On a plate

"We heard your advert on the BBC" they said. They were Shropshire folk, from Telford, and they didn't tune in til after the riff-raff comment. Phew. We were promised rain and not much fell (it's coming down now) so there were plenty of people sitting outside. I spent most of the afternoon with my hands in a washing up bowl which, strangely, made a pleasant change.

Two more coach parties booked in today for later in the year.
Tomorrow morning we're expecting a coachload from Ashby de la Zouche and in the afternoon we have to give tea and cake to a young choir and fifty others. One of the choir can't eat dairy produce. At this stage all I have to offer him is jelly.
