Method

Place blueberries in a saucepan with sugar and lemon juice and cook over low heat until sugar dissolves and berries release juice, remove from heat and cool.
Cut the sponge into cubes and place in serving bowl.
Pour the blueberries over the sponge, keeping two tbsp back for decoration.
Put lemon curd in a bowl and stir in the cream, it should thicken almost immediately. Pour over the sponge and blueberries, then chill (you can prepare this the day before).
