Unit 22B of the Antiquarian Food Surveillance Institute sprang into action last Sunday, upon learning of reports that the Ragged Ramblers antiquarians were gathering for the Heydon open gardens event.
Operative X19 managed to covertly take these fantastic photographs of the antiquarians taking tea within the Heydon Village Tea Shop, using a high-risk strategy - namely, over the shoulder reverse shots with a zoom lens. Although the operatives were unable to gather any crumbs as evidence, our laboratory analysts are of the opinion that the cakes consist of a Citrus Polenta Cake, Rocky Road and a Lavender Scone with Strawberry jam. Using some highly sophisticated equipment recently procured from the CIA Unit 22B were also able to obtain access to Munro Tweeder-Harris' iPhone notes list of the Ramblers' order. Thus, we know that they ordered the following:
- Breakfast tea for 7
- Lady Grey tea for 1
- Strawberry Lime Cordial for 1
- x1 Cheese Scone
- x1 Shortbread
- x1 Cream Tea with Lavender Scones
- x1 Slice of Tiffin
- x4 Slices of Fruitcake
- x1 Slice of Citrus Polenta Cake
Obviously, we are delighted with such detailed results from 'the field'. However, there was an incident which has led to a good deal of trepidation within the AFSI. Wearing our new Audiotron Laser Mask, operative X09c broke all protocol by peering in at the window whilst wearing this full-face apparatus. At this point, the antiquarian, Tweeder-Harris, turned and clearly noted her presence. Operative X19 noted his quizzical expression and gave the emergency code to abort the mission. Fortunately, it seems that this quick thinking saved the day. We do take some comfort from the fact that we have noted on many occasions the tendency for Tweeder-Harris to enter a state of 'stupefication' upon the consumption of cake in the company of tweed-clad antiquarians. It is hoped that this, combined with his declining faculties, will result in our operational security not being compromised.
