Good Friday

One of the reasons I love being here in Cornwall is for the traditions- yesterday was trigging which is what they call cockling. The sun shone and no I didn't embrace the mud, but watched at a discreet distance.

Happy Easter and Wadi Again

It's been a strange Easter Day here. I am used to tradional ones and this one has been any but.... We went to the children's Easter vigil service last night as dd left this morning for her two day residental away from us :-(

However it wan't the usual church thing......we were not allowed to park near the churches and we were searched going in.......also there was a very nice dish dashed man who stood quietly at the back of the church and sereval about the building. There is a point when one knows in one's bones that all was not right and here I was bringing someone elses child into danger. I am pleased to say that all was fine and I thanked the police at the gate who were quietly doing a great job.

So that left today feeling very empty. DD left at 7:30 and we took the boys to the wadi where we took sil. So they swam, climbed a mountain and ate turkey legs with humous. I must confess I was missing DD and roast lamb but it was a brilliant day.

BTW the Easter Bunny was very obliging and came on Saturday morning for us.

Rant and Links

So it's Easter Saturday and I have laid the table for Easter Sunday and I must say it looks pretty with eggs and jelly beans........ We are celebrating Easter Sunday today. Why you may ask - because dd has school tomorrow and not only does she have school tomorrow she is going away on a residential trip! She is eight.

I know where I am living but she goes to a British curriculum school......had she been going to Choifat she would have Easter Sunday off. Something is not right in this picutre.

So today we will celebrate Easter and thankfully we can attend church this evening as a family (the boys arrived yesterday morning).

Now for something writerly.......links. The first one is to Ray-Anne who has a brilliant post on loglines or what you say when you are asked what the book is about......I needed this post! The next one is to Steve Malley again........here and here. The man has a brilliant insight into the writing process.
