For keeps or lent?

 Is it sacrelige to have pancakes outside of Shrove Tuesday?

Nope.

They are tasty any time of the year and can be savoury or sweet. They don't take long to make and cook but for such simple ingredients they taste so good. And even dairy free and gluten free are really great options.

Saw bay

 Has anyone tried cutting a well established bay tree? I find that bay tree wood is very hard to cut so this time I used a chain saw.

My goodness, how quickly it cut through the branches. But it needs treating with the utmost respect and safety equipment is essential. What did impress me though is how quickly it stopped when there was the slightest letting go of the controls. Despite its power it actually felt very safe to use.
