In addition to Downton Abbey, if anyone is craving a period show with wonderful clothing and jewelry, check out The House of Eliott.

I wish I could see this display, but you took excellent pictures and I enjoyed it vicariously.

Proper tea with scones and clotted cream is one of the pleasures I miss most about living in Britain. Devon cream is occasionally found here but it's not the same.Thanks for all the scrumptious eye candy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06575401642213900349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-1845421649559275922014-09-19T00:59:20.000-04:002014-09-19T00:59:20.000-04:00The biggest thing I missed after our visit to the ...The biggest thing I missed after our visit to the UK was clotted cream and realising if I don't ever go back I won't ever have it again. I hunted high and low to see if I could get it here in Australia, but no. It's cream, but is the consistency of butter.<br />We also had a funny incident in the UK when we went to a little cafe where we were ordering a "cream tea" which in Australia is called a Devonshire Tea (a pot of tea with two scones and jam cream) and my partner kept insisting and then getting angry because when the waitress was saying "cream tea" he thought they were going to put cream in his tea, instead of milk, which is yuck because I've tried it. I had to calm him down and explain a "cream tea" is a Devonshire tea and they're not going to put cream in your tea, they'll put milk, so it's all good. It's one of the few times I've ever seen him blush, he was so embarrassed, the waitress thought he was a loon.<br />We stopped one day at a beautiful home called Waddesdon, a French chateau home in Somerset, I think, and there was a film crew there, which I was really annoyed about at the time, but then months later I found out they were filming Downton Abbey. It was the bit in the first season when Mary was going to marry the newspaper man and he took her to see the house he wanted to buy for them to live in. I was so chuffed when I found that out, although it would have been amazing to see Lady Mary. I was still annoyed they left their trucks right in front of the home so we couldn't get a good photo, lol, but anyway....Vickie ~ Mademoiselle*Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400837095194285582noreply@blogger.com
