Scones with clotted Devonshire-Cream (no recipe)

Last week I have been to a shop, that sells english food. Like Cheese melts and scones and Cadbury-Chocolate. And some Irisch, Schotisch and American articles as well. I felt in need of an uplift and so I undulged myself a little.
Among the things I bought where scones and the Devonshire clotted cream. Usually one eats that with jam or marmalade, but since I have neither in my flat, I used honey instead and I can say, that that is very tasty as well. But maybe one can have the scones just with the cream?

And now for something completely different:
yesterday I went to a very!!! early morning service and a very long one in my congregation. I suppose, that our reverend was in seventh heaven. He is not usually suffered to hold such long survices. But at easter, we put up with is. "We" meaning the people, who would get along with 45 Minutes just fine. But I do realise, that there are people in the world, who think only two hours a very short affair. I do not have the patience for it. I admit it.

At any rate, this service is very special, because it starts before dawn and the atmosphere is really nice. It was worth getting up about two hours before being awake. Especially with turning the clock ahead an hour. So we did not start at 5.30 am, but at 4.30 am, whatever the clock said.

The reverend was worried, that due to the turning of the clock, there wouldn't be a good attendance, but I have never seen the church this full out of the christmas-service or the summer-fête. We were sitting in over six rows. When it started, several years back, we sat in a one row circle of chairs. But the numbers could not diminish the charm of the service.
Afterwards there is a breakfast with everything one likes. Usually I attend that, but this year we had a breakfast at my parents house. So I went to my flat and my sister and her daughter to theirs. Our dad picked us up and we drove to my parents house.

Due to the SNOW my mom was worried about hiding the easter-eggs outside, but it didn't keep, so it was possible.
Now, I did write here, how much I like snow. And even yesterday I could enjoy the beauty of the big fluffy flakes, but honestly: it is April now and was march yesterday, I think it is time now to stop the snow and start spring!

On that note: Enjoy Spring!!
