Easter Traditions

My wife also explained that under no circumstances would we be joining in with this tradition and that she would be making herself scarce come Easter. Although I must confess I liked the idea of lots of women serving me with schnapps and chocolate, I did think that beating women with a willow branch and soaking them to the skin with water a bit much, and so agreed that we would go away somewhere for the Easter week-end.

Easter came so early this year, that it was suddenly upon us before we knew what was what. We still hadn't made any definite plans to go away for the weekend by the middle of March, so by and by I convinced my wife that we should spend Easter with her parents. Eventually she agreed and even said that I could join in the Easter Monday traditions, on the strict understanding that on no account was she to get wet.

Spring had well and truly arrived by Easter Saturday in Slovakia. The sun was shining brightly and we enjoyed a lovely weekend, which included long walks, cooking gulas over an open fire, and basking in the unexpected sunshine. On Sunday afternoon, Ria and her mum made cakes and decorated eggs, in preparation for the next day.
