Last night we ran the last of the season's concert suppers. When there's an evening concert in the Church we offer three course meals to ticket holders who book.
Sometimes it's well attended and sometimes it isn't.
Last night we had only eight booked in.
Then we took a call from a lady in Ludlow.
There were 20 of them coming on a coach. Would we be open for tea and cake?
Of course, I said, thinking how really quiet we'd be without them.
As we were preparing for their arrival a few members of the orchestra began to drift in after finishing their rehearsal.....
"We've come for our sandwiches and cake," they said.
Nothing had been booked. We were not expecting them.
They drifted out again looking bemused.
Minutes later they were back led by a woman with a credit card:
"Cock up," she said and asked if we could do fifteen rounds of sandwiches and teas.
Pronto.
The main room filled up, and then the Ludlow posse arrived.
Man were we busy.
I loved it.
