  2. Shrove

    Share Share Post
    There is generally pancakes for the tea on Shrove Tuesday.
    There is a ring put in them and whoever gets it will be married first.
    When each pancake is cooked in the pan the woman throws it up in the air and out of the pan and catches it again in the pan when it is coming down.
