Cornish Cream Tea @ The Eden Project


Sometimes it's the simple things in life that bring the greatest pleasure. 
Take a freshly baked scone, still warm from the oven and slather it with a 
generous dollop of clotted cream and a spoonful of raspberry jam... Heaven.


We visited The Eden Project last summer during a particularly rainy 
camping trip around Devon and Cornwall. I'm not sure if it was our
beautiful surroundings or the 20 minutes of uninterrupted sunshine that we 
experienced here, but this was hands down the most incredible
scone that I've ever had. 




**  As far as I know the jury is still out on whether or not Cornwall can in fact lay claim to the ingenious combination of scone, clotted cream and jam or if Devon really got there first, but heck who cares when it tastes this good!
