We got to the Chapel at 2pm. Rosie was a brilliant helper, and particularly enjoyed helping string up the bunting [really there for the Holiday Club - but it added to the party atmosphere] We put out the plates, cutlery and toppings - as well as leaflets about Hope Now. This is a charity which has been working in Ukraine for over 25 years. When we did our first Norfolk pancake party in 2022, the war had only just started. We knew this group already had the infrastructure, and workers in place, to provide the relief needed. So we put out a donations jar then, it's been our "Pancake Party Charity" ever since.

Here are 'beforehand' photos. Sorry, no pictures of the event itself. The chapel was full of cheerful children having fun, and I was busy chatting to visitors. It was a lovely atmosphere. Bob reckoned he flipped around 70 pancakes. Donations came to £50. The rain was teeming down as we left [too wet to stop and remove the big banner outside]
We all enjoyed it*****
[please note - not all supply/substitute teachers are as awful as Ms Malkin]
Ah, well done to you all! Rosie is a star (good choice of t-shirt!).x
ReplyDeleteRosie's Teeshirt is actually the one bought for Liz when we went to see Dreamcoat in London 30+ years ago. It fits in well with our holiday club theme, so I've given it to her now!
DeleteSounds like it was a lovely pancake party. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was fun
DeleteWhat a lovely face Rosie has. You can see her caring, thoughtful and intelligent ways in her smile.
ReplyDeleteThank you, we are so grateful for our lovely grandchildren
Delete👍❤️
DeleteIt sounds like a good time was had by all, and just what's needed at this dreary time of year. Well done on the money raised and the 70 pancakes flipped. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think there would have been more there had not the rain been so heavy
DeleteWell done to you all on the pancake party! Catriona

DeleteWe had a pancake party at our house for our church housegroup. I reckon Mike made 33 pancakes. Respect for Bob's 70 total. Flipping marvellous. Nicky K
ReplyDeleteWell done you & Mike. 33 pancakes is a mighty stack in a domestic kitchen!
DeleteShall note the film for our allnighter on Saturday. I expect we'll have pancakes for breakfast. Better get the chocolate spread supplies topped up but not the cheap substitutes, got to be the real thing! Clever Nana though, buys the substitute and decants into the 'real thing's empty jar!!Getting away with it so far!
ReplyDeleteBob got the pukka stuff on a crazy Nectar deal - the big jar was cheaper than the small one!
DeleteShall check it out. Meant to say overnighter on Saturday though it might be an all nighter following Friday when I look after the three yr old at theirs!
Delete🤣🤣
Delete70 pancakes! Brilliant.
ReplyDelete👍❤️
DeleteGood helper, good cause, good food, great idea!
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Absolutely
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have Rosie helping and obviously enjoying herself. Good training for life!
ReplyDeleteShe was great at welcoming people - and helping to tidy up afterwards too
DeleteGreat job! She is growing up so fast!
ReplyDelete👍❤️
