How do you eat yours? Jam or cream first? Whatever way I am sure you agree these scones look delicious. They were baked especially for the clients of the Cottage who enjoyed them very much. #delicious #afternoontea

Doesn't Tricia and Dianne two of our staff members from our Cottage Club look glamorous? They attended the Queen's Garden Party at Holyrood Palace recently. It was even more of an honour to attend this year as the Queen celebrates her Platinum Jubilee. #queensgardenparty
