Art exhibition

Lunches, for those working at the tearooms, are rarely at lunchtime.

We keep going on snacks and drinks until the kitchen closes and we can send people to eat their chosen sandwich/toastie/soup in a corner of the tearoom where they can check their phones and have a breather.

Today when Hannah made all the staff sandwiches she wrote a name and drew a little picture on the cling film. 

Hannah is very artistic and creative. 

Everyone has off days. 

This is, in case of any doubt, Hannah’s drawing of a cat:

Goal achieved

 A Saturday in July would usually yield ice cream, cold drinks and iced lattes sales with customers sitting outside enjoying the warmth of the day in the garden.

Today was more like an autumn Saturday. 

It rained, it was cold. The doors and windows in the conservatory remained closed. We had a very slow start. 

Then, suddenly, as we were about to close the kitchen at the end of lunch service, we took a raft of panini orders, coffee orders, scone orders, hot chocolate orders. A hen party of seven turned up. We were busy. 

But we were all out of there by 4.30pm and home to watch the England match.
