What do you do for Easter?

JIL

For the first time in four years I had just my three adult children and me and other half for dinner. In the past there has always been one child missing or extra adults but this time it was just us. It reminded me of dinnertimes as a family all them years ago! How fast time really does pass.

Today has been fairly quiet as I'm not very well at the moment and any sort of activity is a struggle we got up and had breakfast, then went to fill the car up, and I went to bed for the rest of the afternoon. OH cooked a gorgeous Gressingham duck for Easter lunch and we went round to visit his Dad and stepmum early evening. We came back and I watched some TV now OH is on the PlayStation. I'm on a diet and OH doesn't eat chocolate so we didn't do eggs- I wanted to go to church and OH was going to drop me off (he's Northern Irish Protestant and I'm Southern Irish Catholic so we don't go anywhere near each other's churches) but I wasn't well enough to go- which I was really sad about as it was my beloved late friend's birthday today and I really wanted to light a candle for her it's just been a fairly normal, quiet Sunday. Not much different to usual.

Staying at my parents' house in rural Kent. OH and our 8 year old son got back from Israel first thing this morning (OH took Isaac for Passover - he's Jewish), and I picked them up from the station while my mother and one of my sisters went to church. Some of us painted eggs in the morning, others helped my mother cook dinner, and we all had roast lamb, veggies and rubbarb crumble. Waited until the rain stopped, and then went for a stroll (parents, sisters, brother, uncle, me, OH, son, and 3 dogs) and then son and my Bruv played football for 90 minutes and got covered in mud.

After a night flight back from Israel, OH and son got an early night, and I'm about to follow now.

Hope you all had a lovely day, whatever you did!

Thanks everyone for sharing... it's been really nice to read everyone's stories, an insight into how lives can be so different.

Happy Easter all

We have no kids. I worked and he hung out with his friend whilst I worked. We both came home, took the dog on a walk and ordered an Indian. Minus the take-away (which we only had because we fancied it), I can't say it was any different to any other Sunday... or weekend?
