    Keep up @D0rdogne_Damsel :D
    I do that all the time - think I've pressed post. I find it sometimes just saves a draft, and you think it's 'gone' and you come back an hour later wondering why you have a draft sitting there....
    Or is that just me?  :(
    Hope you can get something going with the tearoom soon - not easy. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Managed a staff meeting yesterday in one of the girl's gardens. Very emotional, I cried for most of it, not very professional at all.  :'( They are such a good team and I haven't seen them since the 28th of February because when I came back from skiing ill I had to self isolate. We 'chat' most days on Whatapp but in the flesh as it were was very emotional, especially as we weren't able to hug each other. Anyway, lots of positive thoughts and great support. 

    I have decided not to rush to open even if the authorities say the 2nd of June as is being suggested. I will hang back, make sure we are properly ready, organise an sort of official opening event, it's National Cream Tea Day on the 26th of June and just be sure it hasn't all gone horribly wrong again for all the other restaurants. Imagine getting all that food in only to be told at a moment's notice that you have to shut.  :o

    Had another emotional wobble too yesterday as my ex-boyfriend decided at this moment after all these months that he wanted his lawnmower back. He didn't telephone or message in advance, just arrived at the door extremely angry and demanded it in not very nice words. Very traumatic. And although he technically paid for it well over 12 months ago, I had presumed it was actually mine, After being in lockdown I think he has lost the plot a bit but all the same it was not a pleasant experience. Certainly driving over 100 kms to claim it, a four hour round trip risking a fine seemed a bit potty.

    Look at that positively @D0rdogne_Damsel ... confirmation (if you needed it) that you’re well rid of him 🙄 ... can’t be doing with the excitable type. I’d tie a ribbon on it and wave him off cheerily ... make him feel the idiot that he obviously is. Obviously doesn’t understand a woman with Style. 😎  Think a celebratory ☕ is due ... I’ll join you, it’s time for my second. 👍

    Morning all. Bit unpleasant for you @D0rdogne_Damsel - how rude to just turn up - I hope he was stopped on the way back. 

    Just having some fluffy pancakes before heading in to work - I am off for the rest of the week then (woohoo!). 
    Have a lovely day everyone.
