That's the manchester show I recognise my skates. Well done Ellie Harrison

Well done Ellie ❀️

Saw it on Saturday and was informed and entertained in equal measure. 😁 A wee yin turned to his Mum at the end and said, “That was great!” πŸ‘ From the mouths of babes.. Well done! What’s next?

It's excellent and shows what can be done if you are creative like Ellie. Big thumbs up. πŸ‘

That’s very good coverage Ellie.

Da iawn ti. Well done you.

GOSH, YOU MUST BE SO PROUD OF HER, BERNARD ~ AS ANNE WOULD HAVE BEEN!
