the tail end of easter
The post-Easter spring cleaning is almost complete. All the chocolates have been 'cleaned' out, and, er, 'disposed' of. All that is left is this exquisite hand made real goose egg - blown and hand decorated in Moravia.

i'm dreaming of a white easter
Easter is upon us. I will be going to bed early tonight to rise in the very early morn. There will be hours of driving up north to far beyond the midlands, into the mountains, where I hope to spend Easter with some awesome people. Due to the altitude, and the current unpredictable temperatures, I may see something I didn't at Christmas - snow! Come to think of it, I haven't got a single Easter card this year. This may well change in the next few hours. I did get a few real-life cards for Christmas, so the bar his high. Hypocritically of me, I haven't sent out any either. I did make some by hand, and some from my stock of photographs, but I just didn't send them. I have to admit struggling to find any of my photos that where Easter-themed enough.

The Ypres Tower or 'Rye Castle' was constructed as part of the defence against the raiding armies from across the channel in 1249. Rye itself is a charming little English town in East Sussex that lies between the confluence of three rivers and the sea. The charm is even more visible from the top of St. Mary's Church from where you can see the rustic rooftops of this well preserved 13th century town.
