26 March : Eggs


The cottage has been egg-ified for Easter. MrM reeled in shock to find an Easter 'tree' on the breakfast table but I explained that it was only there for three days and he decided, on reflection, that it would not impinge too negatively on his orange juice, cereal and toast. The Easter garland was another source of trauma but MrM eventually agreed that it was a subtle addition to the seasonal decor provided it was only there for three days. Next year I am going to break out the Easter bunting but don't tell him yet. 


Yesterday was glorious sunshine - perfect weather for getting a puncture on the motorway. Today is wet and stormy - perfect weather for going out to lunch to celebrate MissM's recent promotion. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunshine and showers - almost perfect weather for the traditional family Easter egg mêlée. I hope that the Easter Bunny brings enough chocolatey goodness for the little boy cousins.


I wish you all a peaceful weekend.

  1. I hope that you have a good weekend too.

    Every year I think that I would like to decorate for the season but every year I fail to do so. This year, as last, I also failed to buy a Hot Cross Bun. I do, however, have a bar of salted caramel chocolate.

    1. Life would not be worth living without buttery Hot Cross Buns on for breakfast on Good Friday.

    1. Hello Lovely Kristina! We did have a lovely day although it was very noisy with excited grandchildren on a major sugar rush. MissM says hello back to you and thank you for your sweet message.

    1. Don't panic - it is a portable decoration and gets taken off the table at meal times. I couldn't cope with the grumbling from MrM - it would give me indigestion.

  5. I think I need to adopt a little of your spirit. I love the bowl of eggs in particular. I am not very good at the whole splash of decoration. Our Christmas tree never goes up until Chrismas Eve and I generally prefer sparseness to glitz. Then I look at your bowl of eggs or go into the house of someone who has a glorious visual sense and just love it. You have made me resolve to push the boat out, every now and then.

    1. Thank you! Most of the year our cottage is quite clutter-free but I love the festive feel at Christmas and Easter. The decorations have happy memories of family gatherings and it is always a joy to bring them out of the cupboard.
