Yesterday, I admit, I went into the virtual Escape Game feeling fed up and resentful. (...) what a beautiful tune – you transformed a requiem into a symphony, cheap wine into a grand cru. Well done! Well done and thank you. In a word, it was great. And I won't stop there! I was charmed, totally charmed…
