(April 30)
Scones with jam and cream – that’s what the sign said. We’d been on the road since 6 AM so at 9 AM we figured it was time to take a break and check out what was on offer. A 5km dirt track lead us to the Ellenbrae Homestead. There was an 800 year old boab in the yard, double-barred finches at the bird feeder, hedges of bougainvillea and a terrace with large slabs of cooling stone on the floor. It was here, surrounded by lush vegetation, that we were indeed served fresh-out-of-the-oven English scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream. A charming, homey and soothing surprise on a long dusty road.

I am really enjoying your travel stories and photos. I keep wishing I could just be dropped into any one of the sites you are visiting. Keep having fun, and keeping us informed. Wynne
ReplyDeleteHi Aileen & Barney
ReplyDeleteWe are really enjoying following your travels - and seeing all the wonderful pics.
I think you must have arrived in Malaysia by now - incidentally my (Janet's) Dad was born in Jesselton, North Borneo (that was) - his father was a magistrate there.
Love Janet & Tom
