I agree with all of you guys and what wonderful memories. But the post that made me laugh with fond memories was lovtotravel with the scones. We enjoyed a delicious cream tea in Selworthy,Devon(please correct me if that is not right)many years ago. My husband who can eat anything and lots of it,looked at me and said quite seriously" I am very full,I dont think I can eat anything for a few hours"! He had polished off most of the clotted cream tea. Needless to say..He ate dinner!And a few English bitters.
