 Moorhouse Inn

Whit Sunday

We are putting out a new menu tomorrow. We will be equal only to the Savoy Grill. Ally typed a menu, and Samuel bashed at the keys. A budding Harold Robbins? Luncheon saw the arrival of Uncle Peter, cousin Julie, Stephen Dean, and Beverley, who celebrates her birthday today. I was too busy to spend much time with them but took them upstairs to see the sleeping babe. They gasped at the size of the flat. Afterwards we went to see Susie. A baby boy today would have to be Philip. The Duke of Edinburgh is 63. He is a national institution. Imagine Britain without Philip? Frightening, eh? Mum, all edgy and expectant, was at the bedside with Papa, Peter and Christopher. The lad was ransacking the ward and they cannot understand it because he has been an angel at Horton. It is Peter's influence. They all came back here at 4 for a couple of hours. Mum was in a fluster and not herself. They left and I opened up (the pub) tired and groggy. Ally cooked curry, lasagne, steak and kidney for tomorrow's menu.
