A Delight Saturday Afternoon 24th January 2009
What a delightful way to spend an stormy Saturday afternoon. Tea in the parlour with Mrs Vi Weston at the Olde Worlde Cafe at Bosherston. Mrs Wesson (Auntie Vi to all the locals) is 87 and in her words "fit as a flea". She served 20 teas on Saturday afternoon without any assistance- then entertained me for 2 hours of gossip (some of it naughty) lots of reminiscing and nostalgia- but then where else would I find a cafe where the simple but perfect menu is unchanged since 1923. By the way our families go back over a century.
Vi proudly told me that not only had she catered for coach parties of around 40 on Boxing Day and on New Year's Eve ( both from Tenby) but also Nick Ainger our local MP and family called for afternoon tea on New Years Eve and to take advantage of the delightful winter day insisted on having tea on the lawn. We are blessed with a kind climate.
