A Note From Jo:
It's
such a wonderful pleasure to be able to invite you to our cyber tea party!
As a regular at the English Rose Tea Room in Carefree, I know how much you
enjoy a good cup of tea and a chat and I realize that during these long hot
summer months, you may not feel inclined to venture outdoors too often.
So
I am inviting you to partake of my new "Inform-à la-Tea" newsletter which will bring you all the latest news, tidbits and gossip from
the Tea Room, with the occasional recipe and advertisement to come and visit us
for tea, of course!
Please call us if you'd like a reservation at 480-488-4812.
I hope you enjoy our newsletter, or better yet, forward it to your friends so we
can all enjoy the "utterly civilized pleasure of taking time for tea."

Grandma Rose
Grandma Rose was last seen in front of the English Rose Tea Room in downtown Carefree  | |
|
On or about Monday, May 31st, Grandma Rose, a well known local Carefree celebrity at the English Rose Tea Room, wandered off and has not been seen since!
Grandma's guardian, Jo Gemmill of the Tea Room had this to say, "Grandma has never been a problem in the past, in fact for years she has sat patiently outside of the Tea Room with Grandpa George. But recently she had been refusing her medication and I think this latest heat wave may have made her a little confused. We hope she is safe, wherever she is and we urge the public to keep an eye out for her."
If anyone has any information or has seen Grandma Rose, please contact the English Rose Tea Room at 480-488-4812.
We will keep you updated on her whereabouts.

Did you know?
| In the 1940's, Jo's grandfather, Coldstream Guard Herbert Henry Stevens, (Steve), was a Guardsman outside Buckingham Palace.
Yes, he was one of those in the black fuzzy hats that you probably tried to make laugh when you visited London. He later became a Royal Mail Messenger at "Buck House" (Buckingham Palace) and personally delivered mail to the Royal family's private residences.
Because of his "royal" connection, Jo's grandparents were invited to the prestigious annual garden party at Buckingham Palace with the Queen and Prince Philip, and Jo's got the photos to prove it!
