Hmmm Scones...

Unless we plan an action packed weekend, otherwise, London can be quite dull sometimes. (I will get to the scones, read on...)

We planned to drive to Windsor last Sunday about a week and a half ago, thinking that we will get there early, have a swim, wander around and maybe say hello to the Queen if she is "hanging out" in the Windsor Castle.

It was a great plan until it started snowing heavily on Sunday morning?! Now that we are stuck at home, what can we do? Perhaps, build a snowman? No, too cold! Go to a museum? No, takes too long on the tube!! Go shopping? No, too heavy to carry the shopping around! Arrr... what else can we do? Watch DVDs at home maybe?

When we are feeling sorry for ourselves not being able to go, the snowing started to ease a little. So, we decided to carry on with the original plan... (except it is 1.5 hrs late, but who cares!!)

It took less than an hour to drive to Windsor, no traffic whatsoever! ( I guess everyone else stayed at home to watched DVDs!! Ha Ha!). We ended up having late morning tea in a very traditional looking cafe near Windsor Castle, window shopping at Windsor Royal Shopping Centre, had a two hours lunch at Latino Restaurant, went to Eton College and was amazed by the beautiful Eton College Chapel.

Eton College Chapel. It reminds me of the magic school main hall in Harry Porter.

Out of all these activities, I like the morning tea the most simply because of the scones. My experience with scones are mostly from bakeries all around NZ, they are alright, nothing special. I had scones in the US where they call them biscuits, but I am not a big fan of them. However, my Aunt Lucia in Sydney makes very very yummy cheese scones, very moist and tasty.

The scone I had in the little Windsor cafe is completely different though! It is warm, very soft, it tastes wonderful when you put cream and jam on it and it melts in your mouth! The texture of the scone was perfect!! It was so good that I have eaten half of Mas's scone as well!!

With a cup of tea, there were nothing more I can ask for! Hmmm...scones

The perfect scones served in a little cafe near Windsor Castle.

It might sound crazy, but I would consider going back to Windsor soon just to have the scones. This time, I will have at least two scones all by myself!! Sweet?
