What a lovely setting with a lush cream tea!! The reason British butter/cream is slightly yellow is that the majority of our cows are fed on grass outside...Rather than on grain....🐄🐄🐄🐄🐄

I've lived in England all my life when i was young i just didn't really notice all the beautiful old buildings and rolling hills, I'm 67 now and love watching your video's, your appreciation of this country has made me take more notice and realise how lucky i am to have been born here, its your home as well as our history's are so entwined.

What a lovely video Dara, how sweet to take Tracy for tea. I almost chocked when your husband put clotted cream in his tea, oh my it curdled, it must have tasted revolting, bless him, he didn’t want to offend anyone. I hope Tracy had a great time.
-
Jam, cream and scones brilliant I like them with just a ordinary cup of tea.
-
Such a gorgeous video Dara. I can sense your pride in showing your friends the beauty of the Cotswolds. If they didn't before, they will now surely understand why you and Ian spend half the year in the UK. I know there is a lot of scenic beauty in the USA, but, as your friend said, there's nowhere like the Cotswolds there. It's the history with the beauty that makes it so special.

Ps, Dara, so glad you're home with Ian . A pleasure to meet your friend too 🧡
-
I can't thank you enough for making my country look so wonderful.

What a wonderful video! My mother, who was not British, was a massive fan of cream teas and would take visitors - ALL visitors - to one of the many cream tea places she knew in the southeast of England. The reaction was identical to that on this video! As her life drew to a close, she would get someone to buy scones, good jam and clotted cream from the supermarket and place all that in front of visitors to her in the home, along with a pot of tea. Magnifique! Wunderbar! Mmm! and so on.

What a gorgeous setting for someone's first cream tea! Look forward to seeing a sat on a drizzly promenade eating fish and chips video!
-
Cream tea, beaut setting AND sunny weather !
-
Absolutely gorgeous setting which to enjoy it too! Lovely time, Dara, Ian, Tracy and Brett.
-
This was such a beautiful setting. I can’t wait to go back and do it again!
-
Clotted cream is made from the cream from the milk of grass-fed Jersey cows. That may account for the difference in taste when trying to make it in the States.

The Epitome of England. Afternoon tea and a superb view.
-
The benefit of so much rain in the UK is that beautiful green grass and trees
-
Jam first and then a heaped dollop of cream 👌🏻

I'm not sure if you know but those mushroom shaped stones are "Staddle Stones" They were used to support a granary off the ground to keep damp and vermin out.

HI Dara, my son and family sent me a voucher for an afternoon luxury tea at the Avisford Park Hotel and it was yummy! We got a window table so we looked at the lovely garden and had fun naming the chirping birds outside. I would far rather have a voucher for 2 people for a cream tea or an afternoon luxury tea than get a present! I put my cream on the scone first as reminds me more of putting butter on first! Love from Sussex

I hope your friends had a wonderful visit, looking forward to the next video. :)

Scones are so cheap and easy to make - and grey freeze well. Just add cream, jam and tea ( it has to be tea as it's more refreshing with a dry-ish scone)
