Good Friday has come upon us so quickly. I was going to do the Easter garden with Raj days ago. I'd planned to sow some grass seed in it that would sprout for Sunday but luckily I found some moss growing on my neighbour's stone wall. So that has made the basis of the garden. We've put in a bowl for a pond and added some flowers and weeds from our own garden. Then we found bits and bobs lying around the house like the ladybird, chick and the bird in the tree. Raj made a caterpillar out of paper (which has already gone soggy) but the plan is that before he wakes on Easter morning I will replace it with a butterfly. I got the idea from a lovely book called 'All Year Round' which has ideas for all the festivals and how to celebrate them with children.
Other than our garden we've made Hot Cross Buns ofcourse which have turned out surprisingly well this year (they've been like paperweights in the past). Tom and the children are outside planting potatoes, the sun is shining and lambs are bleating in the field. I'm off to put the kettle on but not before wishing all my lovely blogging friends HAPPY EASTER.
Happy Easter to you all too!

I love your site, I just found it through the comment you put on vintage pleasure. Those hot cross buns look superb. You must of been really confident of the result to baked so many!! It would have been disasterous to have had so many if they'd gone wrong!! Wonderful idea of changing the caterpilla to a butterfly. Have a lovely easter bye!

Brilliant paper covered egg down there, I'll have to try that next year. And the hot cross buns look so inviting, just need a cup of tea and perfect!
I'll post my easter bread later...
Happy Easter!
