1. Delightful walk along the beach at Perranporth, lots of windsurfers and hangliders and one little chap with his Dad flying a kite.
Hang gliders over Perranporth
2. On to Chapelporth for a cream tea. It’s P’s last day and he hasn’t had a cream tea yet so I made scones this morning and packed up a picnic of scones, strawberry freezer jam and Rodda’s Clotted Cream. We bought our teas from the cafe and took our goodies up the cliff walk.
3. P is taking us out for a special meal tonight as a thank you for his ‘brilliant’ stay with us.

Scones, real scones. Not like those sold in our neck of the U.S. woods, sprinkled liberally with sugar or frosted like a heavy snowstorm. Plain, unadorned scones,just as I love them. Will you share a recipe with us?

Us Americans are barbarians…we don’t use cream – 😀 Dare I admit this, although I do not do this, but people put butter on scones – that is it. I usually put jam but I did try the cream and I much prefer the cream, I made my own Clotted cream but it was heaven on my British Tea Cakes and scones. I will have to try it with both the next time I have some. But cream on top..got it!! 😉 I am going to be able to order correctly by time we get to England, thanks to you I will know what is good – which so far is just about everything I have seen on your post!!

My Mum used to make her own clotted cream too but in those days I didn’t like cream!! My choice then, and I still love them, is scone with nothing but butter.
You may have read in the comments that I incurred wrath by putting the jam on top! I’ll put up a proper Cornish scone tonight to assuage things. 🙂

🙂 Here in Pennsylvania they also put butter on their bagels…coming from a German mother and living in New Jersey for a few years, I know that is a sin, it has to be a “smear” of cream cheese!! LOL Just teasing…truthfully I enjoy hearing new food dishes and/or different ways to prepare old favorites. I have found some very delicious recipes that way. And I would not have known about the cream if I did not try it. Glad you will put up a proper Cornish scone tonight!! Now I am hungry for tea biscuits I may have to visit the bakery tomorrow morning!!

We learned about bagels and cream cheese when we visited Arizona, love them like that! Even put cream cheese with croissants sometimes now! Bet that’s not right! 🙂

Don’t know if it is right or not, but I do the same thing!

those scones look delightful, I have a serious craving for scones with whipped cream and jam right now!! Wonderful to see someone flying a kite. I like to think that every child flies a kite at least once in their life, but in reality I think very few these days. It’s a tradition here in Japan to fly a kite on New Year’s day. This year I brought my then 2 year old son to an open space to try it out and he loved it; although the kite nearly took off with him at one stage!!

It was delightful to see the little boy having fun with his Dad. We have flown a kite with our Grandson but you are right , they are not seen around as much these days.
I hope you are doing okay as these last weeks go by – nearly there! 🙂

nothing prettier than a kite in flight; nothing more delicious than cream tea

Rather disappointed to see Jam on top of cream, Sally. Isn’t that the Devonian way?

What is this heresy? Jam on top? No, no, no…… 😎 Shelagh.

If we’d put my very runny freezer jam underneath, the cream would have slid right off! 🙂

Good excuse to put more cream on then, imo. LOL.
