Great story Neil! There's a church right down the road, think I should try it???

Funny but your recipe did not sound so unusual until now that you mention no rising agents. I don't use any either. Not because I knew of it as any 'tradition', simply because I don't like pancakes as much if they rise up much and because soda doesn't taste good to me in foods.

I DO though typically start with the liquids and beat the eggs a little so this time I will try it your way.

Dear CLUSIANA, thank you for your assistance with the Iris it is much appreciated. Iris are not my specialty, apart from the common ones we get around here!
However I do hope you enjoyed the walk?
Thank you again.
Regards from England.
Neil.

Neil, Thanks for letting us walk through the English park with you--- such beautiful photos of trees, shrubs, & other plants in early Spring--- also the ducks! We do appreciate you enduring the Cold weather to write this article!

Dear Connie, it was a pleasure! Albeit a cold one, as I did not know what to expect after the damage everywhere!
However I do hope you found a picture of something that you like?
It is sunny here today and T shirt weather at 48F, which is warm to what we have been used to!
Doing a rck of lamb for Sarah and of course pancakes as it is pancake day or Shrove Tuesday. Lent tomorrow starts so what are you giving up!
Hope you are all well?

Regards.
Neil.

Neil, thankyou for reminding me it is Pancake Tuesday!!! Dad willhave his pancake filled with stewed apple and I shall have mine with maple syrupThanks for the walk through the park it was lovely to see the ducks, I only wish I could get out a bit more, but perhaps when the weather gets better I will get to the top of Blythe Hill and have a wonderful view of the southeast. Have you told your friends in the USA about pease pudding?? I was only thinkigf about it today when I got some beautiful ham for Dad. The garden is beginning to wake up slowly the clematis has some green leaves showing and the two big hydrangeas are budding like made - hurry up spring. Mum

Hmmmnnn... Giving up???--- how about Laundry?!

Hi Eileen--- hope you are doing well after a cold Winter! I bet you are glad Spring is springing!
Neil, what Is Pease Pudding??--- Is it sweet and yummy, or more like those Yorkshire puddings that you put with meat?? I guess it doesn't have Peas in it...? I do remember that rhyme: Pease porridge hot, pease porridge cold--- is it like a soup??

Connie!... I'm with ya'...let's do that together!

I'm with you Connie. I'll give up laundry with you. Oh wait I did that LAST year. ummmmmmmmmmm hmmm/.

Mind is a blank.

Did you start back up yet Cherie?

Dear mum, I am making some granary bread at the moment but I will bring you a fresh one with some pease pudding for dads ham in the morning.
Glad you liked the walk, the pictures with the new lens were I think not bad!
I need some more practice with that lens! Unfortunately as you know, I have not had the weather to do so, to say the least!
Love.
Neil.

Yeah Ed MADE me but then I could hang outside then. I DESPISE dryer heat. Shrinks everything.


That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

What a delightful read Neil. Thank you so much. I look from my window and see 2-3 feet of snow still on my lawn. I'm so grateful to all those who share their photos.

Hi Neal

OH DEAR!!!!

Dear Barbara, it is pleasure!
It is nice to be cheer someone up, with natures beauty!
I hope you are well?
Regards.
Neil.

Dear CLUSIANA, a lot of the primroses got hurt in the cold after the mild weather. I will however try to find some for you!
They are not often in many places in the wild, as people have stolen them for their gardens, which is illegal now.
I will see what I can do.
Regards.
Neil.

In the meantime

As I am a frog, not very far from you, you will forgive mistakes in the language.
Thank you so much for such a nice idea. Besides the ones at the other end of the world or in Europe growing wild you, in GB have the most beautiful primroses
