Yesterday proved without a doubt how reliant we are on the weather for our business. Tuesday was very quiet indeed as it was sunny and dry, but yesterday, with the rain coming at lunchtime, our sales almost trebled. I suppose with the British weather so changeable, this is good for us, but it does mean that we tend to prefer rainy days to sunny ones, which is a real shame as I like warm and pleasant days as much as everyone else. How I would love to run a business where the weather doesn't make a difference!
Because it was quiet in the morning at work yesterday (before the rain lashed down) Keith and I went off to the bank and on the way drove through the park to see if there were hordes of children there, such is my paranoia about where our customers go to! Surprisingly it was empty. We also checked out the competition but they didn't look any busier than us!
Of course, when we got back our place was pleasantly busy and stayed that way for the rest of the afternoon and evening!
