To Diet For

Today has been lovely. The weather wasn't brilliant, but the people it brought to us were fabulous. We haven't been too busy, but neither were we too quiet, so it's been an easy-going sort of a day. Among the lovely people were a couple from the Isle of Wight. They first came in June apparently and had our Afternoon Tea special. Today they approached the counter with confidence. They didn't ask if they could have coffee instead of tea with the AT deal, they KNEW they could. What's more, en route from North Wales to Somerset, they had made a radical detour to come again. I forced them to write in the Visitors' Book.
Two other nice comments today:
"The ploughmans was spot-on"
and
"Scones to die for".
Let's hope Saturday hasn't swallowed up all the lovely people and that some have been left for Sunday.

Something else I learned today. A dog that looks like a red setter and isn't is probably a flat coated retriever (I won't make that mistake again).
It's the breed that won Crufts you know.

WI speech still needs lots of work.
