For Lila, a bowl of cool water was placed by her side. It came with a dog biscuit, which she received most gratefully. The cake was perfectly soft. The top had been sprinkled with edible blue flowers and lemon zest. It was delicious. After the glass pot of tea cooled and the fresh mint floating in the water was bright green, Amelia poured it into the porcelain teacup.

Steam swirled up from the stream of liquid, which made a satisfying sound as it hit the porcelain and filled the cup. Together, Amelia and Lila took in the sights and sounds of the garden. The bees were flying from flower to flower. a plucky little robin was chirping proudly with its fluffed-up chest feathers.

It flitted between the top of the walls and a seed feeder, which was swinging from a hook. The clinking of knives and forks against plates and the chatter of the other customers sitting in the garden were also welcome to her. Before long, she set her plate to one side and looked down at Lila. The young dog was snoozing peacefully. Her body was rising and falling with each breath.

Gently, Amelia called her name. Lila slowly looked up at her and then lazily rolled onto her back, lifting a single paw into the air in protest. This was her cue for attention. Amelia stroked her side gently, which seemed to please Lila enough. The puppy eventually clambered to her feet, but not before a very deep stretch.

The pads of her paws splayed out as she did so, and she let out a very long yawn. No doubt, Lila was going to spend the majority of this evening tucked up in her bed with her favorite blanket. The next part of their journey took them to the center of the village. It was a paved area ordered on three sides by rows of shops and houses. Summerwell was home to a thriving farmer's market.

It was a tradition dating back hundreds of years. Each of the main streets that led to the square still held traces of its history. On the roads, you could see grooves that carts, heavily laden with goods, had eroded over hundreds of years. Right in the middle of the square was the village hall. Like most things about Summerwell, it too was old. It was compact and painted a dusky orange.

The top of the hall was supported by stone columns that formed the open lower level. While the enclosed rooms on the upper floor were for meetings and a pop-up museum, the lower level provided shelter from bad weather for those waiting for the village bus. Today was Saturday, and so the market was overflowing with colorful canvassed stalls. Each was selling a different locally made product.
