Oh, I thought I'd have a break this morning.
And I thought I'd come and have a little break in sunny Pontypool.
So I'm going to go to the sofa.
We've got some sort of ice skating rink over here today.
I don't know whether it's inside or North Shore.
We'll have to have a look.
We've been a bit busy we have to have a good look at it.
But they've got their stalls up again.
There's almost plenty of stall holders about this morning.
With their Christmas face.
Should we do a little live?
Do a live, I will.
They're lovely, aren't they?
So not everybody have set up, but we do a little live for people, isn't it?
It's a nice day today now in Pontypool.
Once the sun comes out.
Other people still alright?
Other people still setting up?
What's this?
Looks bright in California.
What's all this about?
Oh, Hockaduck, is it?
Sorry.
Hockaduck.
Oh, I think the rivers a bit icy.
Be easy to catch them today.
Oh, here's the ice skating rink.
Oh, lovely.
Oh, I walk down here now.
I can't get in my shop.
It's full.
There's a vape chemist.
Looks good, doesn't it?
Now that's a charity over there, that thing.
I still haven't had a chance to research it.
A gym.
Oh, this is the...
I don't know what happens here then.
What do they do?
Do they put ice on as the moon goes on top of that?
I've never been ice skating so I wouldn't know how it works.
I'd need one of those polar bears.
If I went.
Oh, let's have a look.
They always do it nice down here, don't they?
No, I don't.
I'm not.
Oh, they're nice, aren't they?
Those little cat pictures and all.
And the dog.
Oh, look at the toilet roll order.
Oh, I love that.
That's fab, isn't it?
That toilet roll order.
I said I've just got to get your toilet rolls out.
I said, oh, what?
Oh, heck.
Oh, heck, anything we can do for you.
Oh, it looks fab.
Yeah.
I thought I'd do a live before we go on.
We're from the baby bank.
I said we're from the baby bank.
So I thought I'd do a live.
Ah, right.
And get everybody setting up and all their lovely stuff.
Yeah, and then share it all.
Well, I think we always do well when we've got something going on in town.
So, give it back, isn't it?
Oh, it's the Essence Vault, I think, isn't it?
Is it the Essence Vault perfume?
Is this the Essence Vault perfume or not?
No, this is FM, which is better.
Oh, yes, one of our volunteers was doing FM.
Does the make-up go with it as well, then?
Yeah, it's all FM.
Oh, I've seen this before.
Oh, that's nice, isn't it?
You want to try?
You let me help you.
I will, I might come down after.
Any excuse not to go and tidy up my shop, that's what it is.
That's what it is this morning.
Lovely.
Oh, look, they're nice, aren't they?
The wreaths.
I like the ones that stand up.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, look at that.
For spring now, when spring comes.
This one.
I had a lovely wreath.
Take the card, please.
I'm doing you live.
Don't worry, I go live.
Sorry, I was going to say...
No, no, no, we'll put it on.
They're lovely, aren't they?
Fair play.
Really nice.
And the tree.
We've got a tree like that in black.
Oh, we didn't put baubles on it, we put jewellery.
Let's have a look.
What's by here?
What, jewellery?
Alright, guys.
Oh, look at them, sparkling away over there.
I'll try and get the cards.
They know their signs as well, guys.
And then you can see what's going on here today.
Knitting.
Oh, they got it.
Get any small tote bag half price when you buy ten pound.
That's good, isn't it?
What's that, a baked potato van?
Oh, might have to have a baked potato.
I love index.
Let's have a look in here.
Look at these.
Oh, I like the dear one over there.
Oh, and the robin one.
Every time I see birds, it reminds me of my grandfather.
He used to like birds.
And...
Oh, and they're nice, aren't they?
I wonder what they've got inside, then.
Do you reckon there's cars waiting for me to shift?
There could be, I'm wondering.
And there's a store-holder waiting to come in.
Oh, look at the gingerbread.
Oh, and the gonk.
Wait, we've soldered a gonk, same black wood.
I think he was waiting for me.
Right in the way, then.
I love these.
I see these every day.
Don't let me buy anything for Christmas, guys.
I've got loads.
Nice, isn't it?
Bangkok, isn't it?
I'll have a look now.
Let me put my bag down.
My survival bag for today.
In the shop.
I'll show you how fun...
Oh, they're nice little clothes.
Nice designs.
And then I'll go and do a live, is it?
In the indoor market.
I always feel like I'm having a break when I come over to Pontypool.
It won't be when I get in the shop because I know I dumped about three carloads by the door last night.
And there's bags outside again.
I don't know.
What are they doing now with this ice cream?
How do they get the ice from it then?
Oh, is that it?
I don't know.
It can't be it, shall we?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I've never really been into ice skating because I probably couldn't do it.
There's no coordination today.
What's going to be in the air, do you reckon?
I wonder if
if if they go into how many food stalls are there?
You should have the best food stalls all over here.
Oh, here we go.
Here we go.
How many donations have we got outside?
Take a guess.
Three bags, I reckon.
Nope.
Perfect.
Well done, people.
Look.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
And I've got a sweet on my doorstep.
I've got to get up.
I've stood on it last night.
It's really sticky.
Come on, Key.
Come on, Key.
Don't let me down now.
Yeah.
Slight bit of work to do today.
Slight bit of work to do before you can even get into Pondypool today.
There we are.
Right.
So we're going to do our free fest.
Carl's in today.
And then we'll be there tomorrow.
And I think we're going to call it a day.
Because we've got a lot to do with our new shop.
I've got another landlord that's contacted me in Brim Mountain, or Ebbw Vale, sorry, I think.
A nice little shop.
And it's been empty for a while.
And he's broken the rent down quite a bit and offered us a deal.
So I might go back with a come to deal.
It's a little shop.
Let's have a look at what's going on in here today, is it?
Come to do something in here today, isn't it?
Everything will be set up today.
All for the guide dogs back.
