Easter Not Too Far Away.

Celebrating the seasons with special events.

Easter is making itself know, at least in the stores, now that Valentine's is out of the way. Can't sell Easter stuff before the heart-brigade has been seen to. Chocolates will change into bunny shapes or over-sized eggs. Heaven for kids of all ages.

Bob and I have grown up with a different trigger when it comes to Easter....Hot Cross Buns & Chocolate covered Marshmallow Eggs are what shows us that another celebration is in store. I was reminded about these hot cross buns when I read that one of the British supermarket chains will make vegan hot cross buns. Yummy, what I wouldn't give to taste one!

As for those infamous chocolate covered marshmallow eggs, they are tres dangerous. Buying just the one is nigh on impossible as the manufactures conveniently sell them in either a string of a few or cunningly in a big box of many. Hard to resist that temptation.

Easter has turned into a commercial bonanza as hardly anyone takes the time to make their own Easter eggs ( hard boiled and covered in food colouring ) as it is so much easier to just buy the chocolate versions or even the mass produced ' real ' Easter eggs.

Apart from all the pigging out on chocolates, marshmallow and co., it is nice that families get together yet again and spend at least one meal around a table, talking and exchanging bits and bobs about their lives in a way that let's us remember how nice it is to have a conversation with full words, sentences and real life emoticons...
