-A week after 71 Tumble residents

-returned from holiday in Spain...

-..some of Dawn's customers have

-called at the cafe to reminisce.

-You look well oiled here, Brend.

-You look well oiled here, Brend.

-

-That's coke I'm drinking!

-Oh, yes, it does look like coke.

-What are you doing in this photo?

-What are you doing in this photo?

-

-That's not me - it's Betty!

-And what's Dorothy doing here?

-And what's Dorothy doing here?

-

-Having some fun.

-And she ended up being sick!

-There's Betty and Linda.

-There's Robin and Betty -

-Betty's in all these photos.

-I still haven't paid for that dress.

-The bill arrived yesterday.

-You know the black one I wore?

-That was a birthday present.

-Don't show this on telly or

-I'll have Social Security on to me.

-I'm on a pension -

-claiming poll tax rebate and things.

-They'll reckon I'm living it up.

-I'm like an old woman in this one.

-I'm like an old woman in this one.

-

-That's a nice dress.

-It was reduced to 30.

-Where are you lot in this photo?

-That's in my house -

-and I'm not in the photo again!

-I bet they were all hiding from me.

-While the staff of one village

-business pass the time of day...

-..it's another busy day

-at Gwyn Williams's garage.

-We bought our first minibus

-in March 1962.

-Before that, we had a motor garage.

-After a few years, we got our

-first bus, registration 979 ABX.

-It was March 1st, 1962.

-We went to fetch it from Dover.

-Things are going well, fair play.

-We have vehicles

-on the pits every day.

-We have three pits in all,

-with two mechanics on each.

-The regional police office at

-Cross Hands is busy enough as well.

-They sometimes deal

-with unusual calls.

-We've had a call from a woman

-living in Banc y Gors, Tumble...

-..to say that there are

-two Rottweilers in her garden.

-They're chasing her rabbit!

-She thinks they've come

-from the farm behind her garden.

-Let's hope they can deal with it -

-I don't fancy chasing Rottweilers!

-We'll have to detain them

-in the back of the car!

-We'll head up to the farm first.

-PC Wyn Davies and PC Arwyn Walters

-face another challenge...

-..but they're having a tea-break

-at Gwyn Williams's garage.

-The van's later than usual today.

-It'll be here soon.

-This is serious -

-we can't work without food.

-This is where I grew up,

-the posh part of Tumble.

-The next site here is Troed y Bryn,

-followed by Banc y Gors.

-I lived here until the age of 11.

-This patch of grass was our Wembley,

-Cardiff Arms Park, everything.

-I lived in house number 16.

-Coming back is strange - everything

-seems smaller than I remember it.

-I hope the dogs aren't there now.

-I hope the dogs aren't there now.

-

-You're not going out?

-Go for it!

-Relief at the garage -

-the mobile cafe has arrived at last.

-The vultures have descended.

-I could call them something else

-but vultures will do for now.

-It's the first time

-he's been at the back of the queue!

-The National Eisteddfod has arrived

-15 miles down the road in Llanelli.

-Some Tumble folk

-are having a busy week.

-It's the Tumble ladies' turn to run

-one of the festival's popular cafes.

-Who's on next?

-Someone else is taking over

-for the next two hours.

-We've been here from 9-11.

-It was quiet earlier on

-but it's getting busier now.

-Back in Tumble, Wyn and Arwyn

-are about to tackle the Rottweilers.

-They were chasing the rabbit.

-Have you checked

-if it's still there?

-There it is - safe and sound.

-The two dogs came in

-and were playing around here.

-I can't see anyone on the farm now

-but the dogs are back there.

-They came through the fence.

-Check to see if there's a hole.

-Check to see if there's a hole.

-

-No - you take a look, Arwyn.

-We'll have to tell them.

-It's not the first time - we used to

-have two rabbits - but not any more.

-One of the dogs seemed fairly quiet.

-One of the dogs seemed fairly quiet.

-

-There's a fence but they can jump.

-Has anyone been hurt by the dogs?

-Has anyone been hurt by the dogs?

-

-No.

-In Bethania, one last rehearsal

-for Cor Meibion Mynydd Mawr...

-..before they set off to

-compete in the Eisteddfod.

-Right - from the same place again.

-We're now on our way to the farm...

-..which used to be a field

-where we used to play as children.

-Here... Arwyn's

-just driven past - again!

-Your bad directions!

-Arwyn enjoys driving so much

-he forgets where we're going.

-There's a sign with a Rottweiler

-saying, "We Live Here!"

-I hope they're not there

-right now.

-"Caution - Children Playing."

-If I'm not back, lads...

-If I'm not back, lads...

-

-There's another dog over there.

-As Wyn ventures out, Arwyn is

-quite content to stay in the car.

-Sit! Go on! >

-I hope they don't jump

-over the gate.

-Doesn't look like

-there's anyone at home.

-That one was going to bite you.

-That one was going to bite you.

-

-Was he?

-With the rehearsal over, conductor

-Chris is feeling confident.

-If they sing like that on the day,

-it doesn't matter if we don't win.

-We'll give the others a good run.

-Forty of the Tumble's finest voices

-climbing aboard a bus...

-..owned by the Tumble's other

-bus company - Brodyr Williams.

-We've received an interesting call

-from a chap living in Aberystwyth.

-He's lost his mobile phone off

-the roundabout, 200 yards eastbound.

-I've got the phone's number here.

-We're going to dial the number on

-our phone and wait for it to ring.

-Looks like I'll have

-to do the legwork yet again.

-You know how to

-use this phone, do you?

-Not too technical, I hope.

-Can you read my handwriting?

-Press the numbers and then "OK".

-The number's ringing, anyway.

-Answer the phone!

-Now we've found it, we can call

-the owner to come and pick it up.

-Result! Found it.

-That was a bit of luck.

-You can use it to phone Mr Williams

-and tell him we've found it.

-Gwyn Williams's garage is one

-of the village's main employers...

-..with 36 people working there.

-The business started in 1956.

-Graham, the original owner's

-grandson, is one of the management.

-Someone's left a spanner here -

-years ago by the look of it.

-Maybe when it was new!

-Looks like it's been here for years.

-With 40 buses on the road, there's

-plenty of maintenance work...

-..all carried out

-by the garage staff.

-We're checking underneath the coach,

-checking the steering linkages.

-This needs adjusting - there's

-a little too much on either side.

-This is the track rod and

-we'll need to adjust it slightly.

-Okay, Rhodri, let it go!

-Tumble carnival day

-is fast approaching.

-Behind the old fire station,

-Helen is already hard at work.

-We're trying to make a car

-for the float...

-..so the children can perform

-'Grease' in the carnival.

-It's coming along,

-surely but very slowly.

-Once this back end is finished,

-we can put the boot on it.

-We're copying a picture of the car.

-Four weeks to go -

-and we've only just started.

-I hope we get it finished

-in time, that's all.

-There's a lot of work left,

-so if anyone wants to lend a hand!

-I'll hit my finger - guaranteed.

-Back at the cafe,

-the committee has decided...

-..that it too would like

-to take part in the carnival.

-While Betty feeds the hungry...

-..Dawn and Brenda struggle

-to keep their plans secret.

-We're not telling you what we're

-doing or no one will want to see us.

-We haven't made up our minds yet.

-We haven't made up our minds yet.

-

-So long as you turn up!

-You'd better not tell anyone.

-You'd better not tell anyone.

-

-Don't tell that boyfriend of yours!

-Hey, we've got a jockey. Stan Mills!

-Once he's dressed up, Stan

-will be prettier than any of us!

-As Lil reveals her brother Stan's

-secrets in the cafe...

-..there are preparations for another

-important ceremony in Llanelli.

-A big day for another

-Tumble resident - Ken Lloyd.

-Today, he's joining the Eisteddfod

-Gorsedd in his white robes.

-There, we have to get him

-looking pretty!

-Is that right now?

-Are you happy with that?

-From one carnival in Llanelli,

-back to the village hall in Tumble.

-Over a hundred children

-are in their best clothes...

-..lining up for star roles in the

-first local carnival for two years.

-Some familiar faces have been

-tempted into the judges' chairs.

-It's going absolutely wonderfully.

-The turnout is better

-than we expected...

-..and the girls

-have worked very hard.

-It's really, really good.

-I'm over the moon at the turnout.

-It's really good.

-So Helen's happy with the response.

-But one of the judges

-will have to keep a low profile.

-I'll have to lie low

-for a month after this.

-No peeking!

-And now the choir disembarks

-from the bus in Llanelli.

-Now then, now then,

-don't pull it too tight.

-Have you seen Gethin?

-Have you seen Gethin?

-

-No.

-I think we're ready for the

-competition - at least I hope so!

-With four choirs competing,

-tension mounts...

-..as the time approaches

-for Mynydd Mawr to go on stage.

-Back in Tumble, the carnival's

-royal family is about to be named.

-Yes, they've done a very good job.

-You had to say that, didn't you?

-The judges' work is done in Tumble.

-But the competition

-isn't over yet in Llanelli.

-At Clwb Top in Tumble, local boy

-Dai Reynolds is performing...

-..as the carnival

-fund raising continues.

-Some relax while

-others are on tenterhooks...

-..waiting for the adjudication

-in Llanelli.

-In first place

-were Cor Meibion Llangwm.

-In second place, Aberystwyth.

-High commendation goes

-to the other two choirs...

-..and so Aberafan and Mynydd Mawr

-share joint-third place.

-A disappointing result - many would

-say Mynydd Mawr were hard done by...

-..and their disappointment

-is obvious.

-I don't mind coming third.

-He commended our choice of music.

-But I don't think the choir we were

-joint-third with was as good as us.

-Rather disappointed, but I was

-pleased with their performance.

-But there's no denying the

-other two choirs were very good.

-As the competition and analysis

-goes on in Llanelli...

-..it's a big night in the Tumble and

-the carnival coffers are bulging.

-Thank you!

-Next week,

-it's a busy weekend in Tumble.

-Two weddings and a carnival.

-And the village is full of lorries!
