After work in Kent, I enjoyed a delicious ’Waitrose’ Cream Tea for £2.95 (well, it was either doughnuts and muffins again). Actually, perhaps other people were asking about it as I feel this addition was fairly recent. It was interesting seeing that a number of other customers were buying it too.

The scones were lovely and fresh (do they make it themselves?) and the cream was real Cornish Clotted Cream. However, they made a ’faux pas’ by serving ‘French’ strawberry jam (it even had no lumpy bits!). Why can’t they have chosen ’proper’ jam?!
