Summer sensations Berry farm.

The weather was fierce, the sky was falling lower and lower with every kilometre that passed under us. We were embarking on a vehicle acquisition expedition to ol' Geelong town.  Little did we know that destiny would befall our great plans to purchase a new piston clanking, gas guzzling four wheel buggy from Stuttgart, Germany!

We were nearing the Teesdale city limits an' just as the sky was all but broke, a shining ray of light blinded us when it hit a sign for a turn off to "Summer sensations Berry farm".
Now being a B.O.T.S its engrained in my DNA to source out only the finest of ancillary devices for my SxA journeys.  So with hand brake engaged, left hand down HARD we made it into the car park of this berry haven.
We braved the outer vehicle climate (not to dissimilar to the final summit of Everest!) to the little shop/cafe attached to the berry slaughter house.  It was here I saw my two favourite words (aside from Whis-Key) "Fresh scones" !   Well............ I just had to order me up a scone or two son! 

The White family have had their hands in berry scene of the area since 1844!  So they ought have the process of humanly and calmly slaughtering the berry's to remain their most succulent and tasty.

Just as the best paint in the cosmos can not by itself produce a Edvard Munch, it first must need a canvas on which to live.

The service was super real, nice friendly and down to earth.  Some places these days just feel like you've gone to a used car yard to order up some scones!
Epoch of the scone had commenced.

The aroma was heart warming and beckoned me to just swing the blade and open 'em up for the eat'n.  But first the documentation.  The crust was thick, coming dangerously close to the maximum allowable limits via SxA guidelines.  The fear of coagulating the exterior is the lack of energy transferal to the inner.  Thankfully these scones did not suffer this dreaded fate.  They were fairly consistent as can be seen in the "internal vertical quarter dissection".  The moisture was held with out becoming to heavy and passed the G.R.D.T with 1.9sfR.  

Internal vertical quarter dissection.

So with the scone proving a suitable canvas for the smattering of their berry spreads.  Win Win WIn.  The raspberry and strawberry jams were knocking these scones out of the park!  They were not overtly sweet and still had that great tang that fresh natural berry have, plus their individual overtones were remarkably obvious.  Each one sampled (Raspberry & Blueberry, Strawberry, Raspberry, Raspberry & Merlot) was an exciting adventure that bought back memory's of the times when i was a young cowpoke, experiencing eating berrys for the first time straight of the vine. 

When we walked out of Summer sensations Berry farm the sun had come out and the clouds were receding back to their proper cruising altitude.  With several jars of jam in hand we were back on the road to Geelong for a vehicle acquisition expedition.
