In 2005 Alan, Pat, Gwilym & Catrin Davey moved from North East Wales to Bordeaux. Alan is a pastor and Pat was a nurse. Now we work with UFM worldwide. Read on! (If you'd like to know what took us to Bordeaux, then start with the archives from September 2004)

La Chandeleur

has nothing to do with American sit-coms.

It's the name for Pancake Day, or la Fête des Crêpes.

And it's today. Youpie !

The shops are all selling crêpières - which can either be flat frying pans ( we have one of those ! ) or swanky electric hotplates, very expensive, that you put in the middle of the table and stretch across to make the perfect crêpe. Oh aye...

I have this urge to get the camping stove in the middle of the table with our nice flat pan and make pancakes that way. I bet it'd be better that an electric thingie. More controllable.
