Easter

This morning, being Easter (well, in some people’s minds, at least) – some of our neighbours hosted a little breakfast party.

We don’t normally celebrate Easter, being that I’m Animist, Purple is Jewish and Littletree is Hindu, and especially as we’re in the Southern Hemisphere, where it’s a totally inappropriate time of year for Spring celebrations. But it was wonderful to sit on the deck in the rainforest enjoying a feast with friends. And what a feast it was!

Slovakian traditional aniseed breads, Hot Aum Buns

Home made quince jelly, carob bunny jellies

Oranges dipped in a special coffee liqueur

And beautiful hand painted eggs.

Funnily enough, there was a sprinkling of chocolate eggs around, but no one ate any of them – even the children ignored them in favour of all the luscious foods. But they do make nice decorations!
