A Year (Not) to be remembered Lyrics by John Vickery © I was born, bred and buttered in Bristol, And I have lived there all my life. I settled down, in Bedminster, And got married to Vera, my wife. 2020, I wish I .png
“I have found in my life, that if you want to do something, and you’re able to, nothing is impossible. Unless you keep saying you can’t, because you can, regardless of age and ability”
