In the US, scones gravitate towards winter. On cold December afternoons, we huddle around these bundles of warmth, hot out of the oven, the air jingling with the anticipation of the Holidays. In the UK, it is quite the opposite. Summer is the season. Scones get dressed up with cream and jam, accompanied by cucumber sandwiches (and the cricket commentators on Radio 4, but that's off the point!).
Next week, we start our summer season. Every Tuesday, we are going to be at The Market at Pen Park, Charlottesville's new outdoor market, that runs from 3pm - 7pm. Come and see us, and get a taste of British summer, hopefully without the rain!
