Rose said they used to hold dandelions under their chin to see if they liked butter; we did that with buttercups. If you liked butter, you'd get a yellow reflection on your skin. Pretty impossible not to get a yellow reflection so it was probably a marketing ploy by dairy farmers.While I was there I made some scones so we could have genuine Devonshire clotted cream, jam and strawberries.
And I can't post about a visit to Devon without a photo of Grand-Daughter. She's 5 months old now and is growing so fast! She had her first swimming lesson on Wednesday but she spent the time looking around rather than splashing. Born nosey. It runs in the family.

My gosh! 5 months already! Time passes far too quickly...we used to play that game with buttercups, too.
Those scones look scrumptous!
That dandelion looks uncommonly perfect... perhaps it is a designer version, put there to mark the Almighty's Spring Collection... quite unlike the dandelions of my childhood...
***Love the new dotty background by the way!***
I can almost taste those scones!
Just in the time we don't see her she grows more, leslie.
Thank you, furtheron.
It does look amazingly perfect, gledwood.
Come and visit, cherrypie!
Aw, look at that little face!

Ha, yes! LOL!
Those scones look wonderful!
She just gets cuter and cuter!
Some homeowners here in the US spend a fortune on lawn care trying to get rid of dandelions, but I secretly think they are pretty, too, Liz. I much prefer these yellow blooms to all the other weeds I have:)
