I don’t know why we bother making Easter a Bank Holiday weekend – effectively creating a four-day break. The weather never plays ball! We had a nice few days last week: warm sun, blue skies. We were all getting quite excited. The blossom came out and cheered us up. We had a nice day in Greenwich, other days spent outdoors with a paint brush or a mower. I knew it couldn’t last!
Two days of the ‘holiday’ gone with pleasant weather, and now as I write this on Easter Sunday afternoon, the rain is pouring down, it’s cold and the fire is already lit to warm us up. Brrr! It feels like we’ve gone back to the edge of winter.
So, to match the cold, here’s a photo of a wood store. Not from this last winter, but about two winters ago in Morzine in the Portes du Soleil ski area. I was waiting for the bus to take me to the lifts and spotted this.
Processed as per usual through Photoshop with Poster Edge added to give it a little extra edginess.

Mother Nature has been up to her games again I see. I can’t complain as we had a beautiful weekend. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter Andy.

Thanks Edith. April is always a capricious month – a ‘between seasons’ month.

Thanks Len. We expect variable weather over here in April – somehow the Easter weekend seems to be like a magnet attracting the less good weather.

I still think a 4 day weekend and lousy weather is better than work, especially if you can curl up nice and warm in front of a fire!

I agree entirely. I’m in the lucky position of never going to work these days.

That sounds like the pits. There’s nothing worse than when the weather refuses to cooperate with your plans. On the other hand I ended up getting sun burned. 🙂

Thanks for your comment Phillip. The sun is surprisingly strong when it does come out, even in April. I too ended up rather red-faced the week before Easter.

Ah, that wood could keep the fireplace going all through the winter. It looks lovely. As for the weather, I’ve had similar experiences on pre scheduled holidays. Sometimes, a good thing seems to tempt fate…

Thanks for your comment, Shimon. My wood pile is nowhere near as big as this, and it’s shrunk considerably during this last winter.

Thanks Jim. There’s nothing quite like sitting in front of a real fire on a cold day.
