OPEN DAY – On 20th September 2025. DIWRNOD AGORED
A really successful, enjoyable and informative open day (despite the challenging weather conditions). Here’s Carol on the reception doing a wonderful job and Stelios was in charge of hot water and even constructed a special water boiling apparatus especially for the Day. What a star!
Diwrnod agored llwyddiannus, pleserus ac addysgiadol iawn (er gwaethaf yr amodau tywydd heriol). Dyma Carol yn y dderbynfa yn gwneud gwaith gwych ac roedd Stelios yn gyfrifol am y dŵr poeth a hyd yn oed wedi adeiladu offer berwi dŵr arbennig yn arbennig ar gyfer y Diwrnod. Am seren!
Jade’s Aromatic water workshop was brilliant and well attended. By the end of the day she had made lemon balm aromatic waters using this copper boiler.
Roedd gweithdy dŵr aromatig Jade yn wych ac yn boblogaidd iawn. Erbyn diwedd y dydd roedd hi wedi gwneud dyfroedd aromatig balm lemwn gan ddefnyddio’r offer distyllu copr yma
There were a lot of takers for the crafts on offer over the day, and a good place to be with children in the rain. The whittling workshop, was enjoyed by people from 6 years upwards. Even though heavy rain persisted, people with young children turned up for the crafts and took part in a simple nature painting workshop. One of the workshops we had planned was unable to take place so Lia stepped in at the very last minute and made paper windmills and woollen pumpkins.
Cymeroedd llawer o bobl rhan yn y crefftau a gynigiwyd dros y dydd, ac roedd yn lle da i fod gyda phlant yn y glaw. Mwynhawyd y gweithdy naddu gan bobl o 6 oed i fyny. Er i law trwm barhau, daeth pobl â phlant ifanc i’r grefftau a chymryd rhan mewn gweithdy peintio natur syml. Nid oedd un o’r gweithdai yr oeddem wedi’u cynllunio yn gallu digwydd felly camodd Lia i mewn ar y funud olaf a gwneud melinau gwynt papur a phwmpenni gwlân.
Raph entranced her audience with the secrets of Jam making and preserving fruit. Sometimes people might think that these preserving processes are not for them and could be put off. It can help to see the kind of equipment needed and be talked through the processes. There’s nothing like having your own chutney, jam or fruit leathers in your store cupboard.
Swynodd Raph ei chynulleidfa gyda chyfrinachau gwneud jam a chadw ffrwythau. Weithiau gallai pobl feddwl nad yw’r prosesau cadw hyn ar eu cyfer nhw a’u bod nhw’n cael eu gohirio. Gall gweld y math o offer sydd ei angen a chael sgwrs am y prosesau helpu. Does dim byd tebyg i gael eich chutney, jam neu ledr ffrwythau eich hun yn eich cwpwrdd storio.
The Tour of the Garden with Claire was popular and went ahead despite the rain. It was dedicated and hardy folk who came along!
Roedd Taith yr Ardd gyda Claire yn boblogaidd ac aeth yn ei blaen er gwaethaf y glaw. Pobl ymroddedig a gwydn a ddaeth draw!
Extending the preserving theme into the area of drinks was very well received, particularly the spontaneous tasting that came at the end of the talk on home-made wines. We looked at many kinds of homemade wines using: dandelions, meadowsweet, apple, blackcurrant, elderberry and runner beans. It can save money and be a great way to use up produce.
Cafodd ymestyn y thema cadw i faes diodydd groeso mawr, yn enwedig y blasu digymell a ddaeth ar ddiwedd y sgwrs ar winoedd cartref. Edrychon ni ar gwahanol fathau o winoedd cartref wedi eu wneud gyda: dant y llew, erwain, afalau, cyrens duon, ysgaw a ffa dringo. Gall arbed arian a bod yn ffordd wych o ddefnyddio cynnyrch.
At the end of the day, our Roundhouse was converted into an off-grid cinema for a presentation by Ceredigion Animation Club.
Ar ddiwedd y dydd, cafodd ein Tŷ Crwn ei drawsnewid yn sinema oddi ar y grid ar gyfer cyflwyniad gan Glwb Animeiddio Ceredigion.
Big big thanks to all the wonderful volunteers who helped make the day such a success.
