Well what a week it's been at Dolly's.  Tears and laughter and we have been up and down like a lady of the nights undergarments!  We have had so many lovely compliments from customers who have found us and love the Dolly's experience.  A lady today told us at great length how wonderful her scones are (she puts a whole egg in the mixture!) - and then she had to concede that ours were even better which made Holly go a bit pink and beam with pride.... Tears from Dolly's previous life at the vets when one of her favourite woofers went to doggy heaven.  She was a gorgeous little dog called Pandora and there is a very amusing story about a bit of confusion via a text message to Dolly when The Pandora caught fire.  Laughter and relief all round at the discovery that corn cushions offer instant relief (Dolly has her first ever corn which is apparently rather painful!).  And even more laughter at Holly's Old Fashioned Collapsing Chocolate Cake.  It tastes wonderful - just doesn't look like one of Jane Asher's! 

Visitors are arriving by the bus load.  Amelia's parents tomorrow, Kev and Robbie on Thursday (Kev gave us the idea of cocktails in teapots) and Sarah's parents the weekend after.  Looks like the season is about to begin.
