I had a second round with pancakes and maple-flavoured syrup, cream, bacon, sausage and more potato gems. The syrup was really good with the bacon and sausage, but not as good as real maple syrup would’ve been. The heat from the pancakes melted the cream, and it slid across and off the pancakes, as you can see in the photo. I think I enjoyed round two more than round one. I just love bacon, maple syrup and pancakes.

Jac moved onto sweets – on her plate: bread and butter pudding (my eyes lit up when I saw it! I knew I would have to have some! O_O), custard, tinned mango, a pancake, syrup, cream and yoghurt.

Max had also moved onto his breakfast dessert course – chocolate mousse studded with Smarties, sprinkles and choc bits. He put this together himself.

He also got himself pancakes with syrup and cream.

My sweet plate, with bread and butter pudding, custard, cream, a blob of chocolate mousse with a wafer wedged into it, and two cubes of wobbly cold raspberry jelly.

Jac and I split a plate of fruit to end our meal – watermelon, pineapple and kiwi fruit.
