“Excellent afternoon out”
Afternoon tea on a riverboat! Can’t beat it. The scones were the best I’ve ever had, the chocolate tiffin was to die for, the skipper was lovely; so friendly, telling us about the area as we went down the Thames. What a wonderful way to spend a sunny afternoon. Excellent, just excellent!
