Pancakes for tea

Today is Shrove Tuesday.

The day before Lent starts.

The day we eat pancakes for our tea.

When I was a child we always had pancakes

 for tea on what we called 'Pancake Day'.

I love mine with butter and sugar,

some people prefer other types of toppings

or fillings and some even have savoury ones.
We had a great variety tonight ranging from berries
 and bananas and cream to syrup and honey
just to mention a few.

How do you like yours?

Tonight we had our pancakes at church.

Not too bad a turnout either, 

this being the first pancake tea we've held 

since I've been attending here.
I think the ages ranged from about 10 to 85.

Some people don't know anything about Shrove Tuesday 

or that Lent is supposed to be a time of fasting,

and so I found myself explaining

 a little bit to one of our newer members.

We all enjoyed a nice casual time of being together 

and enjoying each others' company over food.

Followed of course, by a cuppa!

Wishing you a happy week

as we begin the lead up to Easter,
