Easter in the East

Happy Easter
Actually, I'm almost too late for that. It's Sunday evening, and Easter is almost over.
That means it's the beginning of April. Time is still flying.
We're on Summertime. It's officially Spring. And the kids are on weeklong Easter holidays (vacation). And what else is new?

It seems that the temperature in England is similar to Bermuda, at least on paper...
The children's school had two sport's days. One for the elementary school, and one for the high school. Which means that I had to run in the parents' races twice, and my muscles have been telling the tale for the last couple of days.
The weather was sunny with a cool breeze. Quite deceptive, as I almost got sunburnt :-) Well I don't complain about the tan.

It's custom in Bermuda on Good Friday to fly kites. It rained a lot, but in between we tried...and then tried to get them out of the trees anyway.
Another custom is eating hotcross buns with fish cakes, with a bit of mayo and relish. And the church members made sure we had plenty of it.

Today some "gombey" dancers came passing by the house (google it for a definition). And a good number of the neighbours came out to watch them. Felt a bit like community... It reminds me that we live in what would be called a small village back in England. And at this point in time I don't mind living in such a place. It's quiet (too quiet some say), it feels somehow cozy. Although, every night the BA flight back to London reminds me that there're bigger places.

And finally, of course, the bus pass in April is purple.
