Opening Hours

 

Saturday 28th June
 
Where has this month gone? And where is summer? We had that two days in May and all thought, 'Great, summer has arrived!', but then it was gone and its been very disappointing since.  We have had customers asking for hot soup and its a nonsense to tell them that we don't serve it in the heat of the summer months! Ha,Ha.

 

 Apart from the weather, all is going smoothly at the Cafe, though the economy at large does seem to be having an effect on shopping habits with not as many shoppers coming into the city which means we are not as busy as last year, but taking a casual poll of other businesses reveals the same story pretty much everywhere. We remain grateful for the loyalty of our regulars and despite the above continue to attract new customers who have either stumbled on to us or come because they have heard we are worth a visit. It's that 'word of mouth' that is so important to us and means that we are getting things right. Though we never get complacent and are always on our guard not to relax standards. If you notice something, not quite right, please tell us we see ourselves as a kind of partnership and you may notice something that has slipped our attention and we would be pleased to hear from you.
 

The flowers in the yard are really coming on well and seem to appreciate the cooler weather, making the yard very pretty and a pleasant place to sit and rest, when it is warm enough!

 

Flossie our newest recruit is doing her work experience for two weeks so you will see her regularly for a while as she is working every day!! We are really pleased with her progress and she is getting to know our customers and is an asset to our family team.

 

Pam and I have taken two weeks off to get some gardening done and have a few days out together. We went to the Norfolk Show on Wednesday and spent almost 12 hours there!! It was a lovely day and Pam saw her first 'Royal', when Harry spent three hours there. Although I am working this Saturday while Amy and Nina go off to see 'Bon Jovi', we resume our holiday next week and hope to visit Colchester Zoo so will tell you how that goes later.

 

Must go to work now, so hope this finds you all well and look forward to seeing you in our Cafe.
   
Bye Y'all
