Today had the feel of a Bank Holiday. People came all day and dragged all the outside tables into the shade. They ate an entire apple cake, victoria sponge, chocolate cake, one and a half coffee and walnut, one and a quarter toffee cakes, a carrot cake plus chocolate brownies, cherry and almond slices and trays full of scones. We almost ran out of cream. We did run out of granary bread, but only just before finishing lunches so it wasn't too awful. I got by on a wing and prayer with limited change. There's always someone with a pocketful of pound coins if you ask.
A very pleasant group of ten booked a table inside for lunch. They stayed for hours, mainly because when they asked for their bill I had a queue of people and couldn't get to the adding up.
We're now serving local raspberries and strawberries and cream (when we haven't run out) - in bone china tea cups and saucers. Am exceptionally proud of the way they look.
