Shrove Tuesday

It's pancake day today, apparently it used to be today that everyone would stock up on pancakes and sweet things before Lent starts tomorrow. I am going to try and be good and give up cakes, biscuits and chocolate. What are you giving up?

  3. Pancakes and waffles are my favorite. Haven't decided what I'm going to give up this Lent -- maybe bread and cakes. Chocolate? NEVER.

  4. Wonderful shot, Justine....the wicker table you set it up on gives it that special something.

  12. What a fantastic capture, Justine! That composition is so beautiful, wonderful light, too. Just looking at it makes me want to make pancakes, too! I also thought about giving up at least chocolate... but as I usually eat chocolate in stress times that might be really, really hard...!

  19. Great photo of your " mix ". and I bet your pancakes will be delish ( i put butter-milk in mine, makes them fluffy ). What am I giving up, sadly nothing...I am going to Robe for a 4 day weekend, I'm telling you cos I know you know where it is, and of course it is a major wine region so what is a girl to do ? BTW, thanks for your last comment on my blog... I personally don't like music on blogs so I don't know why I did it ( thought the song was cute ) so it's great to get feed back.... what do really think about music on blogs ?
