I have a tradition of looking for ice cream when I travel and this continued when I was in Cornwall. I also decided to try a cream tea. With the idea of cream in mind I discovered other treats that contained clotted cream such as fudge and shortbread.
It was easy finding all the places I was looking for because of the strategic placement of the signs. There were lots of possibilities and it was difficult to decide where to go but after a good walk it was time to choose. The place that I went for cream tea was very good and I used all the clotted cream and jam on my scone. Soon after the tea it was time for an ice cream cone. After sampling several flavors on tiny spoons I chose vanilla with clotted cream fudge and it was delicious. I should have taken a photo as a souvenir but of course I couldn’t wait to try it.
One of the best things about ice cream is that it is simple to walk around or find a bench outdoors and enjoy a view like this.

I am never one to pass up ice cream either and while on the road it’s a great way to sit, relax and people watch.
