Cream Teas


Every year from June to September, on the first Sunday of the month we have cream teas on our church lawn. On offer are scones, with jam and clotted cream, a plethora of home made cakes, and very nice cups of tea or coffee. 


It's always well attended but today saw a bumper crop of  customers. I think it was a combination of it being the last one and lovely warm weather.

Here in the UK at 3pm we received an emergency alert test on our mobile phones. I think it's the first time we've had one of these. It's an important step in keeping people safe during national emergencies. I think it's a good idea.

    1. Hello Beatrice, I think it refers to the clotted cream in the scones.
