  • Sarah Moyle fabulous

    Another gorgeous podcast. Love listening to you both.❤️

    1 complaint though, Sarah you are going to be at The Queens Theatre! Why now when I have moved out of the area! Or is that why😂😂

    As for the keyboard warrior nasties, they are just jealous. Sarah Moyle you/ Valerie are beautiful and your joy and happiness radiates out to everyone.x
