing better...

0:16:470:16:49

-..than welcoming newborn lambs

-during lambing season.

0:16:490:16:53

-I look forward to the harvest.

-It's a privilege being here.

0:16:540:16:57

-That's it for another week.

0:20:160:20:18

-Next week, we will look back

-at some of the year's celebrations.

0:20:180:20:24

-Our final hymn is

-Newyddion Da A Ddaeth I'n Bro.

0:20:240:20:28

-It was recorded in Alltwen

-last year.

0:20:280:20:31

-Until next week, goodbye.
