Happy Easter!

Been a busy time and I have lots to show you.

First may I wish you all a Happy Easter, whatever your planning.

We had friends round for tea and cakes yesterday, it was lovely. The baking was done and the table was set.
I had the eggs ready to give to the children.


I normally do an Easter Egg Hunt around the garden but it is still suffering from neglect due to the building work and we are in the middle of laying some paths so I didn't do one this year.

The cakes went down well!



so did the Pimms and lemonade!

We sat outside in the warm spring sunshine and the children looked for tadpoles in the pond and played a game of hide-and-seek (with some hiding more successfully than others!)

My guests brought me lots of flowers....

....so the house is full of beautiful spring blooms.
Which is lovely.


Just look at these lovely lilacs, they smell wonderful.
When the visitors had left Hubby and I decided to go for a walk in the woods in the evening, the bluebells are just coming out......but more of those another day!
