Uh but it's my personal tribute to her.

So I'd love to read more poetry while I'm on the island.

I'd like to take some poems by Simon Armitage.

who I love.

The only problem is that Simon Armitage only produces very small books of poetry and I'm a little bit worried about this.

So we got in touch with his team and asked if he would contribute a boxed set of his collected works.

Well he said that it would be specifically designed both waterproof and termite resistant.

So I'm hoping Lauren you'll give me that.

Thank you.

I love playing sport, cricket and tennis in particular.

So I'd like a bowling machine, obviously solar powered, with about a hundred balls, fifty tennis balls, fifty cricket balls.

Yes, because when I hit them I have to go and get them and put them back in the bowling machine.

So that will keep me active, keep me moving.

Okay.

I think my skills will just about get to making some kind of bat or racket.

So that's why I'd be happy with a hundred or so.

If you give me two hundred that'd be even better.

It uh has to be sunshine on Eath by the proclaimers.

Thank you so much, Lauren.
