Crepe party

I went today stairs yesterday to microwave a cup of water for a hot drink (the kettle is too much for the electricity on our floor and often blows the fuses so we have been asked not to use it any more.) The is a small common room on the second floor where people can eat lunch etc. Most places (bar UCLan) have one.
There were a group of people making crepes. Apparently it was Candle Mass, which is a catholic event. No one could tell me what the event was for but they had decided to celebrate it any way. Fair enough. And they asked us if we wanted to join in. Who in their right mind is going to turn down Crepes?
I have never seen so many crepe fillings. Lots of different jams. Nutella. And new my favourite, Congac. The lady doing the crepes poured some congac into a pan and heated it for a minute. Then she added a match. In the middle of the common room in a university building, she was happily flambéing! Added to a crepe with a squeeze of juice from a blood orange and a sprinkle of sugar, makes a very nice crepe. I felt very posh.
And it seems here if you have crepes you have to have cider! And it is very nice cider.
I did go back to work after, but I felt very merry!
