EASTER SATURDAY


It is nice to see folks have been visiting here, and thank you to new followers.

We have often gone away over the Easter break as the weather is very pleasant after the heat of summer.  Last weekend  I had a nasty stomach bug (cramps and inflammation, but not diarrhoea thankfully) which I have now heard has afflicted a number of locals.  I wasn’t completely well until  Thursday, so we weren’t up to going away, particularly as we have a heavy week of concerts (four) Tuesday to Friday next week.

We were considering two local events.... actually both about 100kms away, the Maclean Highland Gathering
 
 

Yesterday, Good Friday, people in Church, and a feeling of quietness....  later we were invited to friends and as we were out and about realised there was very little traffic and I didn’t hear a lawnmower all day.  Around here anyway there was a feeling of respect and quietness.

To all, the blessings of Easter and a happy and safe time with loved ones.

We have nothing on today, so we will take a walk downtown this morning and then I will do a little in the garden and enjoy the sunshine and the warbling of the magpies and twitter of the smaller birds I can hear through my open window.

Keep safe and God Bless.
Love, Jan

Have a blessed Easter at home. That's where we'll be as well, just the two of us. Had hoped to get our kids together but Phil and I both had sore throats this week so it's hard to plan when ya don't know how you'll be feeling by week's end. Alot of people around here have had colds and pneumonia. Last week my mom had the flu, in nursing home and so did others so I didn't visit, now I was a bit low but managed to work the 4 days at hardware store. God bless and keep you! Glad you are feeling better! Hallelujah, Jesus has risen, just as He said!

Thank you all for your comments. As it turned out, after Barry was chatting with someone, he wanted to go to Rathdowney after all. Photos later.
Trusting everyone had a Blessed Easter.

Jan so very sorry to hear that you have not been feeling well but happy to know that you were well enough to head off to Rathdowney and can not wait to hear all about it and to see your pictures. Stay well now and I apologize for not popping in sooner.

Love you my friend.
