A Poem about Marmalade

Written By M C Horsford

The King’s Breakfast… by AA Milne

The King asked

The Queen, and

The Queen asked

The Dairymaid :

“Could we have some butter for

The Royal slice of bread ?”

The Queen asked the Dairymaid,

The Dairymaid

Said, “Certainly,

I’ll go and tell the cow

Now

Before she goes to bed.”

The Dairymaid

She curtsied,

And went and told

The Alderney:

“Don’t forget the butter for

The Royal slice of bread.”

The Alderney

Said sleepily:

“You’d better tell

His Majesty

That many people nowadays

Like marmalade instead.”

Colleen runs the very popular Valley View Farm bnb, in Batcombe Somerset, with Mart’s help. Apart from their relentless ongoing improvement programme, and keeping everything running smoothly for all the PG’s (paying guests) comfort and enjoyment, Colleen is often preparing packed lunches for the day and cooking delicious kitchen suppers too.

Having been in hospitality most of her adult life, whether hotels, restaurants or resorts, she knows the game. Mart is a seasoned builder with a keen designers eye for the aesthetics of a place.

Together they plan to evolve VVF into a wonderful secluded escape from the city, and over time offer all manner of activities and indulgence.
