MMMMMMMmmmm! I wanted to get something for my ever patient neighbour for looking after my chooks and Bailey while I went away for a couple of days, and thought than rather give him the usual bottle of wine, I would actually do something that required a bit of effort. So I bought a tub of clotted cream, and decided on giving him a cream tea with home made scones and jam. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (can you see where this is heading? )
Whilst I was making the scones, I decided to make a double batch and freeze some for later, but when they came out of the oven, they smelled so good that I decided I would decant the clotted cream into a bowl for him, so that I could have a little (just for testing purposes you understand ).
Luckily the bowl didn't hold even half of the cream, so there was plenty left. I wanted to check they weren't poison so just had one. Then went back for seconds and thirds.
Good job I took his cream tea round before I ate the lot!!!
Proper job as they say in Cornwall, I looooooooooooove a cream tea. Scones look very yummy scrumptious Helen. I always like to taste the cakes I made, probably why I look like a weeble
They do look very good Helen, I am so unpredictable with mine, some ok others bounce . I love cheese scones and at the garden centre they make apple and cinnamon scones they are pretty good too
It will be alright in the end , if its not alright, it isn't the end . Quote from the proprietor of the The best exotic Marigold Hotel for the elderly and beautiful
Your scones look delicious Helen, I'm another scone fan, I'm never sure whether the cream goes on top of the jam or the other way round . I prefer cream first then jam

They look delicious Helen. I haven't made scones in ages. Now I know what I'm doing with Rose & her friend tomorrow afternoon

I have jam first (raspberry as I loathe strawberry) then cream because otherwise the jam would go everywhere, I have a scone that rhymes with bone not a scone that rhymes with gone.

Ah well i have a good imagination so it wont be to bad Mm mm mmmmmmm this scone and jam are yummy mmmmmm mmmmmmm slurp munch mmm get down dogs im not shareing my scone with you greedy hounds!! mmmmmmmm( i have said before that im a bit daft)

Scones are my absolut favourite. I make a batch each week and freeze, just taking out 2 a day. For the waistline sake. Yours do look soooo good Helen and I'm sure tasted as good as they look. I must say that you are a bit of a dark horse. Besides you being our wine expert, you are doing all that lovely crochet work and now baking good enough to make us drool. What next I wonder!!!
Well, thank you June but I'm afraid my latest crochet project is a bit of a disaster - a sheep which, well, will look like a sheep sort of (in places) but the bobbles are all random instead of even!
However, my sconey after -walk treat for today was completely scrummy....
