This isn’t my first trip to the royal mail but the last round was to the restaurant. This round, we went upclose and personal with the bar side!

In fact, they tried to drag couple of us to sing together with them. This pic just scream Bliss! Enjoying one of the their two signature drinks: Timeless English & old fashioned spice.
