On the way back from a lovely day out at Lizard Point & Kynance Cove, we fancied a typical English Cream Tea - fresh homemade scones, jam, and lashings of thick clotted cream! I remembered on the way in seeing a sign for such a place (the kind of things I do remember!), and so at the turning for Sue's Farmhouse Cream Teas we turned off...
Once more, we seemed to be heading down a road which had some potholes, though which was better then the B&B one! It threatened to go on forever, but eventually we came to a halt at a farm. There was a farmhouse with tables & chairs leaning on them - the weather had been a bit 'iffy'...and there was a small hut with some people sitting there, so we figured it was open for business. However, as we exited the car we discovered just how fresh this farmhouse cream tea was! It stank, as you would expect the cattle-shed (right next door) to stink! :-o The air was thicker than the promised clotted cream.
But our appetites got the better of our noses and so we went into the hut. We joined another couple (from Portsmouth) who were finishing off their tea, and we met Sue, a lovely friendly lady!
We made a lot of jokes which she took in good fun...for example, we wondered if we had to milk the cows (clearly visible over the fence) ourselves! Was is the coffee that was smelling a bit strong?!
But - this WAS worth it :-)

And don't just take my word for it!
