Easter Sunday
Sunday 8th April

Happy Easter everyone . Everyone has an Easter memory from their childhood when it was always sunny and we ate our own body weight in chocolate! I remember going up to Keswick for the first time sardined into the back of my Dad`s Capri to stay at The Old Keswick hotel. I ate Whitebait for the first time and in the Reception was a castle full of real chicks and baby rabbits. Little did I know 30 years later I would live in the lovely lakes with my own little chicks and I still adore Whitebait! My little brother Jamie dropped a chick and we could pick it out each morning as we came down for breakfast as the one with a crick in it`s neck and a limp, poor thing! God bless everyone today, I hope you are all sharing a glass with someone that you love and that any old arguments or hurts are healed. I get all my happiness from forgiveness , I try always first to say sorry when I`ve let the side down and am getting better at being the one to forgive when any nasty pasties have hurt me or any of my special loved ones.So today would be a good day to "make friends"- anyone bearing chocolate is always welcome at my house!!
