Oh Hassle - I am SOOOOO jealous.

If only I could a). get a harrow, b). find (and afford!) something that could pull it up and down our steep hills and c). have anything other than soggy, wet, cloying clay to pull it over - my life would be on a stellar plane

Happy Easter all.

I'm a cynic I know. Christmas I understand - a baby was born. But Easter? Why are we feasting when someone was nailed by his hands and feet to a cross and left to die slowly ?

We celebrate him being raised to life again rather than the dying part of it.

Went to church this morning, came home for lunch and slept in the chair in brilliant sunshine this afternoon. Just about to go and get the veg on to go with the chicken.

Great thing on the Radio this afternoon.

Jesus was a woman!

Why?

Because:

1. He was surrounded by men who just didn't get it

2. Because he had to feed large numbers of people at short notice

3. Even when he was dead he still had to get up because there was more for him to do

Bit of a sad Easter Day here. One of our farm cats, Dobby, was at deaths door this morning. He's hung on all day with loving palliative care from my wife but we'll have a tough decision in the morning I expect. No one could face the trip in to the village for church so we hung around the farm, pottering in the garden and spending some time with Dobby while we can. Dinner was toad in the hole with leeks and pak choi - only thing no grown here was the flour! Off o bed now, been a draining day.
