The little dolphins come most Fridays after their swimming lesson in Abberley. Their mums were the ladies who prompted me all those weeks ago to buy more high chairs, and on Friday lunchtime they use all three and generally order jacket potatoes. People who visit regularly are a real pleasure. David and Katie, for example, often come three times a week for scones or fruit cake with tea. Their daughter Kelly brings her children and has a toasted teacake and a cappuccino. Simon and Sue come on Wednesdays (although after last Wednesday I shall have to coax them back). Simon has an Americano. Sue likes asparagus soup. And millionaire's shortbread. Wendy has a skinny cappuccino. Her daughter likes the apple shortcake.
Sometimes I try to guess what first time visitors are going to choose. An older couple is the easiest - go for two teas, slice of fruit cake for him, victoria sponge for her and it'll hit the mark most of the time.
