An Anniversary - with Jam and Cream

I haven't said very much to you about it yet, I suppose because there is just so much going on. Major changes are afoot. But I must talk with you, because we are coming upon a one year anniversary together. The anniversary of the appearance of the SconeLady!

It all began because I was planning a trip back to England, to seek out the very best, most tasty scone along the journey; to walk many miles along the way; and to get to know you, my dear Readers as I travel. And one year later, I am going there once again! It is so exciting to think about it, to plan for it, and to anticipate all that will come my way during it. The stay will be 5 weeks, and I can't wait.

September 15 marks one year of the SconeLady's adventures. Although they may not sound very adventurous to some, they have been fabulously satisfying for me. Flying to beloved England is a high point for one who adores scones, and appreciates the best. 

If you wish, take a moment to re-read the very first blog post - September 15, 2013. It begins,

"It is hard to imagine how any trip could possibly be as enjoyable as the anticipation and planning of it! I have had so much fun scheming and plotting that I feared the actuality must fall short somehow."

But the reality of that trip was every bit as wonderful as the anticipation. And I trust it will again. 

So here's to packing light, Rick Steves style; to flights that leave you jet lagged and befuddled; to walking tours that are sure to include cows and their 'residuals'; to friend Rosie and her lovely home; and above all, to scones that are light, fresh, warm, and piled high with jam and cream. And! to great, long afternoon teas while listening to the dignified chatter of other scone lovers.

So come along with me, dear Readers! Come and find me each day, here, and simply 'click' to peruse the gentle wanderings of the one, the only, SconeLady.

You are always welcome here.


See you along the way!
the SconeLady

Just watch for the purple umbrella
