The Power of Tea by William Ewart Gladstone

William Ewart Gladstone  (29 December 1809 – 19 May 1898) wrote about the power of tea in this poem:

"If you are cold,
tea will warm you.
If you are too heated,
it will cool you.
If you are depressed,
it will cheer you.
If you are excited,
it will calm you."

What do you think, do you agree with Gladstone or are you a coffee person?
(We do serve excellent coffee as well as tea!)

The Orchard Tea Room & Farm Shop

We're closed today, January 1st, but open as usual from tomorrow, the 2nd of January 2014.

There will be a log fire and hot drinks waiting if you fancy a New Year stroll around the orchard - dogs and children welcome!

The farm shop is expecting deliveries from our local suppliers so there will be lots of just cut veg, straight from the field.
