00:00I mean, one of the things that I love from doing this is that when you are a fluent and capable reader,

00:09it's very difficult to put yourself into the situation where you imagine what that would be like if that was taken away from you.

00:16And working with David has really helped me to understand that process.

00:21I'd just like to commend David for his hard work and his diligence.

00:26He's been coming in on a bike, how many miles is it roughly?

00:32That's six.

00:33That's six miles. So we've done 55 sessions and he started, I think, during the winter.

00:42And you can imagine what kind of winter we've had.

00:45He's now got an electric bike, so he now gets it early.

00:50I used to be able to go into the library, put my feet up, choose a book and wait for David.

00:56Because obviously, depending on weather conditions, if you're cycling up a hill and a gale force wind's coming, you don't go so fast.

01:03Now he's got an electric bike, he gets there before I do.

01:07But his diligence and the amount of effort he's put into it has been absolutely fantastic.

01:15Learning for me, because I've never done this, I was a teacher, but I've never kind of taught in that detail way before.

01:23But I just want to say, well done David, and you thoroughly deserve all the credit.
