At the moment, none. :( We had 4 up until recently when Mr Fox decided to drop by. Very unusual that, I've never seen a fox around here, country foxes are far too wary of people for that, plus with all the pheasants around here they never need to work very hard for a meal.

Anyway, we had one each of Sussex Ranger, Pied Ranger, Speckledy and a Goldline. Just for eggs, not meat. The Speckledy was a damned nuisance, broody as anything. I was really tempted to wring its neck. The others were brilliant, in total we got probably 20+ eggs a week from the 4 of them.

Will get some new ones later this spring, not the Speckledy though.

I finally found a jar of Devon Cream (from Wiltshire :lol:) in Sobeys.

So I went back to the bakery area to buy some scones.

My new luxury. :thumbup:

No, I can get Gruyère easily enough. Expensive though. But it doesn't go on a scone with strawberry jam as well Devon Cream does.

May I suggest that you're buying the wrong scones and/or jam?

Or maybe that Gruyère comes from China? ;)

Are you one of those weirdos that puts jam and cheese together? ;)

Was that before bacon and ice cream or after? :lol:

I have a pot of fig cabernet jam and the label says have it with cheese. I can't bring myself to do it. :unsure:

Yum, figs. I think they go with everything. Conference pears are lovely on a cheese board too.

It is. It's one of the things my ex brings from Switzerland. That and Cailler wrappers (to make it clear that she hasn't forgotten how much I like the chocolate and that she hasn't brought any).
