Posted on Fri, 31 Jan 2025

You describe searching in the industrial estate really well! Perhaps Spencer could busk for money? Oh! Could breakdancing or something be one of his updates? Nordic walkers is a brilliant idea - just when he thought he was getting to grips with...

You are doing a brilliant job
