Not the sunniest of days but a very busy lunchtime nonetheless. The man who dyes his hair told Nancie how much he loved the spinach and Herefordshire goats' cheese quiche.
We were just catching up after the rush when the Court rang to say that a coach of 45 unexpected visitors had arrived and were heading our way.
I've noticed that coach parties are often full of acquaintances, not friends. Noone wants to buy anyone else a cup of tea, clearly worried the favour will never be reciprocated. So it's tray after tray of "one tea, one scone". And if it's ever: "two teas, two scones" ladies (always ladies) peer into their purses and look uncomfortable. It can be a stressful few seconds before it's decided they'll split the bill and I take their money separately.
