Our family have always made a big thing of pancake day or Shrove Tuesday and yesterday was no exception.

ReplyDeleteMmmm, haven't had pancakes for a long while. I seem to remember when me and Phil were little that we used to eat 15 pancakes each! It used to be a competition for who could eat the most, so 5 each doesn't seem so bad. I think I might have to make some at the weekend....
ReplyDeleteLooks like it will be pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next few weeks.
