0:00:41 > 0:00:44- ..to wait at tables, - discover treasures...
0:00:44 > 0:00:48- ..prepare food - and care for animals.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52- Their challenge - was to use nothing but Welsh...
0:00:52 > 0:00:57- ..and understand different accents - for two days at busy workplaces.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- Welcome to Profiad Gwaith.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25- I've been learning Welsh - for four years now.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- It's been a great journey, really.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- I decided to learn the language...
0:01:32 > 0:01:36- ..so that I could feel - like a proper Welshman.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- The Swansea area - is an arid area for the language.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48- Welsh speakers in Swansea and the - Gower are some 4% of the population.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52- I don't get many opportunities - to use the language.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- I'm glad to come to Llandeilo - and to be in an area...
0:01:58 > 0:02:03- ..where I can use my Welsh first, - before English.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09- I think I'll be doing - lots of different things.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- Arranging flowers, - making deliveries...
0:02:12 > 0:02:16- ..talking to customers - and answering the phone.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- I'm looking forward - to the process...
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- ..and to enjoying - my two days, really.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- But where will Neil be working?
0:02:26 > 0:02:32- My name's Nia and I own Pinc, - the flower shop in Llandeilo.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- I offer a floral service - for everyone locally...
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- ..and further afield.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42- We specialize in wedding flowers, - we serve the funeral industry...
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- ..and we also arrange flowers - for local hotels and pubs...
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- ..coffee shops and some hair salons.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- The shop opened in 2005.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- By now, we're in the unit - next to Heavenly...
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- ..which sells chocolate - and ice cream.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Both shops complement each other.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Welsh is very important - in this area.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- There are two Welsh-medium schools - in the area.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- I'd like everyone who works in - the shop to be able to speak Welsh.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- It's very important.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- A lot of people - have moved into the area.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Fair play, - we have a lot of learners.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- When they come in, - we always greet them in Welsh...
0:03:30 > 0:03:35- ..to show that we speak Welsh - and that we're here to help them.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- Hello, Nia. I'm Neil - and I'm here to do work experience.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42- Welcome to Pinc, Neil.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Welcome to Pinc, Neil.- - Thank you very much.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Have you worked with flowers before?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Have you worked with flowers before?- - No, never.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- Have you bought flowers before?
0:03:51 > 0:03:52- Have you bought flowers before?- - I have, yes.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- But I haven't arranged flowers.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- We'll have two happy days together.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- We'll have two happy days together.- - Definitely. Thank you.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- Today, we're preparing a vase - for the Cawdor Hotel.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- They expect a fresh vase of flowers - from us every week.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12- Lovely.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- The theme varies every week.
0:04:15 > 0:04:21- But I know that the manageress - has her favourite colours.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- The best way to start - is to measure the top of the vase.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- Bring it back to the edge - and measure.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Cut where you think it's important.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Don't cut the stems too short, OK?
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- We can always cut them again - if they're too long!
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- I'll cut this here.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Cut straight?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- No, at an angle.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- That lets the stem - draw up more water...
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- ..because the surface area - is bigger.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56- Watch your fingers.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- OK, and take the leaves - off here, and maybe...
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Yes, remove most of the leaves.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Great. And put them in.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09- Oops, sorry.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10- Oops, sorry.- - That's fine.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- And put them against the back.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- I enjoyed it very much.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- I didn't really know the principles - behind flower arranging.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- It was nice to learn them.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- In future, I'm sure I'll be able - to arrange flowers myself.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- If I buy flowers for my mother - or for Christmas...
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- ..I can arrange them myself.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- ..I can arrange them myself.- - Right, very good.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36- So far, so good.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Right, thank you.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- Have you noticed - that we have three hydrangeas?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43- Three hydrangeas.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45- And three blooms.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46- And three blooms.- - Three blooms, OK.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Not four, and not two.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- Oh, right. So, odd numbers?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- Yes, it's important.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Yes, it's important.- - Why?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- It's a biblical thing, originally.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- The Father, the Son - and the Holy Ghost...
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- ..or the five saints.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- But numbers - like three, five and seven...
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- ..give you a better arrangement - at the end.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- I could never have imagined that.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- He's a very pleasant person.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- He's talkative - and asks plenty of questions.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- He's obviously keen to learn.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- That's a very good thing - for work experience.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- It's difficult sometimes - to transfer a skill to someone else.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- But Neil has that interest - and he wants to do his best.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- I'm very happy, - at the moment, anyway!
0:06:38 > 0:06:39- Well done, Neil.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40- Measure and cut.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Measure and cut.- - You can come to work here!
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- How did you start - to be able to do this job so well?
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- I started when I was about 13, - as a YFC member.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54- Right, OK.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- Every year, - they hold a competition.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01- The Carmarthenshire rally.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Every year, - I was chosen to do the flowers.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- That's how I started.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- But my mother - was also interested in it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11- I opened a flower shop.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- It's sad, thinking about it.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17- I lost my parents, - and it made me think.
0:07:17 > 0:07:23- Their deaths made me think - how short life is.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- I decided to go for it and opened - a flower shop twelve years ago.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Well done. Ten out of ten.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31- Special.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Next, Neil spends time - at the reception desk.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- It's another important part - of running a flower shop.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40- I'm Catrin.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Hello, Catrin. I'm Neil.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- I'm Nia's daughter.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- I'm responsible for the reception.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Welcoming customers, - answering the phone...
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- ..pricing the flowers and so on.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- I'll show you - how we price the flowers first.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- We get a slip - from the flower wholesaler.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- We put those prices on cards - and attach them to all the flowers.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- You might get to know - some of the flowers this way.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- Do you know most of the customers?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Are they regulars?
0:08:16 > 0:08:21- Local people, although we do get - phone calls from further afield.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- They've seen our website - or seen us on Facebook or Instagram.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30- Some we don't know, but we know most - of those who come into the shop...
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- ..because the business has been - going in Llandeilo for a while now.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Cassa lily.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40- Sorry, c-a-s...
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Sorry, c-a-s...- - S-a. Double s.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44- Double s.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- They're 5.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Sorry, 1?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49- Sorry, 1?- - No, 5.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- Mam wouldn't be happy - if we sold them for a pound!
0:08:53 > 0:08:57- Yes, it's important to know - the difference between 1 and 5...
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- ..as Neil runs the shop for a while.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02- Hello, how are you?

0:09:21 > 0:09:25- What kind of flowers - do you usually buy?
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- Do you order a set bouquet?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Or do Nia and Catrin - choose on your behalf?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35- I usually tell them the colours.
0:09:36 > 0:09:42- The seasonal colours in the shop - are yellow and mustard.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- I'd like those colours - in the bouquet.
0:09:47 > 0:09:53- OK, with a little white and green - to bring the yellow out, perhaps.

0:10:29 > 0:10:33- Do you want us - to bring the flowers to you?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Or will you collect them yourself?

0:16:39 > 0:16:41- We order online.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- So, you choose all the flowers.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- We try to create - a story out of flowers.
0:16:46 > 0:16:51- As you can see, today, we've chosen - orange and green flowers.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- It's now late October.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Is it difficult...
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- ..to choose the flowers - that you hope to sell?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- You try to order flowers...
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- ..so that those who've placed orders - with you get what they want.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- You also want to buy flowers - that are seasonal.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- And you also want to buy flowers - that are different.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- You have to choose - from three different classes.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- It takes years of experience...
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- ..to get it right.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Right, Neil.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- Now I want you to prepare - the flowers for Rig Out.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Caryl came in yesterday.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- She's changing her window, - and you took the order.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- She wants green and yellow...
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- ..and we'll add a touch - of orange too, as it's seasonal.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- We'll also use poppy seed heads, - which signify the onset of autumn.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- What colour will these become?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- What colour will these become?- - They stay like that.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00- They don't open.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- They have bloomed - and have closed.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04- Oh, right.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- I'm the kind of person - who learns by doing things.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- Nia told me how to arrange - the flowers yesterday.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- By doing it, I can see how it works.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Well done. You're getting into it.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- Throwing leaves on the floor - is the mark of a professional.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- The only thing - with something like that...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- ..is making sure - there are no leaves in the water.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- He was turning the vase - and looking at his work.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42- He also knew the flowers' names, - so he's making excellent progress.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- We have one more.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- I'd look at that again - and ask if it's good enough.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- It's...
0:18:50 > 0:18:51- No?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- This is another thing to learn.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Remove the petals and leaves.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58- Oh!
0:19:00 > 0:19:01- Then put it in like that.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- It creates interest.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- That is interesting.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14- It's been great to do it in Welsh, - talking to Nia all morning.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- I've also picked up - some Carmarthenshire dialect.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20- "Odi, odi."
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- Instead of saying "Ydw" or "Ydy" - or "Ydyn", they say, "Odi, odi."
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- I can take that into class...
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- ..and forget about - the different types of yes.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37- "Odi, odi" suits everything!
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- I'm sure Caryl will be delighted.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41- I'm sure as well.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43- Thank you, Nia. It's been nice.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Rust and yellow.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- It'll be in the window later.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- So, you're going - to change the clothes...
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- ..to reflect the flowers.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12- Yes, that's right.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- They're the fashionable colours - for the winter.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- They're great, and they'll be - in the window this afternoon.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- I hope they help you - to sell more clothes.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29- I hope so. Thank you.- - Another happy customer.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- Of course, flowers are suitable - for all kinds of occasions...

0:20:36 > 0:20:37- Did she pay you?
0:20:37 > 0:20:38- Did she pay you?- - Sorry?
0:20:38 > 0:20:39- "Dalodd hi?"
0:20:39 > 0:20:40- "Dalodd hi?"- - Did she pay you?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Oh, not yet.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- I'll go back.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45- Go back to see her.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- We can't give people free flowers.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- We can't give people free flowers.- - No, business doesn't work like that.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- But thanks for taking them over.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53- But thanks for taking them over.- - No problem.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- As you know, - we have a funeral today.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- We have to finish this wreath - for the coffin.
0:21:00 > 0:21:06- On every bouquet that goes out, - the oasis must be concealed.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Can you finish this off for me?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- If you can see the oasis at all...
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- ..cut some lisianthus - and fill in the gaps for me.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18- Yes, OK.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- One flower...
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Cut them quite short, yes.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30- The shorter the flower, - the more of the oasis you cover.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- There are some gaps in the back.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40- Well done.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46- So, funerals must be - a part of your core business.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Unfortunately, yes, they are.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- That's one certainty, - we all have to die.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- A display like this - really helps people.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- It creates beauty - in a difficult situation.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- It's the final gift - that people give.

0:29:49 > 0:29:55- It wasn't really an option - for me not to learn Welsh.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00- Our eldest child - is almost 13 years old...
0:30:01 > 0:30:07- ..so I decided about ten years ago - that I had to try to learn Welsh.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- The time came when we decided - to stop speaking English at home...
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- ..and make Welsh - the language of our home.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17- How did you do that?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Do you have any tips for learners?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- You are the person - who has to give that push.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- Everyone else in my wife's family - speaks Welsh.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- I asked them not to turn to English - when we had Sunday lunch together...
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- ..but to carry on speaking Welsh.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- Everyone accepted that. - It wasn't a problem.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- If you don't give people a chance - to do that, it won't happen.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- You, as a learner, must give them - permission to carry on in Welsh.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Was Learner Of The Year - a good experience?
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- Yes, and it was a chance to show - I'd reached a certain level.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- That I was confident enough - to speak Welsh in public.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- It's like a public declaration.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03- I'm learning Welsh.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05- Speak Welsh to me.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10- People came up to me and said they - had no idea I was learning Welsh.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- People I've known for 15 years.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- That was the biggest step of all.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- Tell me about your work.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- You were at the BBC for years.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- Yes, I used to be a journalist.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57- ..with their clients, - with their staff...
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- ..and with the government.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05- Does the ability to speak different - languages help you in your work?
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- It helps to speak Welsh - because we're a bilingual company.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- We help businesses - and organizations...
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- ..to improve their Welsh.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- Thank you for the chat.

0:32:22 > 0:32:26- Some other people in the house - say you can't see their room...
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- ..but I might let you!

0:36:33 > 0:36:37- We started - by preparing the vegetables.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43- Are Indian food - and Punjabi food the same?
0:36:44 > 0:36:49- If you dine - in restaurants in Britain...
0:36:50 > 0:36:55- ..the majority of the dishes you eat - are Punjabi.

0:36:59 > 0:37:02- Take a masala, for example.

0:37:10 > 0:37:12- Punjabis, in other words.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17- When I cook a curry, I always start - with onions, garlic and ginger.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- That's the base for any curry.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- I remember being in the kitchen - when I was a child...
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- ..with my mother - and my grandmother...
0:37:32 > 0:37:38- ..helping out with chopping onions - or crushing chillies and ginger.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42- I learnt by watching them.
0:37:42 > 0:37:47- The smell I remember from back then - is onions, garlic and ginger...
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- ..cooking with a bit of chilli.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57- With the first step complete, Ashok - added vegetables and cooked them.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Meanwhile, some hungry mouths - were waiting to be fed.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32- ..which we were brought up with - since we were little.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- We reply to Papa's Punjabi in Welsh.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- He answers us in Welsh or Punjabi.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- Teach me something simple - in Punjabi.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- If you want to say 'my name is'...
0:38:49 > 0:38:54- ..you say 'merra nam hai'...
0:38:54 > 0:38:55- ..then your name.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Merra nam hai Nia.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59- How do you do?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- Merra nam hai Nia.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17- Manon, while Ashok - makes more chapatis...
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- ..tell me the story of how you met.
0:39:20 > 0:39:21- Love at first sight?
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- Love at first sight?- - No. Definitely not!
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- We worked together - in the BBC newsroom for years.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- We were both journalists.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- We were friends for a long time.
0:39:33 > 0:39:38- I went to work in London for - a few years and Ashok worked here.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- We didn't work in the same city - until after we got married.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- He caught the train to London - every Sunday night...
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- ..for the first year - of our marriage.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- What about your wedding?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- What about your wedding?- - We had two wedding ceremonies.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- The first - was a traditional Welsh ceremony...
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- ..but with a strong Indian flavour.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- It was held in my chapel - in Aberystwyth.
0:40:03 > 0:40:08- There were chillies on the windows - in the flower arrangements.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12- We included quite a few readings - in the service.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15- At some point - during the wedding breakfast...
0:40:16 > 0:40:21- ..all the aunties on Ashok's side - took over and they started to dance.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25- They made their own music - and started to sing.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29- We had a jazz band, but they decided - to ignore it for a while!
0:40:30 > 0:40:34- We ended up with half an hour - of jazz and half an hour of Bhangra.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38- It was a mixture of both - and it was fantastic fun.
0:40:38 > 0:40:44- It was a blend of everything but it - was really colourful and wonderful.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- Two wedding days? Perfect!
0:40:47 > 0:40:49- Two wedding days? Perfect!- - Two outfits, mind you.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51- Obviously!
0:40:54 > 0:40:58- Full to bursting with tasty food, - we went for a walk in the park.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- We're walking - through Pontcanna Fields...
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- ..which are very close to your home.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06- Yes - just down the hill.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09- Do you come here often?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11- Yes, we're here every weekend.
0:41:13 > 0:41:18- The boys play rugby - - one over there and one over here.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23- They play for different clubs, - so there's competition in the house.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- They're arch-rivals!
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- Do you think Cardiff is a nice city?
0:41:32 > 0:41:37- Yes, and that's one of the reasons - we're bringing up our children here.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41- It's a perfect city for families - and also great for young people.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- I first came to Cardiff - to study at the university.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- It's a brilliant city for students.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49- There's plenty to do...
0:41:50 > 0:41:54- ..and plenty of places to go out - without having to travel far.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58- I didn't have a car when I was - a student, so I walked everywhere.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00- It's big enough...
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- ..but it's also small enough - to have a community feel.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08- Yes, and since my student days - I've crossed the bridge...
0:42:09 > 0:42:11- ..from east to west Cardiff.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- When you live and work in Cardiff...
0:42:17 > 0:42:21- ..you see the city - in a totally different light...
0:42:21 > 0:42:23- ..from your student days.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- It's nice to have a cuppa - after our walk.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- Ashok, tell me - about your original home.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37- Wolverhampton.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43- Like many who came to Britain, - we all lived in one house.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45- That was how it was.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50- Then my parents, - us as a family, moved out.
0:42:50 > 0:42:55- We lived around the corner - from my grandparents' house.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56- Were you a large family?
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- Were you a large family?- - I have two brothers and one sister.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03- Do your parents - still live in Wolverhampton?
0:43:04 > 0:43:09- Yes, but they spend half their time - in Wolverhampton and half in Punjab.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12- Tell me about life out there.
0:43:12 > 0:43:14- Do you visit regularly?
0:43:14 > 0:43:16- Do you visit regularly?- - Yes, we go every other year.
0:43:16 > 0:43:20- That's how it's been - since we've had children.
0:43:20 > 0:43:25- It's a bit strange - because I left when I was three...
0:43:26 > 0:43:29- ..and I didn't go back - until I was something like 27.
0:43:29 > 0:43:32- But since then, I went every year...
0:43:33 > 0:43:37- ..then every other year - with the children.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39- That's what we aim for.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42- Would you ever go back - to live in India?
0:43:43 > 0:43:44- Do you feel drawn there?
0:43:45 > 0:43:47- Do you feel it's your home...
0:43:48 > 0:43:50- ..or is this your home?
0:43:50 > 0:43:54- I have different elements of 'home' - in different places...
0:43:55 > 0:43:57- ..but Cardiff is my home.
0:44:11 > 0:44:16- Ashok, tell me what three things - you'd save from a fire.
0:44:17 > 0:44:19- The first item is in the corner.
0:44:20 > 0:44:23- It's an old record player.
0:44:23 > 0:44:26- It's a HMV model from the 1920s.
0:44:27 > 0:44:31- I like it because - it plays my old jazz 78s.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34- I'm always on the lookout - for more 78s...
0:44:34 > 0:44:37- ..but it plays the ones - I do have perfectly.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46- Has it been in your family - since the 1920s?
0:44:47 > 0:44:51- Well, it was a present - from a family member.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53- He found it on eBay - and gave it to me!
0:44:54 > 0:44:56- What's the second thing?
0:44:56 > 0:44:59- It's a bit big and it's upstairs.
0:44:59 > 0:45:00- Come upstairs to see it.
0:45:00 > 0:45:01- Come upstairs to see it.- - No problem.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07- This is my gentleman's compendium.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10- This is my gentleman's compendium.- - A wardrobe designed for men?
0:45:11 > 0:45:15- The idea of the compendium - dates back to Victorian times...
0:45:15 > 0:45:20- ..but this is Edwardian, - which is the same era as the house.
0:45:20 > 0:45:21- It fits in.
0:45:21 > 0:45:24- Can I take a peek inside?
0:45:24 > 0:45:26- Yes, if you like.
0:45:27 > 0:45:29- Hey! A hanging rail for suits.
0:45:30 > 0:45:31- The shoe section.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33- The shoe section.- - Yes, plus my sports kit.
0:45:33 > 0:45:37- A modern gentleman's compendium - includes a gym kit!
0:45:37 > 0:45:42- These are the drawers - and this is the part I really like.
0:45:42 > 0:45:46- It's like being - in an old clothes shop.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48- The drawers pull out.
0:45:49 > 0:45:54- Even the ones made later - than this period have four drawers.
0:45:54 > 0:45:58- It's a lovely compendium.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03- Good luck carrying that out!
0:46:03 > 0:46:06- Good luck carrying that out!- - It was carried in here, in sections.
0:46:07 > 0:46:10- I could get it out, - depending where the fire is!
0:46:10 > 0:46:12- My third item is down here.
0:46:17 > 0:46:18- That's nice.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22- Ashok and Manon's wedding, - 2 September 2000.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24- Was it a present?
0:46:24 > 0:46:29- Yes, from the artist Bethan Clwyd, - who is one of Manon's best friends.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32- She created it after the wedding.
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- She took inspiration - from our wedding day.
0:46:35 > 0:46:41- Manon's dress was a combination - of a Punjabi bridal lehnga...
0:46:42 > 0:46:47- ..and a Welsh wedding dress, - in a gold colour.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50- Manon didn't like it, - but we wore blue shirts.
