Welcome to the Big Autumn Count Down.
In the religious world Lent is the period leading up to Easter. In different times and places it has been of a different length. It gradually grew to be 47 days. At first it was a one week preparation period for the Easter Baptisms. Fasting was part of it – again there were different patterns and traditions. The “40 days” are the days between Ash Wednesday and Easter Eve excluding the Sundays.
Will it make any difference to your following of Christ if you “observe Lent”? I suppose it depends what you do and why? Some traditions are meant to help us examine ourselves in the light of God’s word and repent and seek change and renewal.
Some traditions provide a kind of scaffolding or structure that aims to order and channel our life into a better way.

Have you got any shroves?
Do you know where we can get some shroves? It seems they are quite hard to obtain nowadays. Even our customer caring supermarkets don’t have them on sale. Chocolate E**ster eggs, Hot cross (shouldn’t that be crossed?) buns, chocolate festive rabbits have all been there for ages – but no shroves.
I heard a rumour (but didn’t believe it) that some churches have shrove processions. They gather up all the shroves and put them in a paper bag and burn them. Seems a waste.
Actually I have never seen a shrove, but it would be good to get some for Shrove Tuesday. Otherwise all we will have are pancakes. Mind you the pancakes here are very good. Or at least the fillings are. Can you fill a pancake? You can cover it, swamp it, drown it, I suppose. Get your fingers, face, shirt all covered with yummy runny... what do you prefer on your pancakes? Sweet sickly treacly honey? Spicy scary chilli mince? Warm watery fishy dishes?
