Bird Watching, Pancake Day and Crêpes Suzettes

There has been a great deal of bird activity in the garden today though they flew away into the trees each time there was a hail shower. There were Goldfinches, Green Finches; a Robin; Blue Tits and Great Tits; Long Tail Tits and just one Nut-hatch. The day of The Big Bird Watch there wasn’t a bird in sight! Click on any photo to see the birds more clearly.

It’s Pancake Day and we started with Savoury Pancakes stuffed with turkey in a tasty peppery sauce. Later this evening we will have our Crêpes Suzettes which we love!

Dalai Lama, New Gadget and Pancake Day

04 Mar

1 Our Redruth Chiropractor always has some inspiring words on the board in her window. I liked this one from the Dalai Lama. What a wonderfully wise man he is.

2 Another new gadget I bought the other day is this ergonomically wonderful lemon squeezer. I used it today and it is brilliant. For those who asked if the new Garlic Rocker was as efficient as it is beautiful… It is! It is so easy to use and very easy to clean – a winner in every way!

3 It’s Pancake Day, Shrove Tuesday, and, in the family tradition started dinner with Savoury Pancakes (stuffed today with chicken and peas in a Béchamel sauce) followed by Crêpes Suzettes – yummy! I can post the recipes if anyone would like me to.

Thank-you Card, Wise Words and Pancake Day

12 Feb

1 The post today brought a thank-you card for the Sally-boots I knitted for the baby born on my birthday. He is so gorgeous!

2 I came across this cutting from a newspaper from the 50’s which I found in Mum’s desk when I cleared it for polishing. What wise and timeless words indeed, especially, for me, the last bit.

3 It’s Pancake Day. First we had Savoury Pancakes stuffed with chicken in a white sauce and we followed that tasty course with Boozy Crepes Suzettes – utterly scrumptious!
