Description
’This was Aunt Belle’s teacup and saucer. They always entertained me as a schoolgirl. An Englishman, Mr Oliver, would regularly come for afternoon tea. Aunt Helen would say, ‘Do you think Mr Oliver will come this afternoon? Then, when he knocked at the door, she’d say, ‘What a lovely surprise’.
