What do you do for Easter?

*max*

I live alone and my family's abroad, so nothing. Although I just cooked some home-made breaded chicken strips, and they are OUT OF THIS WORLD, so I'm pretty content right now. Oh, and I baked a gorgeous cake too.

Went out for lunch with family then did some shopping . Sometimes visit a castle or country house on a day out then films and a few drinks

well OH and I thought we MAY have had grandkids for sleepover on Sat - so we bought a nice size joint of beef thinking 'leftovers'. turns out we didn't get the grandkids for sleepover, but they invited themselves for Sunday lunch and it seemed churlish not to have their parents too ...........so Easter Sunday Lunch for 9! good thing I had made rhubarb tart for OHs tea - it went down a treat for dessert!

This year... We did an egg hunt on Friday in the garden. Today we drove 90 miles to collect MIL, out for lunch, on to the hospital to visit FIL who has been there for almost 3 months. OH and MIL went to the ward whilst the girls and I went to sit for 2h in the canteen, with various electronics to keep us amused, after 1 1/2h OH came to say the nurses had said the girls could go in, we then drove back to MIL for a coffee before driving home. Very proud of the children as it was quite a long day for them and they did not even get to eat any chocolate.

Sleep. Eat. What I would on a normal day off from work.

We've been away this year and landed back in the UK at 1am. So I drove back from the airport, lifted the sleepy small people into their beds, brought the cases in, looked out the back to see the garden had little plastic eggs dotted about, banners and windmills and two teddies (bunny and chick) tucked in the playhouse window - it would appear the Easter Bunny had visited earlier (aka a rather doting set of grandparents who have been missing said small people) what a lovely surprise!

We slept till 10, put on bunny ears and explored the garden, ate a bit of chocolate and drank tea / milk.

Then I tackled mount washmore

Nothing. We're staying with the least organised relatives in the world (had to shop for basics like bread and milk myself and had to make our own beds!). There's no proper food in, no shops open so lunch should be fun!

They're not named Tropez by any chance? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Nothing special. My parent's had the family over to theirs today for dinner but that was more to do with the fact it was Sunday and everyone was available than Easter.

Treated myself to a toasted, buttered hot cross bun for breakfast, took my lovely neighbour's lovely DD a card and cash 'egg' for helping me in the garden during the school holidays, took a massive rice pudding to the homeless hostel, went to a meeting with friends where we all took a plate so there were hot cross buns, chocolate eggs, fruit buns, chocolate cakes etc., then went to DD and the family for a roast beef dinner. Basically, I ate a lot
