All over the valley, the forsythia and the daffodils are blooming golden, their bright flowers visible from afar. Spring has sprung.
Some are eagerly awaiting the warmer weather, while winter sports fans are enjoying the last snow of the season. Many people just want to get outside, be it in their own garden or at a pavement café – some are even considering the first visit of the year to a beer garden or a hike in the countryside.
However, this Easter we’re going to have to be a little patient…
Nooo, really? ☹
Yes, unfortunately so. This year, Easter is early. According to the Gregorian calendar, it falls between 3 and 6 April, while in the Julian calendar it is celebrated a week later. So, although we’ll have to wait a while for the weather to catch up, we can still enjoy the long weekend with family and friends.
Petra is looking forward to a final outing on the ski slopes.
At 5 am, a still sleepy Monica will be attending the Easter bonfire and service at St Bonifaz before making a donation to the homeless charity at the neighbouring Haneberghaus and later celebrating with Lewis and the whole family.
Elisabeth is planning an Easter brunch with family and friends.
Anna will also be celebrating Easter with her family and baking paska, a Ukrainian Easter bread.
Isabella is visiting her family in Bulgaria.
Jeanine will be using the Easter weekend to continue furnishing her new apartment and Veronika is already enjoying her holidays.
And who is probably looking forward to it all the most? Most certainly the children, who are excited to see what the Easter Bunny has hidden for them!
We wish you all a HAPPY EASTER – why not let us know what you have planned or what you got up to? We’d love to hear from you!
