Easter Sunday

I was promised candles and fireworks. Nobody mentioned a hanging.  The fireworks were more like mortar shells. If I'd sailed into the harbour with no prior knowledge,  I would have assumed that war had been declared.


An effigy of Judas was hanging over the harbour for most of the day and then at 8pm,  was well and truly  annihilated by multiple musket shots up the rear accompanied by cannon fire from the sea wall. 

My image of Easter has been changed forever. No more bunnies, fluffy chickens and chocolate eggs.
