David Tompkins thinks it is a splendid idea to open a tea garden at
his Kentish cottage. His wife, Germayne, is not so sure. The local
villagers are divided on the matter, and not necessarily
supportive, particularly Mr Perch at the Dolphin, who sees it as
direct competition to Mrs Perch's own tea garden. It doesn't bode
well when the official opening coincides with a break in the
beautiful weather. Things are further complicated by the arrival of
the 'cake cook' Mimi, a Viennese girl with a mysterious past,
Germayne's daughter Ducks, and finally her 'rather stolid'
ex-husband Digby. With rumour rife that the couple are - whisper it
- not actually married, the lady of the manor, who has failed to
realise that nowadays that title carries no real weight, makes it
her mission to shut the enterprise down.
