Desperation strikes!
The weather this morning was absolutely atrocious, as many of us know.
The rain was pouring as if someone had left a tap on and the wind was indescribable. Having shut the nursery for two weeks, we took full advantage of tea & papers in bed, with 2 grandchildren hooked on CBeebies and at 9.30am, I was giving everyone breakfast and still in my dressing gown. There was a knock on the kitchen window and a poor woman in foul weather gear was asking if we sell Christmas trees! She apologised for disturbing us, knowing that the nursery is closed because it says so on the gate, but she was desperate for a Christmas tree. We can only wonder if she always leaves it this late, or if some family problem led to this final, frantic search. Not the latter, I hope. Luckily, we knew exactly where she'd get one and could give her directions to the local farm. I felt so sorry for her, standing there, dripping from every garment as if a hose was playing over her! About 10 minutes later, there was a knock at the front door, another dripping woman but this time, bringing us a lovely flower arrangement! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon |
