Best date scones yet?

Tried again what we did in Blenheim last visit which was to melt golden syrup in the milk then soak the dates. Not bad! Definitely more datey tasting and no scone horrors. Also decided to get out the ancient perc pot for coffee as the Mister hadn’t seen it before. It’s almost as old as me and the smell of coffee in the house brought back smell memories of being a kid when Mum and Dad had their Jaycee friends over for dinner. Only used it once though because the coffee I can get out of our old espresso machine that now lives up here tastes better.
