Well I've had my Hot Cross Buns for breakfast - yum and now we have a lazy day ahead - the weather here in the UK is wintery - last easter was so much later and we had beautiful blue skies and hot sun - in fact there are photos of us in t-shirts enjoying a Easter egg hunt! Why do they change the month Easter falls in? I have been told its something to do with the moon and would love to know if this is true - maybe a google is in order!
OK this is what I have found out Easter Sunday is the Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon (PFM) date for the year. In June 325 A.D. astronomers approximated astronomical full moon dates for the Christian church, calling them Ecclesiastical Full Moon (EFM) dates. From 326 A.D. the PFM date has always been the EFM date after March 20 (which was the equinox date in 325 A.D.).
But next year apparently it falls on April 12th so I think a picnic will better be saved for next year!!
I haven't a great deal to show as my dizzy spells are still happening - I think I may have to brave the dr next week. FIngers crossed I will be able to still create something this weekend ☺

Hi Jo,
I'm not sure if you remember me, I got in touch some months ago when I was just getting back into making jewellery, and you gave me some advice on suppliers. Your jewellery is really beautiful - I especially love the silver studs and turquoise dangles in your post today. Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks everyone - I'll be ok :)
Ali P I do remember you - had a look at your blog and website - you are making some beautiful pieces :)
