Happy Easter!

Easter was a busy one for us....with so many family to see in various cities, and all in the space of one bank holiday weekend....

First off was Leicester, where we got to meet my cousin's baby for the first time......

Then it was on to Nottingham, where the next morning, Easter Sunday, the kids got to do an egg hunt courtesy of Pippi......

First she hid the eggs in the front garden (the back was still too soggy)

The off the kids went

 

As a child, we never did egg hunts, in fact, the first and only time I did one was on my first visit to Germany aged 18.  The family I stayed with had two girls and they hid little eggs and sweets around my room, then stood by excitedly as I hunted for them.  It was lovely and a wonderful surprise.

After a couple nights in Nottingham, where we sadly had to leave the kids, we drove on to Birmingham to visit Nick's grandmother.  Cue, lots of food....yum!

And at every stop we got to share the good news.
