rose tea

afternoon tea time

Afternoon tea on a rainy day

warm rose and earl grey,

clotted cream and scones

Shepherd's pie with green peas

on the side,

sandwiches and cakes

bring a smile to gentlemen,

ladies and a child.

We channel our inner Jane

from time to time

and remember the works

of a Lady who was ahead of her time.

I look at the window

I cannot ignore the Greenwich

and Jane street signs
