Every Tuesday morning, residents at Resthaven Mitcham enjoy a Devonshire tea service – scones served with jam and cream, and tea or coffee poured into fine China teacups with saucers. It’s a tradition that goes all the way back to the mid-1980s, and one which former volunteer Mrs Alison Sparkes, 93, now a resident at Resthaven Westbourne Park, helped to instill.
