Home again, facing a serious amount of rain and the last Bank Holiday of the tea room season. Hats off to the Bewdley Civic Society members who came for their tour of the Court despite the downpours and came to us for tea afterwards. The scone to fruit cake ratio changes in the damp. Hardly anyone wants scones with cream (a pity as we have SO much cream) but plenty want a big hearty slice of Anna's best.
Bank Holiday Monday looms and each new day brings a different member of staff who can't work. One will be in Dublin celebrating her GCSEs.Two are on holiday. One more is babysitting while parents and their friends go out to lunch. Today I asked Ita what was keeping her from joining us on Monday and was, well, surprised by the response. "I'm going to Hay on Wye," she told me, "to climb Lord Hereford's Knob".
It does exist. I've just looked it up.
I've heard of it in Brian Viner's book about moving to Hereford - apparantly there is also another great place - you can climb up Myarth!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! That'd be something to tell the grandchildren.
