Happy Easter

Its quietly crept up on me this year. And now, suddenly, its Easter this coming weekend. Wow! And we all know what this means, don't we?

CHOCOLATE - fantastic!!


Of course there is a lot more to Easter than an extra long weekend, hot cross buns and a ridiculous level of chocolate consumption - its just that these are the best bits.

So what does Jenny from the Blog have planned for the Easter break? Hmmmm, let me see.

The annual Eliot Easter Egg Hunt on Good Friday. Hosted by nearby friends, this is always great fun. The Easter Bunny makes an appearance, the kids hunt for eggs around a beautiful garden and then everybody eats, drinks and talks a lot. Perfect.

Also planned is a family bike ride - 2 bikes, 2 parents, 2 kids. This event will take place on the best weather day of the weekend, and with any luck our lovely neighbours might join us.

The remaining part of the weekend will be left to chance. We are not known for our forward planning prowess, and I am a firm believer that those occasions that occur spontaneously are often the best. Yep - there's a good chance we'll be doing nothing. But on Sunday, ooooh, we might find a little something like this:

In case you're worried, I didn't tip out some lovely baby birds from their nest in the name of a photo opportunity. This nest was blown out of a tree a few weeks ago in our 'Wild-Weather Fest'. Hatchling No.1 has kept it at our front door since then, in preparation for the Easter Bunny's visit. I can't imagine where he gets this behaviour from...

On that note, may the Easter Bunny leave you as many eggs as you can lift.

Happy Easter everyone.
