The weather was decidedly mixed which meant that people who ordered and said they would sit outside would be caught out by a rain storm and would then rush inside where tables were at a premium.
One order slip for three teas and three cheddar Ploughmans suggested the hungry three would be sitting outside. In the downpour.
We took the trays to the door and called the number, expecting to hear a shout from the conservatory. Not this time.
Under the trees and under umbrellas were three stoic ladies who insisted on eating there.
The bread which accompanied their meal was a little soggy but they didn't seem to mind.
They smiled throughout.
