I was at an activity today with colleagues from the company and it was great. Both Lola and Sunny treated us phenomenally, paying attention to every detail and explaining everything that was needed. Lola is a lovely person. We were able to cook, laugh, chat and, of course, eat and drink. Highly recommended.
