Every year,
on a weekend late in August,
The Old Convent* Annual Scone Competition
is held at my folks' place.
It’s a serious event.
Secret recipes.
Blind judging.
Grand prizes.
Bribery & corruption.
As the inaugural champion
(some years ago now)
I’m in serious training
to take the title back.

It's a wonderful rambling old place,
complete with a church and priest's cottage.
Chief scone maker. Not a title to be sneered at. That's some serious 'lightweight' scone bout you've got on your hands.
ReplyDeleteYum! They do look good. Scones are always a bit of a challenge for me, but I must say, I think I made my best yet yesterday! What's your secret to a good scone...though I understand if you'd like to keep it to yourself, that's one serious competition you've got on your hands...
ReplyDeleteThey look fabulous- I made some last week and they disappeared the same day! Sounds like it was a delicious day! xo m.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tradition. And god, how I love a scone, jam and cream. Just has some for morning tea, as a matter of fact! x
