Season's Greetings

It is wet and dreary.
I almost wish we weren't open at all.
Although we did have a handful of people in for lunch and another handful for tea and cake.
Those who came used the tables closest to the radiators.
We closed up at 3.30 when it was so dull it felt like night was falling.
I had spent much of the day with my hands round a hot mug of tea.

Kate and Gareth, who are getting married next summer, came to talk details and alterations. We're catering their afternoon tea reception in a marquee in the garden and it was really hard to imagine a lovely warm sunny day in July. Their smiles and palpable excitement helped.
As they left they wished me a happy Christmas.
