“That’s right. We’ve got an opening day special of scones and jam today, along with Aniseed Valley’s widest range of home-grown herbal teas.”
How on earth does he know this? She’s not said anything. 🤔
“Why won’t they let us go on with our day and try to wipe this terrible thing out of our minds?”
It’s a murder scene - they’d send everyone home and close the hotel for investigations. 😑

Matthew Albert. You’ve just established this… 😑

So, the screaming of them both didn’t alert is friends or the farmers? 🤔😑
