A dignity awareness tea party was held at a care home in Sutton.
Care Minister, MP Paul Burstow, pupils from Overton Grange High School and Sutton High School for Girls all turned up for the afternoon at Eothen Homes in Worcester Road Sutton on Friday March 16.
Resident of the home, a poet and writer, Phylis Mayfield, read a poem about dignity and one of her own pieces called 'A French Market' all about the market held in Sutton High Street.
French Market
Sutton High Street Invaded at last. Straight through the tunnel Napolean. How he’d have laughed.
Pate and fromage, casseroles too. Sticks of French bread. Chance to say parlez vous.
When we think of those years Boney filled us with dread, Much better old foes should Be good friends instead.
By Phylis Mayfield.
