So, after spending the better part of the day working on this, I now have an #iCal file that contains _one_ event for Easter, which is using an RDATE property to list all of the Easter dates in about 200 years (because it's an irregular event and normal repeat rules won't work).

Neighbour calves not loving the cold wet- one looking like the starry void! We were forecast 10-20cm of #snow Sunday through Monday- we got a bit of rain Mon afternoon, turned to rain/snow melting on the ground, eventually started turning white outside early evening.
