Sunday dawned rather cloudy and dull after rain on Saturday, but the forecast and visible satelite pictures showed it would clear.
We had made 15 cakes this time as we had run out on our previous two openings this year.
Gate open at 11am, still dull, but a few people waiting for us to open. It turned out to be a slow start, so much for making more cakes.
But the sun showed about 12.30 and we started to get busy, by the end of the day we had a very nice 282 visitors, and had run out of cake again.
Lots of new visitors, four even made a special journey to us from London. Nationality of some were Irish
Turkish, Latvian and Chinese.
So a good finish to our open days, we ended up with 783 visitors in the 15 hours we were open. Thats one every 52 seconds
It was 14 visitors short of last year, but of course we had been on tv and mentioned in the Telegraph that year.
We still have a couple of private visits to do yet, including a group of 25 to 30 next week. The private visits are not included in the figures given above.
