A coach load of us went on a cruise including a cream tea with Stuart lines, the cruise was just about average but the cream tea was great prepare by Sheila the office lady standing in to help she was a star, if the rest of the business had been as good it would have been 5 stars.
Thank you Sheila for rescuing our trip.
