I found this when I was looking for something else:

Shrove Tuesday

Pancake Races in Ross-on-Wye

'Mix a pancake

Stir a pancake

Pop it in the pan.

Fry a pancake

Toss a pancake

Catch it if you can'.

'Once,twice, thrice,

I give thee warning,

Please to make pancakes

'Gin tomorrow morning'

Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day is the day before Lent begins.  Ross has fun before the fasting and penance!

English Traditional Proverb

'A peck of March dust and a shower in May
Make the corn green and the meadows gay'.

Hang Spring Cleaning

Just like Mole, it was impossible to stay indoors when there was a breath of Spring in the air.  I went down to the river at Symonds Yat, a favourite place for dog walks.  It was the first time that I have been this year and I was not the only one to be drawn there today.  There were walkers, canoeists and people who were just there for a day out.  It was as if the holidays had begun and really shook away the Winter blues.

St David's Day

In 1662 William Schellinks, a Dutchman visiting London, was surprised to see those born in Wales put a leeks in the bands of their hats.  He learned that this was in memory of a battle won by the Welsh on Saint David's Day in which leeks had been worn to distinguish them from the enemy. 'So His Majesty and many more great Lords and gentlemen, common people, and even lackeys, coachmen, porters, and all kinds of riff-raff and layabouts wear one on their hats'.

'We saw some countryfolk carry such large leeks on their hats that their heads hung almost sideways because of them.  And so on this day the Welshmen are greatly teased by the English, not only by calling after them Taffey, Taffey or David, David, but also by hanging out all kinds of dolls and scarecrows with leeks on their heads, and as they celebrate the day with heavy boozing, and both sides, from the ale, strong beer, sack and claret, become short-tempered, obstinate, and wild, so it is not often that this day goes by without mishaps, and without one or the other getting into an argument or a blood fight'.
