HAPPY EASTER

Over the years I have noticed that Good Friday is usually the best day weather wise of the Easter Holiday.

My Mum used to say that the sun always shone on Good Friday and I remember many happy, sunny Good Fridays out with my boys when they were little.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it is always WARM - that would be a stretch too far, and I remember in 2008 decorating my bedroom over Easter while it snowed, but while Easter Sunday and Monday can often be cold, wet and windy - Good Friday usually behaves impeccably.

 

And today, On the Green, the daffodils are dancing in the sunshine,

The sky is blue,

And the eggs are laid.

Have a super weekend.

Bye for now,

Ruth.

Hello,

Recently I have been feeling a little directionless, but a few years ago, when I organised Craft Fairs locally, I did write a blog for a while.  It fell by the wayside, but recently I thought "Why not begin again?" and so here we are.

I decided to call this blog "On The Green" as this is where I live in a village of about 2000 people.

We are very lucky here to have a village general shop, a hairdresser, a fish and chip shop, a social club, snooker club, an excellent pub, a school with pre-school, doctors' surgery, the Baptist Chapel and St. Mary's church and there is something going on most evenings.

When out walking just along the main street, or further afield in the woods or by the river, you will nearly always run into someone and stop for a chat or at least a hello.

When we were in the pub this weekend at a 21st party, someone said to me "We are a family here and all look out for each other."  How wonderful is that?

I have chosen the pic above, looking over the gate to pastures new, in the form of my blog and hope you will join me in my simple life of homemaking, crafting, reading, gardening and general village goings on.

See you again soon,

Ruth.
