Shrove Tuesday Sunshine by judithg

Shrove Tuesday Sunshine

The day dawned frosty and bright and as I drove along The Backs (having agreed to transport Adam and a huge bag of hockey team shirts that I had the pleasure of washing to school) the scene was too pretty to ignore. In fact the Fellows' Garden at St John's (where there's no place to pull over) looked as though a unicorn might emerge at any moment but I made do further along with King's College just about visible in the distance. Of course it didn't stop me blaming Adam for being late to school :0)
Three GT:
1. Proper warmth in the sun
2. Pancakes with sugar and lemon (the ONLY way to go).
3. Seeing Rachel's university 'pancake photos' and remembering our Shrove Tuesday student shenanigans (it was traditionally a day off at Manchester University) which I haven't forgotten as they were only yesterday - I'm sure!
Gorgeous!

@jackie8 Well this one is good luck but in general the trick is to go for a high f number eg f18 or more. I learnt that on Alan Titchmarsh!

Agree about feeling University days were not long ago...

Oh yes, sugar and lemon, definitely. Didn't get any though, got back a bit too late and couldn't be bothered, boo. Why hasn't anyone else faved this, it's very lovely?

A perfect light flare! Beautifully done!

Love the sun flare - beautiful morning. I made the major mistake of having carb-free part of diet covering pancake day so cooked them and watched everyone else eat them - not doing that again!

Great shadows. :)

I like the reflections, and the feeling of sunshine doing it's best despite it being a chilly day. Very nice.

Mmm having always been a traditionalist this year I did pancakes with cheese, and it's a contender, as it happens.
