I don't suppose The Only Canonically Correct Way to serve pancakes - with sugar and lemon juice - would make such a pleasing visual impact 😉
#shrovetueday #pancakeday #rosiemadeathing
A cartoon woman with brown hair and wearing a pink leopard print top. She is sitting up to her chest in chocolate sauce and holding a plate stacked high with pancakes. Another person's hand high up in the left of the picture is pouring from a bottle of chocolate sauce onto the pancakes and saying "Say when..." The main character is smiling and saying "When"

Just in case anyone has ever wondered what an #escalator looks like when it's being repaired...
A shopping mall with one metal escalator which is being repaired. The whole escalator is being worked on, on the ground floor. The area is boarded up and there are people walking past on the other side.

I had to stake and tie my lovely #narcissi to a knitting needle today after they decided they were struggling to support their own height... currently 55cm above the level of the cup!
I have had so much joy from them this last month.
Very tall and gangly vivid yellow tête a tête narcissi planted in a cup and saucer also decorated with narcissi. They have been tied to a knitting needle with bright purple wool to stop them falling over.

At a #CharityShop the other day, I was so hugely tempted to bring this home with me, even though I haven't had a record player for two decades....

Happy #StBrigid 's Day!
This glorious book by Lorraine Mulholland has stunning artwork by Matthew Jackson 😍

#StBrigid #BratBride
#StBrigidsEve
Picture of St Brigid and a St Brigid Cross. The text reads: Tonight is Saint Brigid's Eve, so don't forget to leave a cloth or scarf outside to be blessed by the Saint as she passes. Known as a "Brat Bride"in Irish folklore, the special garment can then be used as a cure for headaches or sore throats
