Exeter Away: 22nd April

[Keith]

Mrs F. quite fancies a long weekend away in April. She's always wanted to go to the Eden Project, so we're tentatively thinking, drive down on Friday, hotel in Exeter Friday & Saturday, move a bit closer to Eden Project on the Sunday & Monday nights, then drive back up on Tuesday. But before we decide, we've some important questions that need answering.

Are any of you fellow reds planning a weekender?
Do any of you seasoned travellers have a recommendation for accommodation down there?
To avoid awkward social faux pas, do you put cream or jam on the scone first?

Although I live down here I cannot help with the question of accommodation as we do not stay at any but I can help with the last one. In Devon it's cream first then jam and in Cornwall it's the other way around.
Cornish always have to be different.........and they sure are

Quite a few going to Exmouth with T Travel. Its Easter holidays so if you are looking for a bargain theres not much about.
We normally do jam, but are quite easily pursuaded otherwise

The big question is is it pronounced scon or scone?

Well, when you consider it's the fastest cake in the world, it's pretty obvious!
