9 am.

I stood nervously on the front step of the inn, having breakfasted, showered and tamed my wild mane of hair in preparation for the day ahead. I’d dressed, as I usually did, in black, but today I’d ensured I looked as smart as possible. There was no evidence of plaster dust or paint smears on my long skirt and button through blouse. I’d applied some make-up too, and hoped I looked sophisticated and experienced, as the owner of a soon-to-be top-class boutique-style inn really should.

I’d set the Wonky Inn Clean-up Crew to work in earnest, and now every nook and cranny of Whittle Inn had been swept and dusted to my satisfaction, every work surface washed clean, and every tile in both the kitchens and bathrooms sparkled. The inn was a long way from being decorated and ready to open, but at least I could see the wood for the trees at last.

All I needed now were the staff to help me raise my game, and that would start right now. I intended to have hired a chef by the end of the day.

With six chefs to see it promised to a be a long and interesting Thursday. I clutched a clipboard nervously to my chest and checked my watch for the hundredth time in five minutes. This was the first time I’d put my wonky inn on show, and it felt strangely personal.

As the first taxi rolled down the drive I swallowed nervously. A young man peered out at the inn and then at me. He said something to the driver who promptly sped up, scattering gravel and dust all over me. I coughed and waved the cloud of dust away, just in time to see the taxi disappearing back down the lane to Whittlecombe.

My stomach lurched and then dropped. Was something wrong? What had I done? What had my inn done?

I turned on my heel and headed into the kitchen for some of Florence’s restorative tea, before I could burst into tears and ruin my mascara.
