Welcome to our April issue, and fingers crossed for some good weather over the Easter weekend, which is relatively early – Friday 7th to Monday 9th – this year. But why does Easter, like the proverbial bunny, hop around so much? In a nutshell, it’s because Easter falls on the first Sunday following the full moon on or after the spring equinox, which is assumed to be 21st March.

Aside from Easter, there’s plenty going on this month – including Ramadan, which finishes on the 21st and St. George’s Day is on the 23rd

On a final note, don’t forget April Fool’s Day –and hands up who remembers the infamous Swiss spaghetti harvest, the remote islands of San Serriffe, and Big Ben being rebranded Digital Dave?

Whatever you’re up to this month, have fun!

All the best, Vicky Heathfield

Fun fact: the rarest date for Easter is 24th March, which last occurred in 1940 and won’t happen again until 2391 – and no, this isn’t an April Fool’s joke!
