Perfect Pancake Party

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 were home around 6.45 and watched Leo. An animated musical comedy about a lively children, their class pet [Leo the Lizard ] and their teacher. A very funny film. 
We all enjoyed it***** 
[please note - not all supply/substitute teachers are as awful as Ms Malkin]

    1. Rosie'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!

  4. It 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. :-)

    1. Well done you & Mike. 33 pancakes is a mighty stack in a domestic kitchen!

  7. Shall 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!

    1. Bob got the pukka stuff on a crazy Nectar deal - the big jar was cheaper than the small one!
