Tuesday was Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday) and although I knew the recipe for making a pancake batter I got out an old cookery book just to check the quantities of flour, milk and egg so that I could make a small number of pancakes (two each) just for myself and Mr P.
Even though it's cooler after the recent warm weather more Spring flowers are in bloom. Last night there was a hard frost. I hope that more frosty nights won't damage the blossom and the developing fruit on the fruit trees.
We're usually over in Italy during March, but this year we're staying home in the UK and enjoying family times here. In Italy the mimosa blossom will be out in profusion. I love the bright yellow of the pretty, fluffy balls that are the flowers and the feathery green leaves.
Today is International Women's Day. In Italy Mimosa is given to women on this day as a gesture of friendship and solidarity. Happy Women's Day to my women blog friends. It's important to support the endeavour to make life better for women around the world.
