I'm not sure if I've posted this one here or not.... :-)) I'd love to hear from any of you who visit the blog ....

anyway save it to your folders if you haven't seen it before and like it to send to family and friends...

Easter is nearly upon us... all those chockies in the stores. I can remember when I was a little girl at home in the small Tasmanian town we lived in. Easter would come and we'd always have a "couta" fish - barracouta - for our main Good Friday meal ... with of course... yummy hot cross easter buns. I have a hard time even finding them here in Canada. And of course there's no barracouta fish. Being a Catholic we never ate meat on Fridays .... and certainly no easter eggs till Easter sunday. Boy have things changed now. As I've grown older I think sometimes I might have been brainwashed by religion ...... never entering a church without a hat on ... if no hat... then we would just put a lace handkerchief over the top of our heads ... bit like a little veil I guess.

Some extras for you to use in your letters to family and friends... I hope you like them.
