Terra Firma

What is it? Day 5 of the season? And several curved balls have been thrown already.
We've had the abnormally busy opening day, followed by the normally busy first weekend, then a bizarrely quiet Monday.
Today turned out to be what I would term a typical 2013 weekday. A fairly quiet start then a two hour period where almost every table was occupied and any socks we were wearing were worked off.
We ran out of soup and panini.
Towards the end of the busy time a young couple ordered High Tea and took the only available table in the conservatory.
They'd come to talk to me about their wedding in July 2015.
Yes 2015.
Just saying 2015 makes me think of us all living on Mars wearing spray-on boiler suits and eating pill-meals.
Instead we'll more than likely still be spreading scones with cream and jam and pouring tea into china cups here on Earth.
Thank goodness.

Today my younger son is fourteen. A landmark in his life. And in mine.
