Easter 2010

Easter 2010

We had a great Easter. Thankfully the children did not wake up too early. We don’t put much emphasis on the Easter bunny etc, but they knew an egg hunt was in store. It was fun – egg hunts are always fun! We had other presents, like bunnies from nanny and gramps, and fans from […]

Temperature

When we first moved into this house, it was cold, and I complained of being ‘freezing,’ and wrapped myself up in blankets and jumpers (ever the drama queen).
