Happy Pancake Day
What is your favorite things to have with your pancake? As we did our headcount, each runner shared with the group what their favorite topping was to accompany their pancake. Stuart loves to have spicy beans with his pancake, whereas I like blueberries and cream... nom nom nom! Lowri even made pancakes for the run this week, using her grandmother's secret recipe! The feedback was unanimously positive - Diolch yn fawr Lowri.

We've arrived
Lorraine greeted us with a warm welcome. She invited us in for a drink of water to rehydrate and after a couple of minutes then brought us into the hall area. Lorraine told us that the centre is currently celebrating the Tibetan New Year, also known as Lhochhar. Lorraine facilitated a 5 minute mindfulness practice with the group.
Our tasks this evening included:
We managed to do all of the above within 30 minutes - Lorraine and Yin were both super impressed!
Memorable moments during tonight's task:
It's time to head back
As much as we love helping at Samye, we can't stay there all night (However they do have 2 vacant flats at the moment).
After the run we went for drinkypoos at the Glassworks.
