My vegan girlfriend loved the look of Derek Sarno’s Ultimate pancake sandwiches in your February magazine. So on the Sunday before Valentine’s Day, I made them for brunch. She loved them, especially the smoky cheesealternative. We followed this with a lovely walk, where she proposed – and I said yes! I like to think the pancakes sealed the deal, so thanks!

YOU’RE NOT ALONE

I want to commend you for Women of their Word (February). The positive way the article dealt with the impacts of the menopause let women know there is a route out, and that life can be wonderful again. Julie, via email
