Easter

'Easter is meant to be a symbol of Hope, Renewal and new life'. Janine di Giovanni.

Truro Cathedral will soon be hosting some of the lovely Easter services . As a child I was sometimes taken to the service, but usually we went to our village church.


When I went in this week, one of the local schools was practising for an event. It brought back memories!

I'm so happy to see the little pink beginnings. As a child I was quite convinced that I could make the fallen petals into a delicious dessert!

The little bird box made by my husband many years ago looks as though it will have residents this Spring. A pair of bluetits are in and out each day.


I am away over Easter, enjoying a few days at a lovely hotel on Dartmoor.

Our daughter was christened at a little village church near Penryn just after Easter. They had beautiful flowers, including a picture made from petals and flowers pressed into a clay frame.
Have a lovely time in Dartoor.

Indeed, the Resurrection brings hope for the soul! Enjoy your days away, Barbara!

Small success.

I have found a different way to put photos on, which involves copying and pasting. Blogger is still insisting that I 'sign in' when ...
