Easter and Daffodils

Easter Sunday was such a pleasant day for us! Folks from thethirdplace and Dickens Heath Village Church met up together for breakfast, a short Easter service, and then spent 90 minutes distributing 200 bunches of daffodils and chocolates in the village. Before and during breakfast, we wrapped the daffodils with yellow ribbons. Then after the service, we took a leaflet, the flowers, and the chocolates into random places in the village and knocked on doors and wished our neighbours “Happy Easter.” The responses ranged from smiles of gratitude and conversations on the doorstep, to anger and hostility (for waking up one person at 11.30am from a late night party and accompanying hangover) to “How much money do you want for the flowers?” “No, we just want to wish you a happy Easter.”
