    I have seen 64 Easters so far , can't remember too many decent ones ! Due to the festival floating from approx March 21 to April 21 . Why can't it be fixed , just the holiday , to the third week in April ? I think this was proposed many many years ago . But nowadays with a multicutural society , I am sure the Hindus , Sikhs , Muslims , Budhists , Jews, Pagans would vote for a change :blue thumb:

    As it isn't their religion I wouldn't think they would care what the dates are!! :biggrin:

    Incidentally, Hay is preparing for the annual book festival, and that always has bad weather!!! :noidea:

      I believe Easter is set by the phases of the moon.
      Always has been, so dont see why Hindus , Sikhs , Muslims , Budhists , Jews, or even Pagans should have a vote.

      If they did, I'd expect a vote regarding all their events.;)

        I can remember some Easters that were quite warm around the end of March, and some that were pretty cold and wet at the third week of April.

        Its Spring in Britain, that means you take each day at a time.
        Come to think of it we do that most summers as well.:scratch:
