Good Morning Easter Sunday

Easter Wishes and love to everyone - and hope for all of us. xx

Good morning everyone from the Salisbury area where I've been participating in the Sunday Breakfast Show on Radio Odstock, Salisbury Hospital and community radio. Our love to all those in hospital at the moment.

Happy Easter to everyone!

I had a new microwave arrive yesterday. I had a real problem getting it in and then down my long hall to the kitchen. Then had more trouble getting it out of the very strong sturdy box it was in. Then how to get the old microwave off the kitchen work top, as it was extremely heavy and I am 80 with health problems.? ... I managed to get it onto a dining chair. Then I had to get the new microwave onto the kitchen work top in its place. Managed to get it onto another chair and by then I felt quite weak and my legs were trembling... I had to wait until this morning after breakfast to tackle it... and managed to get it from the chair to the microwave!!! I must be stronger than I thought...

My son has invited me for Easter dinner tonight and I will see two of my grandchildren back from university there. I feel so lucky and blessed. I have also broken into an Easter egg sent by my daughter and found there was a bottle of prosecco and some macaroons in the box too! How lovely.

Have a good day everyone, and may all with problems find they improve as the weekend wears on.

Good afternoon all, and a very happy Easter to you. ??

It's a bright, but breezy and chilly day today, but so lovely to see blue sky and sunshine.

We got a few more jobs done in the garden yesterday, and cleared some space, moved some plants around, got rid of others that haven't survived the winter and generally tidied up. We then went to our local garden centre for some more garden compost and to see if the rocking chair my DH admired was still there. (It's his birthday soon and I've been racking my brains trying to think what to get him). Well, there was one on display, (so built), but no more left boxed up. However, they let us have that one, slightly reduced. Great, so we got it to the car, DH had put the rear seats down to create space, but calamity! It would not go in, however which way we tried. Oh dear, what to do? Luckily for us, they offer a delivery service, (phew!) so it's coming tomorrow. We have created just the space for it in the garden.

Late coming on here today because I spent the morning getting the lamb prepped to go in the slow cooker. There are some nice smells emanating from the kitchen now.

I do hope you have a lovely time with your family today, sheepandcattle, and you too, Amselerin.

I hope you will soon be back, Urmstongran

Thank you Nankate for posting Gilly's message - Gilly, looking forward to seeing your post soon.

Take care all and ? for all of you with worries and concerns.

I'm another who is sad at the leaving of Urmstongran. Haste ye back!

Happy Easter to everyone. This is a very short third attempt to post today - my post button just won't work.

When I set off for Easter Sunday church this morning it was only 4 degrees! It was beautiful though. The church was as full as it could be under the circumstances. The choir sang beautifully - we weren’t allowed to join in. The vicar handed out chocolate after the service - she had broken an assortment of eggs as part of her sermon!
I cooked guinea fowl, bread sauce, stuffing plus all the usual accompaniments for lunch. It was all very tasty. There is a chocolate cake for pudding, but not until I have digested the main course.

Happy Easter.

Happy Easter everyone. He is risen. So wish we could have sung our Easter hymns this morning but not to be. Just glad I had reserved our places in church and enjoyed seeing some members of our congegation.

Just been for a walk around the neighbourhood which always looks better in glorious sunshine. We have so much to be thankful for and Easter brings hope and life for the future.

It’s late afternoon, not morning, but I shall still add Happy Easter to everyone?
Our church had an outdoor service this morning, nippy but sunny with a large congregation, all well socially distanced.
Beautiful day, so many daffodils everywhere, and neighbours out chatting in the sunshine, and relatives arriving for lunch in the garden.It all feels so hopeful.

Happy Easter from a sunny East Midlands x

Oh Harrigran you are having a time of it. Hope your DH improves and your DS is better soon and your DD manages to come to see you

glammagran my DD cut out flat egg shapes which DGD had coloured for an egg hunt in the garden
Urmston. enjoy your break but don't take too long because you will be missed
Haven't heard that hymn before, Ashcombe, must be a recent one. Saw Graham Kendrick at the Harrogate Convention Centre a few years ago. Very enjoyable.
