00:09 - Are they from your garden?
00:11 - Oh no, I think they were brought in specially
00:13 for the occasion.
00:14 It's a bit early for, you know, flowers in the garden.
00:17 Don't you think?
00:18 - Oh, good.
00:19 (people chattering)
00:20 - Everybody's ready for a cup of tea, I think.

00:59 - Now, what are you going to have?
01:03 Aren't they beautiful?
01:04 - Lovely.
01:05 - Yes, I see.
01:06 - Very friendly, dear.
01:09 - Now, don't have that, have one of these.
01:11 - Yes, do have one.
01:12 - Yes, yes, thank you, thank you.
01:14 Thank you.
01:16 - Do you like green cakes, then?
01:17 Now, could we have a little silence, please?
01:20 I want to say something to you all.
01:22 - It's very good, very good.
01:24 - Yes.
01:25 - Well, everybody, we all know Mary's leaving
01:32 after being here for 10 years,
01:33 and I know you're all very sorry to see her the last of her.
01:36 - Oh, yes.

01:56 May I open it?

01:58 - Go on.
01:59 - This is exciting.
02:00 Oh, you shouldn't have.
02:07 (audience laughing)
02:10 Isn't that marvelous?
02:12 I should be able to get something very special with this.
02:15 Thank you very much.
02:17 And it's got all your names on it.
02:19 Thank you.
