  • Very interesting

    Having caught up on the whole of Rex Factor in two weeks I followed up one of their recommendations & here I am! This is going to take me longer because I have no pre knowledge about Icelandic Sagas but I’m having a great time learning in a fun way. Well done Andy & John from Carol in London.
