Not only do the French eat a lot of crêpes on Chandeleur, but they also
do a bit of fortune telling while making them. It is traditional to hold a coin
in your writing hand and a crêpe pan in the other, and flip the crêpe into the
air. If you manage to catch the crêpe in the pan, your family will be
prosperous for the rest of the year.
There is also a train of thought that suggests you should keep this well
flipped pancake on the top of the wardrobe for the year to doubly ensure good
fortune…
Enjoy your pancakes and whatever you do this week in the
Gironde and Dordogne regions – have a great week.
Best wishes,
Helen

And finally...
Come and make a Valentine gift (or keep it for yourself!) from ceramics on Saturday afternoon in Sauveterre. I'll be showing you how to use coils for heart shaped wall hangings, plates and pots.
Contact me for more information, or even if you like the idea, but can't make the date, I can set up a workshop for a group of friends.
