I know this is not really the thread to ask but........................🤣🤣🤣🤣 has anyone ever ordered a cornsh cream tea by post? a friend was saying today she wanted to order one and gave me an idea for Christmas present for her as she needs/wants nothing and this would make her day, i don't know if i would do it for before Christmas as she is going away or for when she comes back 🤔

Not done it myself but there are companies available that do them.  I think it's a lovely idea as a Christmas present for your friend.  If your friend likes really thick clotted cream then I'd order from Cornwall but if she likes the slightly thinner sticky cream then order from Devon!  Love Cornish clotted cream, probably because my nan was Cornish and often used to order it to be delivered between her holidays down there.

I haven't ordered a cream tea @bubbs but my aunt used to regularly send us clotted cream from Devon (using the dairy company to send it), it travelled well and was yummy. I think it's a great idea for a present. 👍

Thanks both, she said about ordering from a Cornish company with clotted cream, i have read some reviews and they are very good, Think i will do that, might even order Mum one as a treat

I would LOVE that bubbs.
A friend had one delivered for a friend & it was good.

That's good to hear Beanie, she is 77 and in very poor health, but she is the first to give donations for anything, when i raise money for the refuge doing bonus ball, if there is any numbers left she always buys them 😍she just has a heart of gold but is so difficult to buy for, i have made my mind up i am going to do it!

Morning all, more washing today although it's a bit cloudy at the moment but is forecast to be sunny again later.

That looks a lovely cream tea for your friend @bubbs.  It definitely gets harder to find things for people as they get older - I should know I'm like that now.  We tend not to bother about "holidays" throughout the year and if we want something just buy it!  After all you never know if you'll make the next the holiday!

I'm looking after my friend's 2 little dogs today for a few hours while she meets her DD for lunch and shopping for a birthday present for her.  She's travelling to Bluewater by public transport - rather her than me - 2 trains and a bus each way and takes just over an hour - on a good day!

Today's plan:

B - mushroom omelette
L - BLT - HEB; P; S; 3.5
D - SC roast pork, roast potatoes, roasted carrots, onions and peppers, green veg - P; S; F

HEA - milk
HEB - bread
Syns - butter 3.5

Have a good day everyone.
