Ducklings Under the Easter Egg Tree!

An annual trip down to the lower forty, yielded a gathering of branches for our Easter egg tree.

One of the Dibble Dabble sisters with small cards and eggs, to be sent to friends!

In "A Time to Keep" and "Seasons of Delight" both by Tasha Tudor, Tasha illustrated an Easter tree above an old cheese strainer with rabbits or ducklings underneath.

 Behind the Easter egg tree there are many Beatrix Potter figurines on the cupboard amongst the teapots and apothecary. The Beatrix Potter figurines are constant companions at tea time throughout the seasons.

Dilley Dibble Dabble and her duckling sisters quack and flap underneath the Easter tree. Dilley Dibble Dabble is the duckling in the pink frock.

Emma and her bunny love the little ducklings!

Oh, so cute!!!

Sarah loved watching and feeding the ducks, too!

We hope our Dear Readers have a lovely Resurrection Sunday!

Tasha Tudor Hot Cross Buns for Good Friday Tea!

 

Charlotte, anticipating Good Friday Tea, made some Hot Cross Buns.

After the dough has risen, she puts the buns on a cookie sheet and allows them to rise again.

 

At the Corgyncombe Bakery, I make Hot Cross Buns, too. After the first rising, warm melted butter is added and the dough is kneaded a bit more.

The dough has risen again.

After rising, the dough is shaped into buns and set aside to rise again.

Setting the Hot Cross Buns out to cool.

The receipt for Hot Cross Buns is from "The Tasha Tudor Cookbook".

The buns have been frosted with a cross on top.

 

Chickalily joins Charlotte for Good Friday Tea with Charlotte's fresh Hot Cross Buns and Tasha Tudor's Welsh Breakfast Tea.

In her hand, Charlotte holds one of Sarah's handmade marbleized eggs.
