Laura says, “Doesn’t matter, coz I won’t get anywhere…” Well, a Credit turns up in the name of Lauria Heydon!  Because her parents are so proud, we now insist on a name change by Deed Poll. And with the news below of the [...]

Saw on Facebook that Laura has found herself an American hubby. Am so looking forward to meeting him!! His name is Denard Robinson and he plays Number 16 (quarterback) for the Michigan Wolverines.
