Cover Story
St David’s Day
For the uninitiated
As Wales wakes up to St David’s Day, our contributor, and ‘English woman in Cardigan’, Sally Sellwood, offers her thoughts on this most Welsh of celebrations.
WORDS Sally Sellwood IMAGES © Taesmileland at FreeDigitalPhotos.net We moved to this very Welsh corner of West Wales mere weeks before St David’s Day. With my children in Welsh medium primary school, I was thoroughly bewildered. Talk of eisteddfods and the Urdd; of Welsh national dress and daffodils. I rifled my way through the local charity shops, managed to pick up 2 suitably sized Welsh rugby shirts and some leek brooches and considered my duties discharged. 2 years on, the bewilderment has passed. With my daughter requesting full Welsh costume to perform at the school Eisteddfod, I feel that I can now offer some thoughts on St David’s Day for the uninitiated, and how to enjoy the celebrations.
Patriotism is something to be proud of If, like me, you have moved from England, you may be surprised by quite how enthusiastically the Welsh embrace Wales and all things related. After all, us English barely raise a well-crooked little finger to St George’s Day with our cup of tea (served in fine bone china of course), overtaken as it has been for many by nastier elements of the far right. While celebrating St George’s Day seems somehow tainted with racism, here in Wales, national pride seems to be just that – fuelled by all things good about Wales, rather than a distrust or hatred of others. That is, unless you’re talking about the English rugby team… Cawl is not a neckline… You’re thinking of ‘cowl’ which is something very different. Cawl, the Welsh national dish, has nothing to do with slouchy knitwear and everything to do with nutritious, economical food. A one pot meal, it’s certainly something I’ve come to embrace. If I’d served up soup with meat and barley in

it back where we came from, my brood would have turned their noses up at it; call it ‘cawl’ and they wolf it down and come back for more. I put it down to the fresh, Welsh air. One thing I have learned is that you must be prepared to have an opinion about cawl: which type of meat is the best to use and how long to cook it for. Strange hats are not essential If you have primary school age children, you may find that there is significant pressure on them to come to school dressed in ‘traditional Welsh costume’ on St David’s Day. Flat cap, waistcoat and trousers for boys; for girls, some form of full skirt, a shawl and one of those hats. (Don’t panic – you can pick them up in Tescos). Welsh rugby shirts will also pass muster. The school will probably be holding an ‘eisteddfod’ – a festival of literature and music – and you may also find yourself driving all over the place delivering your offspring to compete in the various County Eisteddfods that are taking place. Try and enjoy the fact that music and the arts are so celebrated in Wales and welcome the opportunities your children are getting, rather than moaning about your petrol bill… Don’t mention the ‘R’ word. The ‘R’ word? Rugby, of course. Remember what I said earlier? Rugby is the Welsh religion, and if
uine’ Welsh cake (mixed spice or cinnamon? Currants or sultanas?), but the bottom line is that anyone with half an idea of what to do in the kitchen can knock up a batch easily. Plus, they are delicious.
the Welsh Rugby Team is a collective God, the devil is the England 15 (other nations be warned). If you haven’t tried to discuss rugby with a Welshman (woman or child) already, you will find it truly alarming how much vitriol mere mention of the English Rugby team will generate – and coupled with the emotion of St David’s Day, well, it’s never going to
go well. The fact that the 6 Nations is on is NOT an excuse! Learn how to make Welsh Cakes. Welsh cakes are very straightforward to make and a great way to show that you are embracing Welsh culture. There are many versions available, and debates rage as to what constitutes a ‘gen-
Sing! It doesn’t matter if you don’t know the words (you probably won’t, at least not to begin with) – there is something thoroughly addictive about singing in Welsh, so just go with it. Within days of moving here, my 10 yr old son, who was always a reluctant singer and had bitterly hissed at me on a number of occasions prior to the move that he was “NEVER going to learn Welsh, Mummy. NEVER” was belting out ‘Mae hen wlad fy nhadau’ and ‘Sospan Fach’ with gusto, and entirely unprompted. Above all, St David’s Day is a day to remember what a wonderful part of the world we live in. Whether born and bred here, or, like me, ‘from away’, the stunning coastline, the magnificent hills, the bustling towns and the warmth of the welcome make West Wales a truly special place to be, and certainly worth wearing a daffodil for. Hapus Dydd Dewi Sant!

Police News • Encouraging staff to be vigilant and report any suspicious behaviour or vehicles to the police. • Encouraging people in the local community to be vigilant around buildings like places of worship and schools, reporting any suspicious activity, particularly the unexpected arrival of builders. • Adequately securing empty properties to stop thieves gaining access to strip metal such as boilers and pipes from buildings. Police are also advising that anyone involved in the scrap metal business must be registered with their local authority as scrap metal dealers or collectors and failure to properly register is an offence. PS Alison Rees advises “Any mobile collector is required by law to display their scrap metal collectors licence so that it is visible to someone outside the vehicle. “Any mobile collector stopped in Dyfed-Powys will be required to produce their council registration. “All mobile collectors should be registered with Natural Resources Wales as waste carriers, and complete waste transfer notes. “In addition, all items found in the vehicle must be accounted and recorded in the RISD Record Book (Registered Itinerant Scrap Dealers Record Book). Failure to do so will result in prosecution and a fine of up to £1,000. “Members of the public should be aware that they cannot be paid cash for any metal purchased, also they should satisfy themselves that the collector is legitimate and registered with the local authority in which they live.” For more information on metal theft visit www.metaltheftwales.co.uk or www. dyfed-powys.police.uk or call 101 to speak to your Neighbourhood Policing Team.

Police are reminding local residents and businesses regarding metal thefts, as this remains an issue which blights the whole of the community due to the money that can be made from selling metal items on.
S Alison Rees from Ceredigion Neighbourhood Policing team states that “Police forces continue to work together and with partner agencies to target this problem, but there are steps that can be taken to protect homes, businesses and public spaces.” You can protect your home by: • Keeping gates locked and installing strong fences - you can also grow prickly hedges around property boundaries which should be kept well pruned to maximise visibility. • Being aware of any objects that could be used to access your roof like water butts, wheelie bins and garden furniture - if possible these should be stored away from the building. • Restricting vehicle access where possible. • Putting outside lighting on a dusk till dawn circuit. • Storing ladders and tools in a secure place. • Being a good neighbour and
encouraging others in your neighbourhood to be vigilant. • Checking your roof regularly for any missing lead – early detection can allow for roof repairs before it rains and there is additional internal damage. You can protect businesses and public buildings by: • Regularly reviewing the perimeter fencing and gates security - checking for holes and weak spots which could allow people access • Improving visibility by cutting back vegetation, moving bins or improving the lighting. • Ensuring any equipment or materials stored near the building do not allow easy access to the roof. Anti-climb paint or physical barriers can be used to prevent access, but all anti-climb devices must be clearly signposted to comply with the Occupiers Liability Act 1984. • Not leaving any scrap materials lying around which could tempt thieves. • Using a forensic solution to mark any metal - warning signs saying forensic marking has been used should be displayed. • Installing CCTV with adequate monitoring and recording. Visible warning signs should be displayed as a deterrent to potential offenders.

Newport, Pembs, SA42 0LT Five things you should know about dementia
www.pembrokeshiredentalcentre.co.uk 1. Dementia is not a natural part of ageing
It’s true that dementia is more common among over-65s, and some of us do become more forgetful as we get older or during times of stress or illness. But dementia is a different sort of forgetfulness. Your memory loss will be more noticeable, and may be accompanied by mood changes and confusion. It’s important to ask your GP to check out any unusual symptoms as these can sometimes be treated with appropriate medication.
2. Dementia is caused by diseases of the brain
Dementia is the name for a collection of symptoms that include memory loss, mood changes and problems with communication and reasoning. These symptoms are brought about by a number of diseases that cause changes in the brain. The most common of these is Alzheimer’s disease, which changes the chemistry and structure of the brain causing the brain cells to die. Other types of dementia include vascular dementia and Pick’s disease.
3. It’s not just about losing your memory
People often think of dementia as a form of memory loss. And usually it does start by affecting people’s short-term memory. But it’s more than that - it can also affect the way people think, speak, perceive things, feel and behave. Dementia makes it harder to communicate and do everyday things, but there is a lot that can be done to help. Every year we understand more about dementia, and develop new strategies that can help to boost someone’s confidence and maintain their independence for as long as possible.
Pembrokeshire Dental Centre
4. It’s possible to live well with dementia
Most of us have an image in our mind of what life with dementia looks like. That image is often very bleak. So it can be very surprising to learn that many people with dementia continue to drive, socialise and hold down satisfying jobs. Even as dementia progresses, many people lead active, healthy lives, continue their hobbies, and enjoy loving friendships and relationships. Of course dementia does make it harder to do certain things, but with the right knowledge and support it is possible for someone with dementia to get the very best out of life.
5. There’s more to a person than the dementia
01239 820083
The inspirational people we work with are living proof that life doesn’t end when dementia begins. When someone is diagnosed, their plans for the future might change and they may need more help and support to keep doing the things they enjoy - but dementia doesn’t change who they are.

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to explore an ancient shipwreck up close? Members of the Cardigan Sub Aqua Club swim with fish and explore coastal shipwrecks nearly every weekend in Cardigan Bay and around the Pembrokeshire coast. WORDS Michael Martin IMAGE Š Colin Williams, CSAC
T
HERE are hundreds of shipwrecks along the coast of Wales, many of them just offshore. The wrecks include cargo ships and naval vessels, some with the cargo and guns still clearly visible on board. Sea life abounds in coastal waters. Club members experience close up encounters with lobsters, crabs, sea anemones, fan coral and a range of fish. The club organises trips further afield to Anglesey, Plymouth and even to the Red Sea. Open to members from 12 years old, with no upper age limit, SCUBA diving in a club setting is a unique and sociable way to enjoy our coastal waters. Families take part through numerous club sponsored
camping weekends and barbeques. Club diving offers a convenient way to get started exploring the undersea world. The club has all the equipment and qualified staff needed for beginners to start their training. Training starts in the pool, and continues in nearby waters. Once qualified as a diver, there are many new skills to acquire, such as underwater photography and boat handling.

Interview
From Farm to Hanger
The story of Mrs J
You’d think that running a 30 acre farm, welcoming children with learning and behavioural difficulties would be a full time occupation in itself, but Clare Johns has taken her work a step further. Passionate about forging a link between the farm and her skills as a seamstress, Mrs J is the result: a burgeoning collection of beautiful, hand-made clothing fashioned from the wool her animals produce. Here’s Clare’s story from farm to hangar! WORDS Sally Sellwood IMAGES ©Owen Howells
C
LARE Johns – the eponymous Mrs J – has farming and needlecraft running through her veins, and a degree in Fashion Design. She and her husband, along with a partner from Greenlinks, the Pembrokeshire based Community Interest Company, run the 30 acre Glan y Mor training farm, Pembroke. Children come to the farm every day and get involved with all the day to day activities of the farm. While she loves the farming life, Clare was looking for a way to link her work at Glan y Mor with her
passion for fashion and needlecraft. When someone suggested creating fabric from the wool her animals produced, the penny dropped. Clare is at the farm 3 days a week and spends the rest of the time at her workshop creating her fabulous designs. “I love being outdoors; the farmland has views of Pembroke Castle and we often say the horses have the best view. I’m hands on with everything – including the shearing. I also love being in the workshop creating
I’m hands on with everything – including the shearing. 12 YOUR LOCAL CROWD

clothes from the fabrics our animals have produced” With 50m of high quality woollen fabric, Clare concentrates on producing unique, high quality pieces – often with an equestrian feel which reflects her own interest in horses. Not only is she passionate about the craftsmanship that goes into her pieces, she is also passionate about their provenance. “I want to use local people, local materials. I feel really strongly about keeping business in Wales – if possible in Pembrokeshire – to keep skills here, and to generate as much business as I can for local people” As good as her word, the knitwear in the Mrs J collection, created from the angora wool from the Glan y Mor goats, is knitted by a group of local women at the church who put money that they earn back in to the church, and Clare is looking to expand into accessories such as leather bags, using local craftspeople. Clare’s commitment to every step of the production of her garments is a living embodiment of what sustainability means – and she’s passionate about it “I love that I can do this – there’s something really satisfying coming away with a product – a jacket perhaps – that has come from your sheep – sheep that you raised and sheared – and ate!” Mrs J products are currently all made from materials – wool, skins
– that have come from Glan y Mor’s own animals, although as demand increases she will look into buying in fleeces and skins from other, local farmers. You can find out more from http://www.mrsjpembrokshire. com/ and follow Clare on Twitter @mrs_j_pembs

shire and is the perfect retreat to de-stress and unwind in beautiful surroundings. Set just outside Laugharne in a in a 16th century dwelling, this boutique spa hotel encompasses all you need for that perfect couples get away. The main house is filled with character, as you’d expect from a building of its age, with weathered, exposed stone walls and creaking floorboards. Behind the rustic wooden doors, marked by years of use, you’ll find comfort with sumptuous soft furnishings, luxuriously rich fabrics, huge squishy sofas, and under floor heating. Added to this, the rooms feature top technology, with tv and sound systems and beautifully contemporary bathrooms. Everything found within this resort is there to ensure your stay is memorable & relaxed. Surrounding the house is an eclectic collection of outbuildings, which boast individually designed rooms, all with unique personal touches, exquisite en suite bathrooms and again, equipped with high spec media systems. Many rooms within the hotel offer views over the marshlands, acting as the perfect base to explore this beautiful part of Carmarthenshire. As guests of the Corran Resort, we stayed in an exceptionally comfortable suite, situated in the main house with the opportunity to sample a treatment in the new spa facilities. On our arrival on a very wet and windy morning we were greeted
www.yourlocalcrowd.co.uk
The perfect retreat to de-stress and unwind in beautiful surroundings warmly. As we had arrived a little early, our bags were taken ahead to our room, and we were shown through to the bar area. We settled next to the roaring wood burner for a warming pot of tea. I have to say, that during our stay, the staff at The Corran all appeared to be happy in their roles, going about their duties, efficiently and discreetly with warm friendly smiles. Nothing seemed too much bother for them. Sherif, working the bar when we arrived, ensured we had everything we needed, papers, a warm pot of tea, even asking us if we were warm enough before placing another log into the wood burner. On being shown to our suite we
found it was well situated on the ground floor, with fantastic views over the marshland and had everything we required and more, even a piano! Comprising of three rooms, all beautifully styled, the lounge had an invitingly large sofa, a roaring wood burner well stocked with logs for our stay, an impressive media system, and mini bar. The bedroom, again with media, had an enormous bed decorated with throws and cushions, and the bathroom...fit for a queen - today, that’s me! Featuring both an enormous shower and a separate bath, with plenty of fluffy towels, complimentary Pevonia toiletries, robes and slippers. We had treatments booked so headed over to the newly refurnished spa. A jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and pool needed our full attention and it was willingly given for a blissful hour before heading to the relaxation room for what, I’m embarrassed to say was a little snooze before our treatments! If the objective of the day was to unwind, the Corran Resort & Spa was easily facilitating this. Gently roused by our therapists, Becky & Melissa, we were shown to our treatment room. Ingeniously designed to cater for larger group bookings, one large room easily separated into 3 smaller rooms, each affording the necessary privacy, with 2 heated beds in each. The next hour slipped by in the expert hands of our therapist, who successfully unwound the knots irritating our muscles using the Pevonia body range, with oils containing the finest natural and botanical ingredients.
The afternoon was over before we knew it, I was beginning to wish we’d booked a two night stay, time was passing too quickly! The spa was my treat, but for my partner, in true man style, it was dinner he was looking forward to! We headed back to the bar for a pre-dinner drink whilst selecting our meal of choice. A small but select A la Carte menu was on offer and we started with Belly Pork and Foire Gras. Followed by Fillet of Beef and Welsh Lamb. Complimented with a bottle of rich red, a Chilean Merlot. The Corran Resort prides itself on using the very best locally sourced ingredients, offering a creative rotating menu full of welsh character. The restaurant itself, a large open space overlooking the gardens, offered a relaxed setting. Tables were well spaced, with candles, heavy linen clothes & napkins. The discreet and courteous waiting staff gently glided around the room, under the watchful eye of the maître de, ensuring that we had everything we needed. Two unexpected, complimentary tasting dishes were offered, perhaps a sample of the next planned menu, but all the dishes presented were delicious and beautifully presented. We finished the meal with a selection of local welsh cheeses and a glass of port. The perfect end to a perfect day. After a restful night sleep, broken only by the noises of an old house, awakening with its guests, we headed back to the restaurant for breakfast - again a delight, with fresh juices, gargantuan fresh croissants and a good selection of
cereals and fruits. The main menu catered for all tastes. The Corran breakfast offered the full works for the mighty appetite, no guesses what my partner chose! The Welsh breakfast offered lava bread and cockles (not for me, too early) and also smoked salmon or smoked haddock, both served with eggs. Fresh tea and coffee were also in good supply and after a hearty breakfast it was sadly time for us to say goodbye to The Corran Resort & Spa and return to the busy lives we lead, relaxed and refreshed after a blissful night away.

Prepare your garden in spring Spring – always welcome, and never more so than after the truly horrendous winter we’ve had here on the West Coast. Hopefully, with Winter now a distant memory, Spring brings with it more opportunities to get out into the garden and give it some TLC after the battering of the past few months. There’s plenty to be getting on with – here are our Spring gardening tips to keep you on track and your garden beautiful! WORDS Sally Sellwood

to keep on top of feeding hungry shrubs and roses and other plants that may need it. Tie in climbing and rambling roses, and watch out for late frosts! By May, you should find the herbaceous borders starting to come into their own.

Understanding the air quality in your home
With some tips on how to improve it
What happens to the fragrances we use to freshen or clean our homes, when they are released into the air? WORDS Morag Embleton Celtic Sustainables
A
N informative article in the BBC’s “Trust me I’m a Doctor” programme in January this year investigated air quality in six similar homes. They were particularly interested in what happens to the fragrances we use to freshen or clean rooms when they are released into the air. Professor Lewis from the University of York teamed up with the BBC Doctors. They tested each house for a range of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) including limonene (citrus smell). They also tested three homes with the highest limonene in their air for formaldehyde. What is the relationship between some household freshening products and formaldehyde? University research has shown that, when limonene in fragrance products breaks down, for every 2 molecules of limonene released in the air 1 molecule of formaldehyde is formed. The homes in the program with higher levels of limonene also had higher levels of
English Ivy © @linuxlibrarian formaldehyde. Does formaldehyde cause cancer? Since 2011 formaldehyde has been classed as a known human carcinogen by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Toxicology Programme. Formaldehyde has other effects too. According to cancer.gov “when formaldehyde is present in the air at levels exceeding 0.1 ppm, some individuals may experience adverse effects such as watery eyes; burning sensations in the eyes, nose, and throat; coughing; wheezing; nausea; and skin irritation”. How to reduce your exposure to formaldehyde in the home 1. Keep your home well ventilated. 2. Reduce your use of products containing limonene and formaldehyde. 3. Place plants that absorb VOCs and free-radicals around your home. Half Auro way through the BBC’s experiment Airfresh they gave houseplants to each of Wall Paint the families. When they took new air

samples they found that, even though they were still cleaning, spraying and lighting scented candles as usual, the amount of formaldehyde in their homes had decreased. Plants the BBC used in the experiment included spider plants and ivy! 4. Paint rooms with paints that neutralise formaldehyde. AURO 328 Airfresh paint reduces indoor odours and pollutants including formaldehyde. This paint has a special combination of raw materials that, using sunlight (or artificial light), break down odours and pollutants into neutral substances. Scientific tests on the product found that over 90% of formaldehyde is broken down within the 1 hour of exposure to the paint! This paint is available from Celtic Sustainables in white (great for ceilings!) and can be tinted with Auro colours.

Education
‘I’ll Do It In A Minute!’
Aspiring to your future can help tame the beast of motivation
As a young person studying for your GCSEs, A-Levels, or even your degree, ‘motivation’ can become a dirty word. It’s the word used by adults and teacher, delivered in hushed tones and serious conversations during exam season; not having motivation makes you feel like you’re out of the club. It becomes an elusive destiny, one at which you promise and assure everyone you will arrive when the next repeated episode of ‘Friends’ has finished or when you finish tidying your bedroom. WORDS The Pembs Tutor IMAGES © Image courtesy of Stockimages at FreeDigitalPhotos.net
I
T is truly amazing what we will find to occupy our time when the fear of getting motivated rears its demanding head. But here’s the thing; motivation is what we use before we truly value the need or joy of something. Things we love or see the worth in engaging with require very little or no motivation. In Latin, it’s referred
to as ‘Res Ipsa Loquitur’ – The thing that speaks for itself. We do it because we love it and it loves us back. Motivation is purely subjective; it belongs to us only and is found at the heart of things that mean something to the individual. At times, having someone else tell us to feel motivated can feel pointless. You have to feel the reasons and see the benefits for yourself, regardless of others’ demands and advice. Motivation comes from within, not from the aspirations and wishes of others. Where do you want to be? That’s the question. Sitting there, now, the world at your feet (and it still is, by the way, don’t let the newspapers convince you otherwise) in which direction do you wish your life to go? You want it to be great right? Of course! Once you decide where you want to be, take time to research the path and challenges faced by others who have arrived at the destinations – both career-wise and academic – that you want to get to. Find out what they have overcome and try to understand that where you are now is just
the first of several rounds of work you’ll complete to demonstrate that you have what it takes to be what you want to be. Exams aren’t a final destination; they are the beginning of an exciting time where you will go out there and get what you want. No one else can grab it for you. If doesn’t motivate you, I can’t promise that Joey and Chandler will either. The Pembs Tutor ‘I am a Pembrokeshire-based mobile tutor of English and History, both of which I teach to A-Level.
