Scones - ENGLAND

Today it was such a beautiful sunny day, I went for a walk down the canals to feed the ducks, it felt like such a lazy Sunday day (yes I'm aware it's Friday), that I decided scones and jam for lunch would be perfect. The weather here in Scotland doesn't stay sunny for long so we had an afternoon picnic inside with fresh mint tea and Turkish jam my friend brought back from Istanbul.
