What I did today! The next chapter!

Blew some eggs and washed them out (also ate the contents, scrambled, with some bacon and mushrooms). Minibags is now painting them.

How nice, B

We had boiled duck eggs and danish pastries for brunch, followed by a sunny 5 mile walk through banks of celandine,violets and wild garlic. Picked some to make pesto later. We also found the first bunch of Star of Bethlehem - beautiful.

Butty your walk sounds idyllic.

We had a funny day with all the grandchildren (10mths to 7 yrs), their parents and my 88 yr old aunt.. egg hunt, brunch of a tasty hash, french toast and fried bananas an bacon, a rice, lamb and cauliflower dish then after an afternoon of play before tea time cakes! They all bundled home at about 5:00 hoping to persuade the kids into bed by seven...first light evening........

A great day ej

Family Sunday lunch at our house with husband, youngest son, step daughter, 2 step granddaughters aged 20 and 17. Roast beef, followed by two puddings made yesterday Pavlova and Banoffe Pie. Feet up now, just finished box of chocolates from step daughter, have to get them out of the way before next 5.2 fasting day, so didn't have any choice they had to go! Half watching Foyle's War, whilst skimming newspapers and internet but waiting with interest for the following programme about the Bronte sisters having visited the parsonage where they grew up in Yorkshire quite recently.

Had lovely day yesterday lunch with 2 very goof friends made mistake eating or sharing Easter egg later mmmm felt quit ill! Tummy still not right!

Yippee today son visiting with partner and stepsons they just left but about 2 hour journey! Better get dressed!

Have good day all

Drove back from The Gower, where we stayed in a beautiful big holiday let with DS2 and family - the very sporty athletic ones! We walked and walked, on wonderful beaches and to rocky coves, where the two fearless little girls and their daddy climbed rocks, made dams and where the youngest eventually fell into a big rock pool...quick run with mummy (the ex heptathlete) back to the car.

What glorious weather too - very cold, but bright and sunny. I feel really invigorated. Did a Sainsbury's order on the way back, ready for DS1 and family who arrive tomorrow, so I will enjoy a moment's peace today!

DGD1 is doing her Assistant Sailing Instructor course this week, here in Devon. Better her than me, out on the water today.

Oh you are lucky ariadne! Where I was born and my favourite place on the planet as well. Good choice but don't tell everybody.

Some happy family times for many of us. I hope those who were not able to be with family at Easter get a turn later in the year.

Today I am off to a garden centre with daughter and family..they are trying to do up their garden. It is very slopey so tricky to plant also has poor soil after many many years of neglect... not all theirs!

I am going to go shopping and try and find a replacement dress for GD2. She is three and I bought a dress for 6 year old and it still did not fit, her sister's 7/8 year old was better so I guess that's what size she will be getting.
