Good to hear you made it home OK, if a bit damp. I guess Ashville got
hammered hard.

Readig the recipe below - I may have mis-spoken about not having had a 
scone. If, in fact, these are scones and not panquakes, as the recipe
author suggests.

      Title: St. Swithin's Drop Scones
 Categories: Five, Breads
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
  4 1/2 oz Self-raising flour
      2 ts Caster sugar
      1 lg Egg; beaten
      2 tb Melted unsalted butter
    150 ml Semi-skimmed milk
 
  Whisk that all up and leave it for a while to be with
  its thoughts. In the meantime peel, core and slice
  (thickly) two large English Bramley apples. Put these in
  a wide heavy based pan with about 4 tbspns of butter and
  the same of sugar (I favour caster but you might want
  something darker), and a little water. Cook over a low
  heat until the apples start to break down and it all
  starts to thicken and caramelise. Avoid stirring as it
  will make the sugar crystalise and the apples break up -
  it's nice to have some chunks. Lightly shake the pan
  instead. You can do all this in advance and then leave
  it.
  
  When ready to make the scones (if you're American you
  might want to call them pancakes) heat a pan/griddle
  relatively hot and use a little butter or light oil
  (less is more here). Then drop in tablespoons of the
  batter and wait until bubbles form, then flip and leave
  for about 30 seconds. Then plate up.
