The local tea room in the quaint old

English village of St. Mary Mead was the

gathering place for all the local identities.
It was a hotbed of gossip, and to anyone
of an enquiring mind, like Miss Marple, it
was a constant source of useful
information.
It was Miss Marple's shrewd powers of
observation that enabled her to solve
many a dastardly crime. As she herself
so often observed, 'Human nature is much
the same everywhere, and of course, one
has the opportunity of seeing it all at close
quarters in a village like St. Mary Mead.'
Sometimes, the charming old lady could
be found busily engaged in her garden,
casting a watchful eye over the passers
by; or on the outskirts of St. Mary Mead,
binoculars poised, enjoying her favourite
hobby of bird watching. Miss Marple was
the delightful character created by Agatha
Christie, portrayed on the screen to
perfection by Margaret Rutherford.
We trust that you too, will enjoy observing
the local characters and identities, as you
relax in the cosiness of Miss Marple's Tea
Room, in the village of Sassafras.
