April Fools Day

Haven'tbeen caught out yet, except by the weather.  The sun has been streaming into the conservatory but it is still very cold outside.  My brother always caught me with his April Fool jokes even though I determined each year to watch out for his pranks.

I listened to a lovely Easter service on the radio, thinking this is on early, then the announcer said it is nine o'clock and I realised I had forgotten to change my clocks to British Summer Time.  British Summer Time!! That;s a laugh.  It is still like the Arctic out of doors and the forecasters are still talking about snow showers.  There were two other beautiful church services on the TV.  I love to hear the choirboys' voices soaring up into the roof.  They all look so angelic.  I miss going to church but life is a bit difficult one way and another.

When I was running the Sunday school we would get the children to make an Easter garden with a hill covered in moss and three wooden crosses on top and a border of primroses round the base.  Beside the hill we would make a papier mache cave with a large pebble from the beach to represent the tomb and the stone that was rolled away  We placed these in the church porch .  The children really enjoyed making this and would bring all sorts of things from the seashore to add to the decorations.
