May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Leaked news from one of the Oz fans of THIS! SM confirmed (it would seem) for A Day On The Green at the Rochford Wines estate in Victoria for November, 2020. So, it would seem I might be spending my 50th birthday down there? Or at least travelling down there shortly after the big FIVE-O….
