Well, the Attwoods had word that this might well be the last Pancake Race Event in Lichfield, so we went to watch. Crowds were large, a lovely atmosphere, The Mayor led the proceedings (but didn’t race) and all was well. We bumped into fellow Soroptimists Valmai and Kate who had chanced upon the event. Chaplin was intrigued by the whole thing as were the Italians who seemed to be out in force and believed that somehow winning was the important aspect of all this! I heard of some Stourbridgians chancing on a black pudding festival in France and they found that equally bizarre! Long live the traditions!!!
