Easter

We thought the Easter weekend would be quiet with no family visiting but our eldest son called to say he would like to come and stay over. He said if we met him at Richmond he would take us on a nice walk. 

We had a great day, walking along the Thames, through Richmond Park and to the Isabella Plantation which has amazing azaleas planted throughout. 

We walked back through the park to Petersham Nurseries for lunch, back along the Thames and to the car to drive home. Ben and I then went out to Ashridge to see the beautiful bluebells. Sunday was church where my husband preached on the new life we can experience through Jesus and then our neighbour joined us for lunch, such a lovely Easter time.

I don't really have many good Easter photo's, the weather wasn't very sunny and life just skipped by with not much time for photo shoots. 

Yogi hid the chocolate eggs

 cornflour and water play was a hit, if not a little messy

 Can you just see the mischief oozing from these girls?

easter catch up

Just grabbing a few minutes to post some of my daughters Easter photo's while they have all gone into London for the day. Tomorrow they will be driving home to Devon but we have had a lovely time while they have been here

 

Gilby likes his chocolate bunny

Here they are in place, seeds planted but not yet growing

They also made good hiding places for the eggs on Easter Sunday

Gilby getting the Hang of the Easter Egg Hunt

The big sisters led the way, showing him how its done

It didn't take long for him to get the idea

Pretty chuffed with himself...a good result!

Devon Bound

Going to Devon tomorrow to see the family...not sure I will get chance to post before or during our visit so I pray you will all enjoy a blessed Easter time.
