I had a cream tea there. Being a typical Japanese tourist, I love afternoon tea thingy, and I visited many places. And their scorns were one of the best scorns in my life. I didn't expect this coming. (Sorry...) I even bought 2 extra to take home. Next day in London, I still had a lovely scorns. The lady was friendly and nice, and the gentleman was the man who baked scorns. Now I regret why I didn't marry Cornish man.....
