Anne E Sangster - K Poet Rhyme

Stirring My Afternoon Tea

Sitting here stirring my afternoon tea. Earl Grey is my favourite, so that it must be. 
With the fragrance of Bergamot filling the air, recollections at Grandma's house take me right there. 
She'd brew up a pot, serve cookies and cake, or sometimes a Cadbury's chocolate flake. 
So that's why Earl Grey is my first choice of tea, for it brings back dear memories of Grandma and me.

Anne E Sangster - K November 15, 2024 at 2:11 PM Hi Ann, It is lovely to hear from you and thank you for stopping by to read my afternoon tea. I'm so happy you love the photo of my sweet little Elle.
