True but I don’t know whether you have noticed, ‘healthy’ and ‘food’ are not really very linked for me :-D

Brava! I’m pleased :-)

Real name is Shrove Tuesday but it was the day where you used all of your flour and eggs in preparation for Lent. And, so, you made pancakes and so it became known as Pancake Day. With lashings of caster sugar and lemon juice – mmmmmmmm :-p

So, you had a really nice lunch then – girls together ;-)

We’re doing a pancake night at Jane’s house. She does it almost every year. And it’s mostly going to be women so maybe it’s a Women’s Day celebration as well. (I also hate the smell of mimosa).
