So are you
It’s South Wight Area Youth not South West.
I think most had forgotten about those two, no mention of their real names? Royal who
We live at Columbus House. We knew about the visit a fortnight ago. The royal visitors are going to plant two rose bushes, named Queen Elizabeth, in honour of HM Queen and meet some residents. They are not actually joining in celebration as we have not really started yet!
Bet they don’t show him Sandown
trying to justify their dole money payout, oops I mean allowance by coming here and being so damn patronising I bet. Just stay home with mummy and have some more cake.
So many sheep.
I thought the county show was always 2 days,was years ago anyway.
