Blueberry Triangle Scones

Its bucketed with rain all day long on Thursday and still it rains.

One thing all in garden looking nice and lush.

I put some of my fuchsias out in the rain as they do like rainwater .

But they are now back in the greenhouse.

And I potted up my tipsy pots so they are now growing in greenhouse until time to put outdoors.

Then I came in and made blueberry triangle scones
