When we were young, my brother, cousin, and I would rope in my mum and my aunt to help us serve cream teas at our local Scout hut. Missing my mum very much today, so this scone (from a packet given to me by a dear friend) was just the thing to unlock some happy memories of her this afternoon.

A raisin scone topped with butter and strawberry jam is on a plate, set against a backdrop of potted plants.
