Today the children of Bath all have the day off from school for winter vacation, so none of the education students could go in and practice teaching. Instead, a few of us decided to take a train to a neighboring town (Bradford-On-Avon). One of our professors lives there he agreed to meet us and give us a grand tour of his town. We got hot chocolate at a really cute café and then he took us around the town. We went to see the Tithe Barn, which is a really old barn that they used to use as a market like about 1000 years ago. The tiles on the roof are made of limestone rocks, it's really interesting. Then we went to see the second oldest church in the country, an Anglo-Saxen church in a really cute neighborhood. When our professor finished the tour, we went a pub called The Dandy Lion for lunch. Today is National Pancake Day in England. I'm not kidding, it is actually a holiday and it's actually kind of a big deal, so at the pub I got a pancake. The first picture is of my lunch, toffee and banana pancakes with whipped cream. It was absolutely amazing! It has been a great day!
Toffee and banana pancakes sounds fabulous. It looks like you dipped it into something like caramel? Or is that the toffee on the plate? We should make that when you get back. We should first designate a family pancake day, though. Around here about every 7th day already is, isn't it? Mom
