0:21:52 > 0:21:54- Often, I turn it upside down!

0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Really, you get used to it.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02- I have to admit, my handwriting - isn't exactly neat.

0:22:02 > 0:22:06- If I can read my own writing, I can - probably read a doctor's writing!

0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Visiting Llyn - has been quite an experience.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Take Gwyneth's shop, for example.

0:22:25 > 0:22:29- ..she'll order it for you - by the end of the week.
