A quaint tea-shop
Take a look at the picture above and ask yourself where is it. If you said 'London' you would be wrong. It is, in fact, still Italy, in Rome, where it has been since 1896. An old-fashioned tearoom, opened by two Englishwomen named (appropriately) Babington, it is located in the Piazza di Spagna (you can get buttered scones and Earl Grey tea if you wish amongst other English goodies). (Aside - you can also get similar things in the 'Scottish, Irish ,English Store in the Village Mews in Bells Corners). Also in the Piazza di Spagna is the Memorial House of those two well-known Irish poets, Sheats and Kelley (sorry), two English poets, Keats and Shelley. Eggs and bacon, too!
LITTLE FLY upon the grease/ You think "Will wonders never cease/ I feel so full that I could slumber"/ Look out, fly - I've got your number.
