Bewdy Kate. We salute you.
Kate read all these comments last night and had a big smile. Then she said: “But I don’t know these people?” (Except you Phil G and JTH!)
So I said “No but they know you! You’re famous!”
It made her day. Thanks everyone for making my little girl’s day.
Love your work Kate! RDL
This is great news to wake up to in Malta!
Well played, Kate.
Well done Kate!
Swimming always made me feel a tad nervous. Early mornings for squad training were challenging .
I didn’t last.
You have..
