Doctors orders

This morning a tired paediatrician came for a cream tea. She'd had no sleep, she told us, and had to stay even longer than usual at work for a meeting.
And she needed tea.
She sat in the garden (not terribly warm, but dry at least) but before she left for home and bed she bought A LOT of jewellery from our display cabinet, a few cards and a diffuser. As she handed over her credit card I said I hoped she wouldn't regret the big spend when she woke up later...

This afternoon a man in a top hat came in. He ordered a latte and a cake and sat in the garden.
He parked his vehicle just outside the door of the tea rooms.
But no one minded a bit.
