No Eggscuses

There's no excuse (or should that be eggscuse!) for today's shot - just a lazy man's blip of the Easter eggs we bought on the Good Friday big food shop. Me and my brother usually cook three courses on Easter Sunday so that normally involves the aforementioned big shop and quite a lot of prep.
I intended to follow a rather ambitious Tom Kerridge menu I found in a food magazine - a starter of chargrilled sprouting broccoli with romesco sauce, corrra lin cheese (no I've never heard of it either!), lemon and parsley, a mains of ale-braised shoulder of lamb with a side of jersey royal potato, pea and mint salad and a pudding of hot cross bun bread and butter pudding with Yorkshire rhubarb compote but I lost some of my enthusiasm after being unable to find half of the suggested ingredients and the frankly unjustifiable cost for one meal - the cheapest shoulder of lamb I could find came in at £28! So we settled on just getting the ingredients for the 'posh' potato salad, the pud and a shoulder of pork at a fraction of the cost of that lamb.
After that conspicuous consumerism we did feel in need of a reminder of what Easter should really be about so we watched Pilgrimage: The Road to North Wales on BBC2. Over the last few years at Easter there has been a different pilgrimage following a group of celebrities with differing faiths and beliefs as they immerse themselves in a spiritual journey.
The pilgrims on this occasion included the wildlife presenter Michaela Strachan - who places her faith in the natural world, Spencer Matthews, a former 'Made in Chelsea" reality star, who was christened Church of England but is still searching for answers to life's big questions, Sonali Shah, a journalist and TV presenter, who grew up in a Jain family, Eshaan Akbar, a comedian, writer and actor, who is a lapsed Muslim, Tom Rosenthal, an actor who describes himself as areligious, Amanda Lovett, a practicing Catholic, who was catapulted into the public eye in the first series of Traitors and Christine McGuinness, the model, TV personality and autism advocate (following her own recent diagnosis), who is spiritual but doesn't practice a particular faith as they follow a route linked by churches dedicated to early Christian saints that takes them through places of outstanding natural beauty in the mountain ranges of Eyyri. also known as Snowdonia, and the North Wales coastal path.
I'm normally pretty cynical about most celebrity travelogues but I always find these pilgrimages calming, thought provoking and often moving as faith is questioned, friendships are formed, life experiences exchanged and soul searching engaged in. 
Having said all that I'll still be stuffing my face with chocolate on Sunday! :-)
