In the gym, we occasionally get asked this question, “I’m making scones today, would you like to order some?”, and the unanimous response would be ayes. F, the lady who makes the best british scones in town, made a batch yesterday, forewarning us that it may be a while before she bakes again, as her helper is leaving and a replacement is yet to be found. It could have been my imagination but I think everyone ordered just slightly more than their usual quantity….kia su much?
Of course I ordered, and the goodies were delivered today. Whilst panting away at the Summit trainer, I was already planning to drop in to Cold Storage to see if clotted cream is in stock (yes, we don’t have the luxury of having such items in stock at all times, somewhat a blessing). As I walked into Cold Storage, I noticed that the whole cold section where the cheeses and creams are normally shelved, were completely empty!! (A sign said that section was under repair or something to that extent.) Darn! No luck today then. But I turned a corner, and there they were, all sitting pretty, waiting to be picked. There is a chance for Devonshire tea after all.
I am not a tea drinker, favouring coffee, so it was Devonshire tea sans tea.
Of course Ms Totally Spoilt had the first bite!
I supposedly burned 386 calories this morning, but I am sure I shored up more than that, with a single scone! What’s life without some indulgence thrown in, every once in a while eh?
