He had his mother or grandmother with him, to boot. And many gold crowns (in his mouth).

It's a sadly dirty place, Newport, and especially so since the refuse collections were made fortnightly. It smells horrible whenever the sun comes out and so unsightly and depressing with wheelie bins overflowing outside the houses.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226718877451517265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15149698.post-14165804339959574042008-02-12T14:12:00.000+00:002008-02-12T14:12:00.000+00:00I dont think so Newport Gwent - near Cardiff.
