Sorry Amy!
While Amy was chatting with Matt in the kitchen about tonight’s menu she was asking about staff tea; tonight is pork stir fry which Amy likes but there is a perfumy taste which she’s not too sure of.
I went to see Matt to clarify a couple of questions I had and when I’d finished asked Matt for a piece of star anise to see if that was what Amy could smell. We went through the changes and then I showed Amy the spice to ask her if this was what she could smell. I must admit I did produce this quite quickly and she had to trun to look at it. Her first reaction was to jump away very quickly - how am I supposed to know she has a phobia about spiders!
She has now calmed down, her pulse rate is back to normal and her eyes have stopped watering - I’ll know for next time - sorry!
