My contribution to International Scone week, another ingenious idea from Ceilia at Fig Jam and Lime Cordial and her friends Heidi and Joanna. Enjoy!
We have just returned from a short break exploring the bleak and beautiful scenery of Dartmoor as well as Devon’s stunning coastline. Parkers Farm (www.parkersfarmcottages.co.uk) is a family holiday park that I have been visiting with since I was a child. I have used it as a base in the winter months for white water kayaking trips with my husband and some of our more mentally unhinged friends.
With the rivers being low in the summer we decided to do some sea kayaking just out of Dartmouth. One of the reasons I love sea kayaking is that like caving or mountain climbing, it is one of the few ways you can truly escape from everyone and everything in todays modern world. I also have a strange fascination with sea caves and lighthouses which I blame on reading too many of Enid Blyton’s Famous Five books as a kid. It is

I love lighthouses too – we have quite a few in Michigan 🙂
Looks yummy. I’ll be working on a scone recipe this week as well. My boys look forward to sampling, hope they turn out!
I look forward to reading your scone post. Emma.
Absolutely charming – they look delicious, and so fresh !
Sometimes, I go in Dinard ( Brittany, France) to a small restaurant who offers home-made scones, salted or plain. The quality is the same and the yopend 4 or 5 years ago.
Scones are delightful, warm, with butter, home-made marmalade… and warm chocolate, perfect in autumn; or by fres weather.
Thank your for sharing.
Il did not know there was en Interational scone week; thank you too for this nice new.
There isn’t an official international scone week. A few food bloggers made it up for a laugh so I have joined in the fun. I agree scones are best warm straight from the oven. The restaurant in Dinard sounds wonderful. I am glad you enjoyed the post. Emma.
I am so sorry for my mistakes !!!
Please don’t apologise. Your English is far far better than my French. I only remember a little bit from school. Take care. Emma.
It is too kind of you ! Thank you.
The nice place in Dinard is ” The Balneum”, quiet, with a terrace, a cosy place.
I am dreaming of warm scones… they serve with cream – but I ask for butter…salted butter.
This ” international week of scones” is really a delightful idea.
What about ” Madeleines ” week ?!!
Do have an happy day
G’day! I love lighthouses too! They always brighten my day!
Viewed via Celia’s International Scone Week!
Cheers! Joanne
