Far and Away

hahaha @Kurra - definitely showing your age lol - how many could you get for a halfpenny?

Probably not my forte @Kurra - I didn't eat many lollies when I was younger - still don't now! My Nan used to have a tin of lollies but I was never really into them - or ice-cream would you believe!!!! I'd have the ocassional chocolate - always plain dairy milk - simple things hey!!!

Oh wow - what a long day that would have been - and no lollies to show for it @Kurra very sad

My Nan used to buy a chocolate bar and hide it from everyone else so I could have a piece when I wanted it - which wasn't very often. Everyone else would 'raid' the lolly tin when they would visit but I'd go straight outside and be running around the whole time getting dirty or throwing a ball around somewhere. I spent a lot of time at my Nan and Pop's - most weekends when I was little and basically lived there for all of High School!

Hi @Faith-and-Hope How was your crafty morning for church? How are you doing today?

Hi @Zoe7 @Kurra

The morning was lovely and relaxed. I had to leave towards the end of it to pick S2 up from somewhere, so I didn't end up taking photos of our actual work, but these are the type of palm cross we make -

And here is an example of the donkeys -

You can sit a Criss into one of the little baskets on the donkey's back, so he is carrying the cross.

Whike you're waiting for those @Kurra @Zoe7 ..... here are some more examples of palm leaf craft. Some years we have Orthodox Christians turn up from other cultural background where they have a richer craft tradition for Palm Sunday, and I have seen things like this created -
