On Wednesday we went to a funeral at the same church where we were married. All the statues were covered with purple cloths and the lights were low. The 2021 Easter candle was lit for the last time. The Priest said that on Good Friday all ornaments would be removed and the candle extinguished. But on Sunday lights would be on, the statues uncovered, and the church would be decorated with flowers to represent the resurrection.

I walked by the Thames early this morning.

The sun rose soon after 6 am.

It is now 7:50 am and the bells of St Helen’s Church are ringing for the 8 am service.

Happy Easter!
