Possibly one of my best working days ever.
What a great lot of people.
And there were a LOT of people.
Two coach drivers, both Scottish, both bringing tour groups, talked about the referendum. One on one side of the debate, one on the other: "It doesn't mean we don't like you if we vote yes," said Mr No Voter. Mr Yes Voter said nothing.
Two ladies arrived to ask if we could fit them in? They'd read yesterday's post and knew we were going to be busy so they ordered their lunch before going off to discover the delights of the church and the crypt.
And who knew the Dutch could drink so much coffee?
As I cleared their table I told them I'd never made so many double espressos.
"Your americanos aren't strong enough for us'" answered one. Was she the one who had four shots of coffee with her lunch?
Or was she the one who bought two slices of coffee and walnut cake for the journey home to The Netherlands?
The walking group preordered lunch and arrived to eat panini and jacket potatoes and salads outside in lovely sunshine (at a table the Dutch were just vacating).
And the Bridgend 36 took their Afternoon Tea in the conservatory.
What could have been mayhem on a rainy day was actually wonderfully civilised.
Thank goodness for the fair weather.
