Kelly Grey, manager of Cakes and Daisies, is certainly not one to sport a frown when the chips are down.
After Kelly asked a customer how business has been getting on, they simply said “we’re alright!”, summing up the positive mood in what has been a dark period for local traders.
“We have a lot of laughs,” Kelly said.
“We have time for our customers; we even phoned them up during lockdown. We rang them once a week, just to see if they were alright.”
Hot drinks and scones topped with decorative cakes, including a lookalike of children’s television character Peppa Pig, were on hand to serve up the perfect ointment to a cold morning.
