It's Easter and, as always, I get that feeling of childhood days preparing and
celebrating another special Christian holiday. It was different back then but
my memories are still very clear.
This morning I'm listening to English music I love so much,
Ralph Vaughan Williams' "Fantasia On A Theme By ThomasTallis"
and "Fantasia On Greensleeves" with Sir John Barbirolli.
In my mind I clearly see pictures of the Spring landscape I grew up in,
the coast of Devon, Dartmoor tors, rolling dairy farms, banks of yellow
primroses, thatched cottages and storybook villages.
This music makes me quite homesick but also brings me joy. . . . . . and
always hope that I will get home 'one more time.'
Of course several more times would be even better!
It's turned quite cold again here and those early sunny really warm
Spring days have disappeared. We are remaining close to home as rain
is falling all day. Tomorrow we hope to celebrate Easter Sunday in
sunshine. . . .and I will enjoy choosing which Easter bonnet to wear!
HAPPY EASTER DEAR READERS
