Bean Box

I went for a walk by the riverbank on Saturday afternoon, and in the garden by the bridge I came across three generations of Teviotdales enjoying coffee at the Bean Box. Brian had his son and grandson down for a visit.
It's a lovely spot for coffee in the summer, with the garden and the view over the river through the trees, and the garden was full of people when I stopped to say hello.
When Brian started singing Haydn, who runs the Bean Box, came over. Haydn trained as an opera singer. He pleaded with Brian to stop. "Brian is to singing as Giant Haystacks is to the pole vault!" he said (which is possibly a little unfair - Brian can at least carry a tune!).
