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!

 

Step House Hotel.

We went for our first family Sunday jaunt out of the city yesterday
 and ended up in Borris, Co. Carlow.
 We stopped by the wonderful Step House Hotel for lunch and 

I just had to share a couple of photos of our incredible desserts.

I had the 70% Chocolate Pavé with Roast Banana, Peanut Butter Ice-cream and Kahlua Syrup

 My other half had the White Chocolate Delice with Passionfruit Sorbet, Roasted Peaches and Mango Pureé.

The rest of our lunch was pretty amazing too, although I scoffed the lot before I remembered to take my camera out!...oh well there's always next time.
