The Jackalope is the recognised emblem of FolkEast. Now hunted to extinction, the earliest record of this gentle creature can be found in the mid 14th Century, around the same time that archery became a sport. Image courtesy of the Eastfolk University Press from the Book of Ours.

I should really have posted this on Thursday, in time for that well known day of celebration, Easter Thursday (to quote Squeezy). Peter and John during lockdown, entertaining you all, Easter 2020.

Ring out Wild “ Pancake Bells”
From the 1600’s, the pancake bell would ring out on Shrove Tuesday in parishes across the land - a signal for people to start frying pancakes.
Happy Flippn’ Tuesday!
