Good day Bloggets. So, in your country do you eat only fish
on a Good Friday? Sadly, it’s a tradition in the UK that is dying. I still cook
Hub fish and of course Boy Wonder and I have vegetarian food anyway. It’s
tradition that we have fish and chips/Fried potatoes on Good Friday. But I can
bet you that every single person in our street today will not bother with that.
So, we don’t go to church we are not typical religious people, but we do stick
to tradition. I don’t know if my Husband did before he married me but I do and
will always. My Son when he ate meat he kept to that, even when he was on
holiday during Easter. So, I hope he will stick to that tradition when he is
bringing up his children.
I have prepared everything, for my mini Bloggets who read
this blog, the Easter chick has been and kindly left us special Easter eggs
which are even magically boiled for us and come in a beautiful colour of deep
reddish brown, they are shiny too almost as if they have boiled them in red
onion peal and polished them with butter… They look apparently beautiful. And
the Bunny has been too, not sure when all this action went on in my house, as I
thought I heard chirping, and when I went in the kitchen, there was a dish of
beautiful eggs. And in my sitting room, a basket for BW full of all kinds of
treats and two large eggs as well as a small one. There was a huge egg for my
Husband and myself and one for me and him to share. Strangely in our fridge
there is another basket full of goodies for BW. Sham has a surprise too. There’s everything from chocolate bunny paws
to mini bunny rabbits to chocolate Easter chicks and golden eggs.
We have warm hot cross buns with butter to eat with a cup of
tea. I haven’t got daffodils this year for the first time over Easter. But have
had some over the week leading up to Easter. And have more coming on Monday.
It’s pouring with rain and this morning it was sleet. Apparently,
the snow due on Monday, will be pink. From the desert. That is just very odd.
Imagine pink snow?
I have fond memories of taking my Son as a small child on
Easter hunts in large fine halls, and grounds. The weather always seemed to be
nice. I saw a funny thing the other day, advertising an Easter carrot hunt…
Firstly, I thought to myself, gosh, I can’t imagine many
children getting excited about hunting for carrots, but then I thought of the
kids who are allergic to chocolate.
We in England had the best chocolate in the world in my
opinion then sadly, we sold out to America and now our delicious Cadbury’s tastes
like Hershey bars. It’s waxy and bland.
Talking of America, I had the best Easter in the world there
with friends some years ago. Gosh, it was so exciting and there were so many
gifts you could buy. Our friends bought us the cutest cuddly toys that sang and
made movements. Even down to salt and pepper pots which I had to buy to add to
my collection, were of boiled eggs in egg cups. Gosh, I wish I could bring back
those days for certain things. Not for the work Hub did at the time though I fear
his work will get close to that as from Tuesday his role will involve more
travel, only not abroad. He went for a job interview a few weeks ago kind of
forced into it as there was no choice he wants the best for his team and for us
as a family. Well, he got the job we only learned a few days ago. So, let’s see
where the next adventure takes us. What ever the case I know Hub will do his
best as he doesn’t do failure. Our Brother in law and my Sister in law, have
been so very supportive and for that we are so grateful. I have been touched by
Hubs brother and my Sister. Their words have shown so much care, thought and
love.
Tomorrow is an
interesting day. We are due a delivery. Excited dot com… More later. Until then
have a great weekend.
