I travelled to the UK this summer and had my first ever afternoon tea with a scone, and it was absolutely delicious I figured I'd try make my own last weekend. I might have broken a few rules maybe - I found a tonne of random <a href="http://www.sconerecipe.org/blueberry_scones/" rel="nofollow">scone recipes</A> here and made 4 different types! My friends were so happy when I brought them round for tea and scones, complete with real whipped cream. Great fun! Lovely stuff!

I am so glad I took the time to visit this time around. Before I visited the Minster on this occasion it was before 1981 when I last visited. I am so glad I took the time to visit this time around.

It has been absolutely ages since we visited (would you believe 1981!). We missed the gardens then. The Fat Rascals sound perfect on a gloomy day. The Minster looks lovely.

There were quite a few grey ones though and one got rather 'too' close for comfort. That will teach me to linger and take photos of them ;-) Sadly I didn’t see any red ones which is a shame I am rather fond of them.

One instalment of the the holiday left and then I shall post a bit more history about some of the places.

I remember sitting on a bench similar to that one and watching a couple of them "squirrelling away." They seemed awfully busy. :) see any red squirrels?

It feels like it is alive. I have the book 'The Pillars of the Earth' which is about building a cathedral, I really must get around to reading it.
