BRITISH ISLES #5

We had a couple days in Leyton, Devon & stayed  at  another  lovely  B&B .   We got in some good hikes ,  including  one up the river gorge   to  a famous  place  for  'cream tea', which we treated ourselves to before  heading  back  down  to  the  ocean .    Cream tea consists of simple tea, served with a plain  scone  and jams  &  clotted  cream  -- this is heavy cream that is prepared  in a manner that  renders  it  sweet &  thick ,  spreadable  & about the consistency  of  soft cream cheese .   It is oh so good   -- rich, calorie  &  cholesterol  laden! Cream tea is NOT  about the tea, it is about the clotted cream .
