On shrove Tuesday All Saints Church welcomed the local community once again to our regular bi monthly coffee morning. A packed house enjoyed all the usual jollities, chat and cake but in place of our popular bacon butties, the ladies were making industrial quantities of pancakes!Highlight of the morning was a pancake race, or perhaps we should more accurately say energetic walk, up the church drive tossing pancakes in all directions along the way. Much hilarity was had and thanks to Glen Unstead for some wonderful action shots which are attached to this post.Our next Coffee morning will be held on Wednesday 17th April when we look forward to welcoming everyone again to All Saints.
