Off to 'The Orchard' for afternoon tea Beautiful and quaint, filled with history Rupert Brooke, the poet, started the trend Taking tea in the garden 'til the days end Virginia Woolf, a writer, with a troubled mind Enjoyed the bonds of friendship with a group so kind It goes as far back as the year 1897 Cambridge students found a pocket of heaven Blossoming fruit trees arranged in rows Scattered seating, cushions and colourful throws Crumbling moist Scones with jam and cream Carrot Cake and Cordial an Elderberry dream Horses in the distance and cows by your side Cool Emerald grass where the insects hide A wander by the river hand in hand The most peaceful day that ever was planned I visited The Orchard yesterday, a most gorgeous place. I hope this poem gives you a picture of this idyllic little corner of England x

A Corner of England
