One thing that has always appealed to me is having coffee and a fancy pastry in an outdoor setting for breakfast. For various reasons, I rarely do so.

After baking scones, I served up some quality control and settled down for a rest. Jackie’s scone has clotted cream and strawberry jam. My scone (off-camera) just has clotted cream. 📷 #mfeb

Jackie: It’s not unexpected. I was just in there before you brought coffee.
Me: I didn’t say it was unexpected. I said it was frightening.
