This afternoon, our Time to Talk cake and coffee hour was a hit, with scones topped with cream and jam and some delicious homemade cakes🧁 The main topic of conversation? A very competitive debate ... You guessed it: Jam first, then cream or cream first, then jam? After some spirited discussions around the table, we discovered that the "Buckingham Palace" method is to put the jam first, then the cream. So, we guess that must be the rule, right? 😆 Everyone took the time to take a break from their busy day to connect with each other and discuss things other than work. It was a fun and light-hearted way to bring everyone together, and we’re proud to keep the conversation going as part of Time to Talk Day!💬 #TimeToTalkDay2025 #TimeToTalk #Construction #CivilEngineering
