Happy Easter

This is one of the little Easter nests that I put around the garden for the kids' egg hunt. It's simply a brown paper bag rolled down with some little "robin's eggs" in it. They looked super cute.

I also scattered wrapped chocolate eggs for the kids to find. We made it nice and easy as poor Bella has a nasty fever and isn't up to much today.

Kit has been riding the sugar roller coaster all day. He has to eat everything right away! And I had to put up this photo with the grass stains on his knees. Typical Kit.
It's not warm out there...only 4 degrees C when we were out hunting eggs, but it's lovely and sunny, so I had a lovely time wandering around the garden and photographing signs that warmer weather is on it's way.

The very first tiny daffodil.

A little bird home awaiting a new tenant.

Little purple fresias (?) popping up in the grass.

Bare trees starting to bud.

Matt trying to read in the hammock...it was still a little too cold when the wind picked up.

Honey enjoying the sunshine.

And the boys out playing cricket...getting warm enough to take jackets off and leave them outside!

And I had to share this photo which was on my camera of a little kitten who likes to sleep on top of the heating outlets.


I have been trying to make hot crossed buns all day, but they just won't rise...anyone have any good recipes that I can use for next year??? Hope you have a lovely day.
