Since Saturday we have been in the grip of a heatwave.
I have always thought heat and sunshine were good for tearooms business but from Saturday to Monday we weren't as busy as we'd expected. We were far from quiet, but customers seemed to be arriving at a slower pace. Good for us as we needed time to drink and sit down.
I now consider that it can be TOO hot.
The conservatory is like a sauna (though that didn't put off one couple on Saturday who thought it was "a bit breezy outside").
All the tables are under the trees and have stayed there all week.
We have temporarily removed jacket potatoes from the menu. Having the oven on all morning to cook them was, well, hellish.
Today has dawned a little cooler. Much more manageable.
But the fans will still be the first things switched on this morning...
