Pancake Day!

We like pancakes, but this year I bought a pack of frozen Aunt Bessies ones from ASDA!!!! isn't that terrible or what. We like ours with lemon and sugar, very traditional really but the best way I think.
We went to Dobbies this morning to get our free coffees before february runs out! Very nice too. we saw some beautiful palish blue primroses in the garden section so bought a tray for the front garden. Since all of our plants are in containers, it is inevitable that you will lose some during the winter. A couple of the ones in the front have gone very spindly and are shot, so want re doing. These little primroses should fill the pots nicely. I am actually very impressed with Dobbies, the quality of the plants is excellent.The plants that VT put into the two baskets in the back and the one at the front are lovely. A true little splash of colour in the grey of Winter. The yellow ones in the back are a mass of little yellow flowers and buds. An excellent buy.
Didn't get anything else there apart from a birthday card for Rachel but we went through Formby on the way back so called in at Waitrose for a bag of salad, and some of their Smoked Oatcakes. these are VT's favourites and he had ruun out.
Tonight we are having:
Sage and Onion turkey style escallopes,
Cranberry sauce, and bread sauce,
little baked potatoes,
Mixed vegetables, and maybe a touch of Hollandaise sauce.
