Happy Easter Sunday, dear blog readers. I love this time of year. I'm not a church-attender these days but as a child I sang in a cathedral choir and Easter music was always the best. And this golden autumnness is also very beautiful. It's the same in the Northern Hemisphere too, I remember longing for green and light after Norwegian winters. It's a time for reflecting and settling into a new phase.
I made some hot cross buns to take to a family morning tea today. I used this recipe, which worked beautifully when I practiced it a few days ago, but not so well today. Isn't that always the way? They were still nice though, just a bit crunchy on top where the sugar glaze turned in to crystals for some reason. I halved the original recipe and soaked the dried fruit in boiling water for a while before mixing.
This Easter weekend has so far included lots of friend-time: coffee dates and morning teas and long lunches. Also a family walk up a big hill with smooth dry grass. Other Easter goodness:
– I heard Samuel Flynn Scott play a gig last night with his band- The Bunnies on Ponies. They played my favourite BOP song- All My Dreams.
– I discovered A Forager's Treasury and will buy it for my bookshelf very soon.
– I've decided I want to learn Esperanto after hearing a radio interview with a linguist while kneading hot cross bun dough.
– I finished my journalism studies last week and need to think about new projects and what lies ahead. This is both thrilling and terrifying. I'm starting by doing some knitting. Always a good idea, I believe.
