What a glorious day for #NationalCreamTeaDay? Good excuse to pop into a stately home for a nosey.

An illustration of two halves of a plain scone. The left has strawberry jam on the base and then a big dollop of clotted cream on top, and the other has a thick layer of cream smeared on the bottom and a dollop of jam on top. The left is labelled with a small cocktail stick Cornwall flag, and the right with that of Devon. Both scone halves sit on white saucers with a cornflower blue gingham rim.

Are you Team Cream on Top or Team Jam on Top? #NationalCreamTeaDay

Roddas clotted cream, of course!

As it's now teatime on #NationalCreamTeaDay, we'll just leave this here 😋

Yours, #Devon 😉

In the NT Research Team, we like our scones with a side of #NationalCreamTeaDay facts! Here are some of our favourites:
1. Queen Elizabeth II liked her scone jam first, then cream. (We're still on the fence.)
2. The first use of the phrase 'cream tea' dates from 1931 and included bread and butter.

Four ladies sit around a table laid out for afternoon tea, with crockery and plates of cakes and sandwiches. They are in a room with sunlight streaming through the window. The walls are covered in wallpaper and the mantlepiece has a large mirror above and a mantelpiece cloth along it. Image courtesy of www.picturethepast.org.uk

On #NationalCreamTeaDay we join the Clarkstone family of Holloway as they sit down for a spot of afternoon tea in the early 1900s. Another scone with jam and cream anyone?

We are looking at a plate with a fruit scone, clotted cream, jam and a knife. The plate is on a patch of lush green grass.

Happy #nationalcreamteaday

We like to eat ours on the grass so that we are at one with nature.

Oh you like to eat yours in a museum cafe at a table?

Each to their own. 🤷

pile of scones in a cabinet. Scrabble tiles spell out - Cream Tea?

For #NationalCreamTeaDay, after much research, Moley’s conclusion is *enjoy it your way* - #CreamFirst is historic, #JamFirst is modern, so it all depends on whether you prefer a cart horse or a racing car.

A plate with scone cut in two. One half has jam then cream, the other cream then jam. By the plate are two pots with the jam and cream. A tea cup is just in view too

Just wanted to draw your attention to this important calendar date.

It’s #NationalCreamTeaDay.

Today's #FunFactFriday lands on #nationalcreamteaday! While there’s much debate around which goes first (a dispute dividing Cornwall and Devon), etiquette gurus Debrett's say you should spread your jam before dolloping cream on top...and we'll leave it there!

There's a writing prompt if ever you needed one 😄

Use of squirty cream for a cream tea #NationalCreamTeaDay

Sadly we're a divided nation. Let's get together & finally reach an agreement on whether it's pronounced scone or scone
