We ran a trip up to Turon NP and Hill End the weekend before last. We'll probably find something to do on the farm ( there's always plenty of fencing in case we get bored). Oh, and the CJ10 that's currently keeping my RRS out in the rain.

Easter isn't actually in the Bible (well the word is mentioned once in English versions, but it is a mis-translation of Passover).
The history of the hot cross bun | Gourmet Traveller
"The Saxons, we are told, ate buns marked with crosses in honour of Eostre, goddess of spring or light, who gave her name to Easter. Antiquarians cite similar practices among the Druids, Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans in honour of Diana, goddess of the hunt and the moon. Some of the sacred "cakes" were marked with the image of deer or ox horns, and others a cross, signifying the four quarters of the moon. Indeed, if you were to go to Pompeii today you could see the remains of such buns in an ancient bakehouse. Herodotus tells us that at the time they were left in sanctuaries built at crossroads for fugitives and hunters. The Bible records that in 587BC Jeremiah denounced Hebrew women for neglecting their Christian father and continuing to worship Diana, offering up "cakes to the moon, the queen of the shining sky". Of course, the early Christian church didn't have time for such pagan idolatry and marshalled the buns into the service of God............"
D4 not together as it’s evolved since I started and I’m awaiting more components.
90 and camper headed for Melrose Saturday and head to the Riverland Sunday.
We found something to do - 8 flyblown sheep today to match the 13 last weekend..... Its been a bad year for it here, we've jetted twice so far this year, just hanging out to get last years lambs shorn and crutching done sometime in the next couple of weeks.
