    Its the most beautiful evening, the bluest blue imaginable, and the foliage outsideis lush as lush can be.

    We forgot to research our retreatish break at the weekend. Will put it on the list for this weekend.

    think of all the beautiful butterflies you are creating.

    And buy a mesh when you grow brassicas.

    I reckon they should put scone etiquette in the citizenship test. Instead of sitting an exam with stupid questions about how many people under the age of 16 there are in the country you should be given a practical assessment. A scone, some jam, and clotted cream. Cream on first = MASSIVE FAIL.

    Then what do we do with Cornwall and west Devon...that's what they do isn't it?



    I like clotted cream but hate the crust. DH has my crust.

    We were just having an inappropriate adult phone conversation where he poured a cold hose on something my saying it was as good as clotted cream crust. He said the nice peoe would like clotted cream crust, and I said that judging on the fifty fifty on mushrooms I wouldn't be sure, and felt confident making a bet.

    Now that we find that chewy actually comes up positive on something....and that its the crust of clotted cream, I am a little wrong footed. That doesn't happen that often.

    Clotted cream - yes
    The crust - yes if it's with plenty of the stuff underneath
    Clotted cream ice cream - dead waste of clotted cream

    But you don't get any butter.

    I don't think anyone can get more cream on than DH with the cream on top method.


    DH once ate a whole tray. ( as in a big tray, not a little pot) of clotted cream because they wouldn't let him fly with it. He washed it down with gold top milk and then thought he was having a heart attack on the flight.

    Clotted cream - yes
    Crust - no thanks

    Scone, then butter, then jam, then cream.

    I've got some clotted cream and golden syrup ice cream lurking in the freezer - it is yummy :)
