Almost certainly. I only use it a couple of times a year.
As I sleep badly the first couple of nights in a new bed I tend to be up and
dressed very early, and always waiting for the nice hot cup of tea to be
delivered to the cabin door...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
