Defrost mode

Season Nine of the saga that is The Garden Tea Rooms starts tomorrow. Cast members remain the same for the most part. A few cameos from past stars are hoped for. A few new names will be introduced.
I wonder what effect the winter opening will have on our feelings about the summer. Throughout November - March we’ve been multi-layered in vests, roll necks, jumpers and cardigans. We’ve sat by the fire with a coffee or huddled around the oven while the scones and jacket potatoes cook.
In the summer we can’t wait to turn the oven off.
The first thing we do is open all the windows and turn on the fans.
Putting on the layer of an apron is undesirable.
This evening, with more snow forecast for the Easter weekend (it won’t happen, surely) the idea of being warm enough to shed the cardi seems remote. Summer is a long way off.
