Sometimes you need to do something ludicrously decadent to cheer yourself up, or pick up a friend who's having a bad time. Not anything huge - not a magnum of champagne or a weekend away or even a big night out, but a small gesture to say "I'm sorry life's a bit rubbish at the minute. Here's a treat for you."
With that in mind, I bring you Delimann's Devon cream tea with shortbread and fudge. Two huge, freshly baked scones, served with clotted cream and locally made jam, a box of tea, plus shortbread and fudge if you're got room. It's £17.50 and then £3.95 for delivery. Cheap? No. Could you make it cheaper yourself? Probably. An awesome and unexpected thing to give to a friend? Hell yes.
Curl up in a quiet corner, make a fresh pot of tea, pretend you're on holiday, and make your hardest decision whether to put the cream or jam on first.
