A very long good Friday

Easter can be very hard work.
I learn every year (and then forget) just how many people go out for the first Bank Holiday of the season. I try every year to fill up the staff rota.
Today was a busy day but it threw a curveball by being very quiet until midday. We thought everyone was traveling? Perhaps shopping? Gardening?
No.
They were waiting around the corner until midday to descend on us.
This is typical as Mary was leaving at midday to go to watch her choirboy grandson in the cathedral and two other staff members weren't arriving until 1230.
It proved to be the longest half hour of my day.
Please let my future self remember this and that a tearoom CANNOT have enough chocolate cake when children are on school holidays.
