Kash flipped the pancakes, Neil brought the wine and the Scottish jokes, the batter chilled on the balcony, BH brought some tipsy banter and we mixed the batter sans whisk although someone went to other flats in the building asking for one - how neighbourly!

It took about 4 hours to make pancakes for all but they were delicious and it was good fun. Real pics to come as ours were more like crepes than the fluffy buttermilk ones in the pic above.

Now what are you giving up for Lent? Kash is giving up chips, crisps, biscuits and sweets (and she is doing the Three Peaks Challenge)- I am going for chocolate, crisps and biscuits and others at work were trying to figure out what they were going to give up today. Vicki said she was giving up -going out to eat- but she said that as we were at Dim T restaurant at lunch?! I guess she starts Lenten sacrifices a day later than most; and she said if she gets asked out on a date then she will have to break the rule again, and it doesn't count for breakfast or lunch!
Not a very religious bunch really.
