Easter wishes + a sweet childhood memory


Hello friends, wishing you all a very happy Easter, whatever it means for you.


Whoops, one egg didn't survive. It was very cracked so I thought it best to eat it.

So, my little Easter memory...
When my sister and I were very young we went with my parents to visit some of their friends who lived in a timber cottage in the forest just outside of Hobart. They had a toilet in an old phone box and their bath was outside, over a fire. There was a stream flowing by the house.
Rachael and I decided to go exploring and couldn't believe our eyes when we found a trail of Easter eggs! We collected as many as we could find and ran excitedly back to the house to be told that they were in fact hidden for the children who lived in the house. We were devastated as we seriously thought the Easter bunny had left them for us. We were told to return them and I have to admit, they went back in a very haphazard manner. For memory, we were so upset we threw quite a few of them! Do you remember that Rachael?

Keep safe everyone :)

  6. So love a good Easter Egg hunt, mine 4 are having a very small hunt for Sunday, they asked if they could only have Lindt eggs & bunnies, yes, pricey so their Easter bunny is going for quality over quantity. Love Posie

  9. That's so funny, well now anyway. My best easter tale. I shared a room with one of my sisters, one year she unwrapped all her easter chocolate (we used to get an awful lot) and broke it up and put it in an ice-cream bucket near the door. Every time I left our room I took a little bit, as I was certain she wouldn't notice. Sadly I must have exited our room too many times and Al noticed. She was really angry with me, and still reminds me of it 20 years later!!

  15. Such a traumatic memory would stick with me too.
    Poor children!
    Agree that broken candy has to be eaten.
    Have the same policy here.

    Hugs

  16. He he love the story. I can imagine the disappointment when you found out about who the eggs were for :( and think perhaps I would have returned them in a similar manner. Their home sounds so wonderful though, a little bit magical x

    Thank you so much for your words of comfort for my dear Toby. I have cried buckets of tears these last few days, but it is the comfort of sweet friends like you that hold me up during this difficult time...I can't thank you enough.
