Right now, as Cathy wandered around, the air filling with flour as it puffed up from workstations in little clouds, the memory was still fresh in her mind and making her smile. Some were handling pastry better than others and her expertise had been called on a lot more than in previous weeks. Most of the time the fault was that people were just too diligent, overworking it so that it was like plasticine or rolling it too thick or too thin. Cathy tried to explain that sometimes it was all about having the confidence to leave well alone when it looked like it might be mixed; with pastry, less was often more, but many just didn’t seem to get it, and she’d been greeted with some blank looks. She hoped that less than perfect pastry wouldn’t put them off trying it again at home, because she felt certain that it wouldn’t take long for people to get the hang of it and good home-made pastry really was worth the effort.

‘Tansy would have this nailed by now,’ Erica said as Cathy went over to see how she was getting on. ‘She’s really good at stuff like this.’

‘It’s a shame she couldn’t come today,’ Cathy said.

‘I expect she’ll come over to ours later,’ Erica said. ‘I might let her have a go at these in our kitchen if Malc doesn’t object too much.’

‘They’re still not getting along?’ Cathy asked.

‘I can’t see it changing any time soon to be honest. He’s too middle-aged and Tansy is too much of a teenager; not an ideal combination for harmony.’

‘But she still likes to spend time at your house?’

‘It’s either that or her own…’ Erica shrugged. ‘Now’s not the time to go into that.’

Cathy knew when a conversation was done with, so she moved on. Erica kept on putting this information off; every time Cathy got close to hearing it her friend moved the conversation on. She knew she’d hear it sooner or later, but couldn’t help feeling sooner might be more useful because she was beginning to worry that later might lead to her putting her foot in it.
