She had a few callsContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner” : Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” : Chapter 29: All Shook Up! The Fat Fox Backs Down”

Being half Welsh and half Indian my bloodline was comfortable with high tea. I went to the Plaza Hotel, well known for its high tea, and bought their incredible jasmine tea and some dainty cakes and sandwiches from the iconic Palm Room. John arrived at 2 p.m. and we sat down to tea not beforeContinue reading ““The Penniless Pensioner: Misaligned, Maligned but Marvellous” :Chapter 24: Reading John Lennon’s Tea Leaves”
