You’ll no doubt have heard of such rustic pursuits as cheese-rolling, bog-snorkelling and welly-wanging, but the good burghers of Cromer see in the Spring with the Annual Pancake Race, in which the whole of Chapel Street is cordoned off. Your reporter braved the huge crowds and unseasonably warm weather to bring you these trackside pictures. Pancakes were tossed, many hit the deck, thrills and spills galore, release of calcium etcetera etcetera.

The course is lined with eager punters as the favourite gallops down the home straight
the champions go head to head in the final furlong…
The winner claims his trophy.My very sporty niece (aged 12) made it to the final but crashed out horribly. Which was a shame, as I had money on her to win.

You should have had CISB this weekend, then. This is pretty adorable.
Sorry I missed it!
Though I spent a lovely afternoon at Wimpole Home Farm, viewing Tamworth piglets, Shire horses, and Shetland cattle.
How can I get some Manx Loghtan sheep back to the US?
