Late as usual, I wanted to wish everyone belated Easter
Easter Chickens
greetings and I hope that the Easter bunny was kind. To be honest, the whole shebang has been vexing me somewhat this year- for example, what’s this business with Easter cards? They seem to be everywhere this year- along with a wide selection of Easter wrapping paper (??) and bonnet-making equipment. Have people always sent them or have I just been missing something for years?
The funny thing is my most blissful Easter moment this year was wandering round a sunny Durham on Easter Sunday- with all of the shops closed. It was quite a weird experience actually and something you rarely see; I suppose the only other day shops really close is Christmas day and then everyone’s too busy to notice. But there it was on Sunday- families strolling, gaggles of teenage girls looking in windows, couples eating chips- just without all the rush and carrier bags. I am now toying with the idea of beginning a campaign to bring back Sunday (or any day) closing, though, sadly, I think my zeal may dissipate the next time I really need a book/ pair of tights/ last minute birthday pressie on the day of rest…
Still, my dreamy Easter day did give me some space for some White Tiger musings. It seems to be working in reverse for me- I often finish a book and find myself liking it more than I did when I was actually reading it but this one, well, I’m just becoming more and more irritated by it. Very easy to admire but hard to love, maybe? But I suppose, we’ve still got a few weeks before meeting though, so who knows what will happen by then.
Oh and don’t forget to book for Queen Bee (see events page) and Hexham Book Festival. All selling fast..
