I had a little visit from Darren my web designer today. Nice young man. It seems the time has come to stop posting out confirmation letters, and do it by email instead. Things move on. He said. I must say I feel a little sad, I don't think you can beat something exciting popping through your letter box of a morning. I asked Darren if he wanted a cup of tea and he said he wouldn't mind a 'cup of chino'. It must have been the expression on my face... it turns out Cappuccino is frothy coffee, (and a Latte is milky coffee, and an Espresso is black coffee in a very small cup). As he began to explain the new buttons on my data base I squeezed alongside him on the piano stool and offered him my bourbons. Well, his little face lit up - he'd never seen anything quite like that before! And he'd never even heard of a custard cream, and he just couldn't get enough of my fig rolls. 'It's all lemon muffins and granola bars these days.' He sighed mournfully, between mouthfuls.
As he was leaving he turned, looking at me sheepishly. I knew exactly what he was after. 'I wonder if I could...would you mind if I just...' I lifted down the biscuit barrel, wrapped a couple of bourbons in a doyley and slipped them into his pocket. As he walked away I noticed him smile and pat his package fondly. It's always nice to see another satisfied visitor at Southcliff.
