"TEA AT THE GROSVENOR"
I'm dreaming of tea at The Grosvenor
And sieving through memory dregs
Like you, with your toasted tea cake
Atop a napkin on your legs
A resting place for the living
Overlooking those in their longest sleep
Cream and jam oozing from Victoria sponge
Fresh 'baked well' memories, tastes of life so sweet
I'm dreaming of Devil's chocolate gateau
That we once shared with a very long spoon
As ironic smiles preyed on our lips
While we savoured this heavenly tea room
Michael Ashby, Sidmouth
(The warmest of welcomes and the freshest of Frank's cakes & Bev's beverages awaits you at this 'classic English' scrumptilitious tea room. Please leave a chair for me!)
Here's a very special " Devil's chocolate gateau" made by myself and is a donation from The Grosvenor Tearoom to one of our regular customers for her charity event Friday 25th Sept.!
