On Saturday morning a gentleman ordered two coffees and a toasted tea cake and told me he'd be sitting in the conservatory where his wife had already taken her seat.
I took the tray to them.
The lady looked questioningly at her husband when she saw the teacake.
"It's a surprise for you," he said, and then added, "happy anniversary."
She looked at me.
"Happy Anniversary," I said.
"He's bought me a teacake?" she asked, as if for confirmation, and stifling a giggle.
"I think it's romantic," I said, then: "how long have you been married?"
"Fifty six years today," she answered, "and he's not only bought me a teacake as an anniversary present, he'll also expect me to share it with him."
