Easter Sunday

Well, at last! Today I managed to get to Church on Scoot for the first time. Still finding the road crossings difficult, particularly as the traffic is so heavy. Nonetheless, several drivers waved me across.

An excellent service as usual, with the choir and the minister in fine form. Easter means so much to the Christian church as it celebrates the birth of Christ.

Many others celebrate at this time of the year as it is the beginning of new life, the grass starting to green, the flowers starting to bloom, the leaves on the trees starting to show buds.

Although there was a bit of a nip in the air, the sun is shining and it really feels like Easter.

This afternoon I am making cock a leekie soup. I am making it with a fowl that requires 4 hours boiling. For the soup, basically you make a stock (usually veal from roasted bones : games of soldiers here) then use the stock to make the soup, so I have decided to make my own version which involves effectively pot roasting the bird and never mind making a separate stock.

I may change my mind later in the day.....
