Happy Easter!
It is the evening of Easter Sunday...
it has been a cold, wet and gloomy day, but our hearts are happy.
After morning Church and a visit from the Easter Chocolate bunny,
we had a perfect Zoom with our family:
In five different locations around the country and the world, we simultaneously saw all our children and grandchildren.
It was just lovely...
The little twins wore blue bunny ears - adorable says this smitten Grannie.
On Saturday we had a visit from our two pretty girl grandpuppies..
This one a young puppy,
and the other her older and wise cousin/sister:
They are beautiful dogs, well behaved, and fun.
They loved romping around on the fresh green grass, courtesy of a very wet Autumn..
Even the monarch likes a visit from family at Easter..
This pretty view is at Windsor, with Prince Charles and Her Majesty.
Sharp eyed bloggers might have noticed the Queen on her first public outing in months last week, honouring Australian servicemen at a memorial at Runnymede on the Thames.
Sporting a fabulous Easter bonnet, Her Majesty also showed off her Australian Wattle Brooch:
As some of you know, I have my own replica, bought on the Buckingham Palace tour in 2016. Every now and then I get a chance to wear it -
although pandemic times have rather put at stop to that...
He is risen, indeed, Alleluia

Happy Easter to all

Happy Easter, Trish!
ReplyDeleteI almost thought the last photo was painted by El Greco. When I saw it was painted by a Spanish painter, I thought they must have influenced each other with how they painted light.
How pretty and healthy all the rain and "wet" has made your trees and grass. So green.
The Queen is and always looks amazing! It's the rest of us who are growing old. :)
Very similar to El Greco, and of the same era and style. I do enjoy the drama of the Spanish painters. Happy Easter Debbie.

ReplyDeleteBright day that art hallowed forever . . ."
On a secular note, the Queen looks a perfect breath of spring in that pale green ensemble with the wattle brooch.
As always, thank you for your lovely posts.

Happy Easter Gretchen. So nice to see the Queen out enjoying the Springtime.
DeleteHappy Easter my dear beautiful Trish! Yes, He is risen - hallelujah! 🙏 Sounds like you had a wonderful day! I'm so glad you got to see family, even if it was online. That brooch is SO stunning! I hope you have lots of excuses to wear it in the future. 😉 Blessings. ❤️
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Carrie. Here's to some post-pandemic glamorous occasions :) Have a great week. x
DeleteA belated Happy 🐣 Patricia. What a gloomy weekend and so it continues .... I am really looking forward to some sunshine again. The parrots on the bird feeder are bedraggled and everything feels damp. However it’s wonderful for the garden ... and the water bill!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you too. So gloomy and wet - our birds look bedraggled and unhappy as well. At least the tanks are full again :)
DeleteI was thinking of you when I heard the sad news of Prince Phillip as you always write about the royal family. I feel I knew him a little since watching The Crown, he was my favorite there.
