Morning all.

For the regulars, you know the routine, for anyone new -

Welcome to the Happy Place virtual cafe. The cafe is open every morning for breakfast, there are a number of different seats / tables including some wing back chairs to either side of a log fire.

Dogs and children are welcome although be warned they are sometimes whisked away to see the kitchen.

In the garden there is a sensory area, a cat area with catnip bush, a water feature (feel free to cool your feet) and an area for the kitten bees (tiny kittens, the size of a bee but with wings and the ability to sprout an umbrella from their tails).

Florence is a French pastry Chef who makes the most wonderful bread, cakes and pastries.

Fernando is a cocktail waiter who is also in charge of the huge posh Italian coffee machine.

If you don't like the menu then feel free to cook for yourself or ask one of the regulars.

@moglovesquotes not too bad, I had my assessment for disabled students allowance yesterday so hopefully my studies will be easier this year. I just need to open the books.

Bugger, my request for minestrone yesterday lunchtime didn't post.

Is Florence around today @sashh?

Aside from think about food, how is everyone?

sashh · 17/10/2020 08:16

Morning all.

Florence has been baking overnight so lots of breads and pastries.

Fernando is on the coffee machine.

Still a little chilly so toasties are available and for packing up tomato soup (the final tomatoes from the garden's veg patch) with bread of choice.
