WONDERFUL on scones, and it's got that great short o sound to boot.
Fortunately, jennarenn's waistline is not affected by her wordie comments. When posting becomes caloric, she'll be in trouble. ;)

hernesheir commented on the word clotted cream
A work colleague imported Devonshire cream especially for a tea-with-scones break held today. Scones fresh-baked by Anglophile colleagues. Antique tea sets, cups and saucers, and fine linen napkins, cucumber sandwiches, petits fours. Nice.
