Ask a silly question.

A weird day. It promised to be busy but then suddenly stopped. The afternoon was rescued by a flurry at 3.30 when a horticultural group finished its tour of the Court gardens. Most wanted tea. One of their number tried our new gluten free cake - orange, carrot and sultana. She said she'd certainly be back for more. It's great to be able to offer a choice now to those avoiding wheat. I can't wait til Novak Djokovic next comes in.
When we take orders we always ask where they're planning to sit and then write a note on the order - main, conservatory or o/s for outside - so that we know where to deliver it. One day last week I asked a lady where she'd like her tea. She threw the question to the little girl at her side:
Where would you like to sit? she asked her.
"Next to grandad," she said.
So that's what I wrote.
