Easter holiday treats - please share you pics and experiences

Marianne72

I was paid early so bought extra treats for Easter. I'm trying to pluck up nerve to use my new Instant Pot. I haven't used a pressure cooker for decades, since the time there were little weights you put on top and few safety features. I'm planning some kind of chicken curry, then an enhanced version of Knickerbocker Glory. The tiffin was yummy - all gone now Blush but I've enough ingredients for a small one.

Do share foodie pics and your Easter/bank holiday treats. Do you send cards? Are you expecting family or friends? What are you going to do? It's nice to share these things.

  • Hi   this morning, I drove to a nearby village bakery and bought a dozen of their amazing Hot Cross Buns - an annual tradition!

    Have sent a few cards to friends and family. No visitors expected over the weekend. 

    Have now washed both cars too.

    If it's dry, I have a lot of weeding and tidying planned in the garden, plus trips to the tip.

    If it's wet, there's paperwork to follow up and file, and more Spring cleaning and decluttering, and therefore a trip to the charity shop. Note to self - must not buy anything!

    Either way, there will be dog walks, fetch games, etc. and plenty chance to enjoy Spring flowers, lambs and blossom.

    Hope to sit under my favourite ash tree in the churchyard for some contemplative moments. And I will no doubt find some creative reason to end up in a café with my dog...

    I still love cemeteries. I was lucky enough to live near the Gothic London Road cemetery in Coventry, designed by Joseph Paxton (who also designed the Crystal Palace). I had to walk through it every day to get to senior school, and gained a lasting love for nature. At weekends I sat there and wrote poetry. 99% of the time was the only one around, apart from gravediggers and gardeners. Thank you for reminding me!
