Institute Invasion

How wrong can one person be?
I thought this morning would follow the same pattern as the previous few - a slow start and a busy lunchtime and afternoon.
But at 11am three ladies came in and ordered cream teas. The scones were still cooling from the oven.
Two more ladies, two more cream teas.
The WI members were coming in force, they told me, and the scones didn't stand a chance.
And they kept coming.
In the midst of their staggered arrival came a large extended family for coffees, milk shakes and cakes.
By 1130 the conservatory was full.
And most of the day's scones were eaten.

The rest of the day reverted to type.
