Holy Friday

Holy, Pious, or Good, either way, a special Friday is here once more; in the Okanagan we are blessed with a high pressure system above us and glorious wind-free sunshine all around us. It is time for some of us to smear the blood of a Spring lamb on our doorposts to ensure the Spirit of the Lord passes over our house. And make flatbread.

For others, it is another Bank Holiday decorated with lambs, bunnies, and eggs. One is encouraged to stay home and enjoy local beauty-spots rather than clog roads and airports. We are off with friends to explore cherry-blossomed lanes and old Kaleden Road with views of the lake, then to our favourite Linden Gardens to see the Spring Flowers. The gardens open this week-end for visitors. Happy Easter!....
