I know that Easter is now a week past, but it is never too late to enjoy a good Easter Egg Hunt in the garden.  That was the view anyway of Lochlann and Maisie, as they challenged me to hide the sixty or so little chocolate eggs which we had brought  for them.

It was a hard fought race – to see who could find the most, and then there was the contemplation of their eggs;  or perhaps it should be the enumeration of the eggs?   They did find it hard, however, to stop the eggs from rolling away as they sat on the trampoline in the garden.

Eggs safely counted, now it was time for some fun on the trampoline and then out to the grassy area opposite their house for a walk with Lily and Poppy our dogs.   I noticed some pins knocked into the grass here, marking out the area which will soon become a building site for new flats.   It is a shame that this lovely grassy area will no longer be available for a dog walk, or to be admired from the house window.
