Strawberries and cream
Beautiful weather in England. I spent a lot of today lazing around outside. The neighbors gave us a bowl of strawberries from their garden; Mel whipped some cream and we indulged in that traditional summertime activity in England -- eating scones with strawberries and cream.

The weather has been stunning! There was only one day with any rain the entire time R&L were here, which put us at 15 straight days of sun and warmth without any oppressive heat. Perfect.
The scones look scrummy - btw do you say scone with a long o like the americans, or with that quasi-schwa sound that english people do? Ask Mel to say it and please report back!
Not only do I say it the American way, but I've always said it that way.
But you do think it's the american way and that most english people say it differently?
I never really thought about it until you mentioned it.
I learned the word from my mother (a solicitor's daughter, if we're going to be classist about it) and if it's good enough for her, it's good enough for me.
