Our Easter Day.


We had a wonderful Easter Sunday... we read Mark's Gospel about the Resurrection and had boiled blue eggs for breakfast with home made sour dough bread, toasted. 

 
Sorry no pics of our breakfast I didn't think about taking a photo, only tucking to my eggs and that bread! 

It seems you have certain chickens to have blue eggs, a bit like white chickens laying white eggs. We used to have chickens in our small back garden when I was little, a hang over from the war. I never thought about them, but often had a boiled egg for tea. 

The sunshine was glorious and the temperature got up to 18C 

We had the traditional dinner too, Welsh lamb, bought locally so had been reared on the Mumbles Salt Marshes.. it was delicious with mint sauce, the mint grown in a pot, so very fresh. All followed by Rhubarb from the garden, and made with a crumble topping and I had Evaporated milk, Dh had custard.

And after that we sat and relaxed.

I remembered my 2001 Easter in Israel with my church friends. It was cold and wet there some days, but we didn't mind. We were there to walk where Jesus had walked. On the afternoon when we went to the garden of the Tomb, it was dry and warm and we had a Communion service there, nothing ostentatious, just a simple Bread and Wine, I still have the little individual wooden cup we were given. Some amazing memories but my best one was us when we were staying in a kubutz.. We walked out into the desert which was pitch dark and sang.. 'Be still for the presence of the Lord'

Sounds like a lovely Easter celebration. It must have been incredible to be in Jerusalem.

All our white chickens laid brown eggs, it's the little coloured dots by a chickens ears that tells you what colour eggs they will lay. Legbars and legbar crosses lay the blue eggs. I had four Skylines, which are a Legbar cross and they all laid different shades of blue eggs, it was fascinating.
