:: Yesterday we were blessed with the most glorious blue sky, what a treat! After so many weeks of heavy grey-white icy skies, the colour and the light felt amazing ::
:: Yesterday we ate buttered hot cross buns for breakfast, which the Little People thoroughly approved of ::
:: Yesterday the sunlight streamed in through the window causing me to feel ridiculously happy ::
:: Yesterday the snow began to melt, and I began to believe that maybe just maybe Winter might finally be over ::
:: Yesterday I made mini chocolate crispy nests with Little B, who had a mega amount of fun licking out the chocolaty bowl afterwards. It was very messy indeed ::
:: Yesterday, Little Lady filled these plastic eggs with little chocolate chicks and organised a surprise Easter egg hunt for her two brothers. Because her Mummy was too busy stitching feathers onto her easter wreath. Sweet, sweet girl, bad, bad Mummy ::
:: Yesterday (as you know) I hung up my Easter Wreath, yyaaayyyyy!!!! It was a great moment ::
:: Yesterday, at around 3.30pm, I revelled in the sound of Complete Silence. Husband at work, two Little People out with friends, one tired Little Person crashed out on the sofa. It was kind of blissful ::
:: Yesterday I spent many moments gazing at my Easter mantel. I took down the teeny tiny hearts and replaced them with last year's Easter blossom. Perfect ::
:: Yesterday I worked very hard at not eating these chocolate eggs, despite the fact that they called to me many times ::
:: Yesterday I realised with a jolt that it's almost seaside time! I got so wrapped up with doing Easter things at home that I had sort of forgotten that we are going away today ::
We leave in a few hours, off down to Dorset to spend time with my family. Need to pack warm clothes and plenty of chocolate and yarn. I can't wait for a week at the coast.
Happy Easter my lovelies, I'll be back here next week ♥

Lucy, the Easter wreath was a delightful riot of colour. Enjoy your holiday. Sydney, Australia, has just had a wonderful early autumn Easter with summer temperatures.

Dear Lucy, What a beautiful Easter-themed home you have made. Such a wonderful place for your little people. They will have so many lovely childhood memories :) You are an amazing mum.
Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! I'm sure you'll have a fabulous time at the seaside and imagine how gorgeously cheerful it will be to be greeted on your return by so much glorious woolly colour!

Yesterday was bright and sunny - a Spring Day for sure. Today we woke up to a quiet world blanketed in snow. March is a fickle month...
Have fun in Dorset - I'm sure that's where spring is now :-)

Enjoy your trip near the sea. I hope the weather will be fine (here, rain, rain and rain).
You could also make some branches of Japanese quince flowers or forsythia.

The sun came out too on Vancouver Island and I saw my first hummingbird of the season at my feeder. It's not officially spring until I see a hummer! Have a fun holiday Luch! Hugs, MO

I spent a couple of blissful hours by the sea on Thursday afternoon, just sitting and watching the waves crashing, sea birds swooping. I'm very lucky to live by the sea, even took my sketch book. Have a wonderful week by the sea with your family, just wrap up warm, it's still freezing down here in the not so balmy south.

Ah Dorset.. not too far from me in Somerset. Enjoy being away from the snow for a little while and hopefully there will be more blue skies to take away the chill a little :)
