Tractor Annie came to help for the day and we mucked out and did all the rubbish jobs all day. Then Doug rang to ask if we had a sofa for cottage 6, as he had seen one that was reasonable. I had ordered a brand new one, but just in case this was the deal of the century, we raced over to Bodmin, wellies,muck and all! Nipped in, told Auntie Louise to try out the chair. She sat in it and all was fine until she found the recline button, and it was like something out of a comedy, She shot back and these two great green wellies 3 sizes too big for her appeared, she couldn't stop laughing and I thought we were going to get kicked out, we looked a right pair of reprobates!...I think the straw that broke the camels back was when the assistant asked if he could help.....I tried to regain normality and a percentage of professionalism...mmm wellies, muck and laughter....didn't really go well...anyway I asked if they had banana leaf furniture as I was looking for a 2 seat sofa in this. He looked at me quizzically, and asked if that was a yellow sofa?....well that was it Louise just fell about and we had to stumble to the door with laughter...Yellow?...is he mad...does he sell furniture???Not sure we will be going back there, and I am more than happy with my order of a new sofa!
