A good tradition.

A day for travelling back north from Hertfordshire.

Before we leave our American daughter in law provides us with American pancakes for breakfast. They are a little smaller in diameter but thicker than their English counterparts. Delicious with Ohio Maple Syrup

When the family come to Cumbria they get thinner pancakes which are the same diameter as the frying pan. The Maple Syrup is Canadian or lemon juice is available.

All good preparation for facing the motorway system. But today it coped very well with the hundreds of thousands of grandparents and families who commute at the end of school half term.
