Hi John - looks like I'll have to prepare a journey across the pond just to have a clotted cream tasting comparison - suggestions for locations anyone ? Does the type of grass or breed of bovine make a difference in the final product ??
Perhaps a book deal and film could come of this.
I could be so okay with that. :0D
Thanks for stopping by - outstanding images, BTW.

Lol ! Happy cows - great clotted cream. Raise a glass to your local dairyman today. I wish I were in the UK right now. Swelter weather is here in Fla. 92 F predicted today. I am jealous of my 'snow bird' neighbors who sensibly leave the sunshine state at this time and live in the northern climes until Sept./October, when they come back to enjoy the holidays in 70 - 80 F weather.
Still, mustn't grumble. LIFE IS GOOD !! have a great day John.

Hello friends, I must apologize for not posting pictures yet. Last night I was reviewing all of my photos from the UK, and there are dozens and dozens - with so many happy memories. The catch is, yours truly is not technically adroit and is finding her way to posting some of these photos here. Will work diligently on this task, and have a great weekend ! Sincerely, Chris

Oh I am almost too embarrassed to even say 'thank you' - I think I knew how to do this several years ago - but am now intimidated by the 'new file, name this, put it where ??' type of choices - questions. However - I shall perservere and not let the chicken heart in me have the last cluck !

Thanks for the cheering on, John :0)

Hello Chris, from a fellow Gregory.  I'm in Arizona.  Hope you're still around.  I'm like you, a confirmed anglophile and would be ready to take the pond jump at a moment's notice.

Keep coming around - lovely bunch of people here.

Hi John!  I find the same in all the Brits I've met (a few of them  from this forum actually) when we were last over there in 2009.  We're long overdue for another visit.

Thanks for the kind words, John.

Welcome Chris...have visited the sunshine state four times...from clear across the country...Oregon..USA.  Only four times but about an month or so coming and going. I am an genealogist and am always looking people up enroute. Though my sister's best freind finsished off her nursing degree in St. Petersburg many years ago...then moved back here again. Look forward to seeing your pictures.
