Happy Easter Doc 
Thanks! Happy Easter :)
Hope you are enjoying your weekend or are you working 
Enjoying :) Hope you are too.
Had a lovely time just waiting for the snow. Apparently we are down to get a fair bit love Buxton 

Just started snowing here 
I do like snow a lot, but could do with a sun now...! :-)
Snow is nice to look at but you are right sun is definitely needed 
Happy Easter! Any literature on the Viking era egg representing the resurrection? A connection like that seems like it may’ve been attributed later.
Thanks, Happy Easter! It's probably 11thC, I believe, and the characteristic product of the Kiev area; the interpretation is quite well-established e.g. James Graham-Campbell, Viking Artefacts (London: British Museum, 1980), p. 97 :) A bit more here, fwiw: http://www.himlenarhar.se/foremal/resurrection-egg/?lang=en …
A ceramic egg would probably be rather chewy! Wishing you a restful Easter break.
Thank you; I hope you have a restful day too! :)
Happy Easter, Caitlin! Thanks for all your great posts, I love learning about this stuff :)
Happy Easter! Glad you enjoy! :)
