Fancy some winter sunshine in January?

As you know, I have a bit of a Cruise Ship carpet fettish, sad but alas true. Anyway, if I was looking for gawdy and outlandish on my Minerva visit yesterday I was to be disappointed because in keeping with the rest of the ship the carpets were classy and of an excellent quality. The […]
