An Easter bouquet, from our house…
to yours!
Lisa arrived, in a burst of colour and joy, with flowers and the card she’d made. My Good Friday was the happiest I have shared in a long time. We walked, in warm Spring sunshine. We talked. We ate, and laughed, and smiled a lot.
This morning my house is peaceful, while I wait for everyone to stir. Wishing you all much love this Easter! I hope that you are equally blessed.

Thank you, dear Jo! Yes, I am at home, in fact, I do not celebrate Easter, since I am Eastern Orthodox, our Easter will be a month later! So, we have a usual, but sunny weekend!

Ah- I should have realised. Just one of our small differences, Ann. 🙂 Enjoy your sunny weekend. Ours was fleeting but the company’s still good.

What a creative, happy card! Glad you had a lovely Good Friday, Jo! I thought I was due a solitary one, but spent a couple of hours chatting in the sun with one of my neighbours and her cute grandchildren ….and later it was tea and hot cross buns with a new friend! The sort of day I like 😊

Absolutely wonderful time with the children, but a dear friend from uni days died yesterday. Warsaw is becoming marked with my personal grieving, as well as with the immense historical grief.
