We’re Going On A Bear Hunt

You may have seen some bears in the windows of houses as you have been walking around the neighborhood. Australian children are joining a global bear hunt, making walks around the neighborhood lots of fun during the COVID-19 disruption.
The hunt is inspired by the children’s book “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt” by Michael Rosen, in which the characters sing “We’re going on a bear hunt, we’re going to catch a big one – what a beautiful day, we’re not scared”.
The initiative has been widely shared on community Facebook pages across Australia, mirroring similar bear hunts right across the world.
Of course it goes without staying that we have some bears in windows at Hester Canterbury (and a couple of Easter Bunnies).
See how many you can spot at Hester Canterbury.

Some background to Two Easter Traditions….

Hot Cross Buns
It is difficult to pinpoint exactly when people started making hot cross buns. The tradition supposedly began in the 12th century with a monk who was inspired to mark his rolls with the cross to celebrate Good Friday.

Dyed Eggs
According to some legends Mary Magdalene bought eggs with her to Jesus’ crucifixion, and blood from his wounds fell on the eggs, coloring them red.
Another tells that Mary Magdalene brought a basket of cooked eggs to share with other women at the tomb three days after his death. When they   rolled back the stone at the tomb’s   entrance they found the   tomb empty   and the eggs had   turned red.

Week one of the Autumn Menu starts on Monday 13th April.
Please place any orders by lunchtime the Thursday before.
Bon Appetit!
