Today is the first day of cooler weather where I live (Chicago) and it has got me thinking of home and in the mood for tea and crumpets 🙂

What's your favourite treat to enjoy with a cup of tea on autumn afternoons?

Cheese scones (especially homemade) are a real favourite of mine- I must find a recipe! 🙏🏻

Savoury flapjack is yum - absolute go to for feeding young kids/using up ends of cheese in this house (not that there is often spare cheese to use up).

Fruit pie of any kind, which is my own homemade pie because I have food sensitivities. I particularly like mixed berry, peach and apple cranberry.

I spotted Walkers shortbread in Trader Joe's the other day- nothing beats M&S all butter though 🙂 Not yet tried a snickerdoodle but I think I would like them- they have peanut butter, I think?

I've never heard of cinnamon scones before but they sound lovely! Especially homemade ones ☺️
