Pancake day

image (which I love) is from here Gosh this year is going fast...it's Pancake day already. I found a lovely site HERE that explains Pancake Day / Shrove Tuesday as it's celebrated in the UK and in other parts of the world HERE Which nicely enlightened youngest daughter on Mardi Gras which had been puzzling her (and me too I must confess):o) So we made pancakes for breakfast and the girls both took turns tossing and catching them in the pan...which was fun and they were surprisingly good at it! The collie likes them too but was rationed much to his disgust and No one dropped one in spite of him eyeing us hopefully. Recipe. We used two eggs, 1 and 1/3 cups of flour (sifted), 2 cups of milk and 2 tablespoons of oil all lightly beaten together then cooked in a lightly greased pan over a moderate heat, flipped when the first side was set, then flipped again for fun and served with sugar (and a squirt of lemon) Very Yummy

Happy Valentine's Day to you!

Snow...snow and lots of it!

Ok This Winter we have had snow and I do mean snow....lovely white deep stuff...but deep  and hard on the moose and other wildlife and deep on the roof which is a little perturbing.
Snow snaps... the back gate
