Do you have any local swimming spots you can utilise for dipping/swimming? | ||

old age traveller Member 332, 7866 posts | I hope it all works out well for you, I can't imagine being able to train and fend off the Boy's terrorist tactics at the same time. Maybe Emma would like a turn in the bin. | ||
