"Good morning,
I would just like to send my thanks to Mike and Clare for looking after us all so well on our recent break to Newcastle (The Great North East). I think everyone had a really enjoyable few days in that beautiful part of the country, enhanced by Mike’s personal knowledge of the area of his birth. With Clare’s calm manner, extensive knowledge of her subject and her quiet efficiency in serving drinks on a moving coach, they are an impressive team.
With my best wishes to everyone at Middletons
Linda Perry"
