I quite liked this from the "tea" my daughter made yesterday

Is she Cornish?

Haha, Sussex, but with Cornish relatives if that counts

That would explain the jam/cream mistake.

I see no mistake, this was my plate and it all tasted bloody lovely. I've told her to make some more Dreckly

Cream first, then the jam. The cream is in place of butter, and you'd never put jam on your toast first, followed by the butter.

If there is ever a Devon/Cornwall war, this would be the reason.

You can't see the cream under the Jam also so I can ensure upsetting everyone equally

Logic dictates that the densest component goes on first so it wholly depends on the consistency of the cream and jam. Runny jam goes on top, thick jam goes underneath.
You can keep making a mess if you wish. 😉

If you can't see the cream under the jam, you haven't used enough cream.

Pross

Just don't bother with the jam and put some extra clotted cream on it.

If the jam is thicker than proper clotted cream, it would be better used as some sort of colourful building material.

This. The debate is had by people who don't appreciate that they are both wrong.

I've had both versions of clotted cream while in Devon, from smooth to very thick.
The hardest to deal with (and probably more natural) was very thick on top with a thinner layer underneath. A local may be able to explain.

It's nice when the auto focus does the biz on depth of field that you were hoping for...

Ha, as opposed to focusing on the some random road sign as a little FY.

Haha, yes indeed. The autofocus on my Sony is a little annoying, and though I could probably try different settings, I get round it by taking lots of photos and junking the ones that don't work. It's doubly annoying when you have a quick look on the screen and think you've got it right, only to find when you get home that the camera is having a giggle at your ineptitude.

I just switch it off on my phone when trying to focus on anything close up as the focusing elves can't be trusted.

Haha, Sussex, but with Cornish relatives if that counts

On my first visit to Sussex, we stopped in Hurstmonceaux.
We had clotted cream and scones and the waitress was luverly. I was 18 and later moved to Eastbaaaaawn to go to college.
Now my good friend has moved to Hurstmonceaux from Pevensey
I used to cycle through Hurstmonceaux regularly.
I never did 'bump' into that waitress.

I have a friend in Pevensey. Maybe that’s why your one moved. Nice part of the world. Pleasant train ride along the coast from Eastbourne into Hastings passing Cooden beach and Pevensey bay.

I'm not even sure what it's supposed to be, but I saw this little chap for the first time, today, in Exeter Cathedral.

It has hooves. Looks more 🐑 to me. No on closer look there's a third toe so I think PB is right.

There's a long history of that in religion:

Bristol Bath Railway path.

Such a great route to get out of the city and for commuting. Here is a pic from Mangotsfield Station.

It's in Devon, it was probably what the people looked like back then.

No, you were right. I was just not looking closely. Looks like one of those hounds you see at the feet of tomb effigies.

Not often that happens.

Yep, River Lea between the Olympic Park and Hackney Wick.
