Pancake Party

"Pancakes for 50 people, please!"

What a great night, all a bit manic but lots of fun ...

"Mohamed, Aiste & Sandra, thank you so much for all your help in
the kitchen providing pancakes for a crowd!!!"

 

 

It was a great social evening.

"Haris & Anna, great to have you join us for the evening :-)"

 

And in the midst of that we celebrated Susann's birthday,

 and my birthday too ...

We also had a quiz put together to celebrate what some know as Chinese New Year and others call Lunar New Year ...

There were four people who came joint second in our
quiz, with 9 correct answers out of 12.
They were Suzan, Anu, John and (pictured above) Mr Bill,
also known as 'Lynne's Dad'.

But our winner with FULL MARKS
was Patrick, from Nigeria :-)
