One of my favorite places in the world, is a little orchard that has been serving tea and scones to Cambridge students since 1897…
We sat under the trees eating scones with clotted cream and jam… And the words by Rupert Brooke, who wrote about this idyllic spot, still hang in the air, “And is there honey still for tea?” (The Old Vicarage, Granchester).

Really good life, simple, calm, warm and happy!

I also love how the birds came to sing to us, and sit by Sam’s shoulder! How could they not, in an orchard like that? Delightful.

The Orchard at Grantchester is one of my favourite little corners of the globe : )
