Cosy tale set in a 1920s' seaside boarding house. Michael's mum is Lorna Valetta, the singer, and their lives are spent on the road but when they check into The Seaview Guest House for the summer season, they find that it's kept by one of mum's friends from years ago and, would you believe, she has a son of Michael's age. The two boys spend the long hot summer having fun and getting into minor scrapes. In case you were wondering about the title, one of their jobs is to lay the tables every day.
