Easter, snow and a sore throat !

We had a lovely Easter. Plenty of colourful Easter decorations. The tradition here is to decorate birch twigs with feathers. In the old days they used to beat each other with the twigs on Good Friday...but I'm glad to say that is not done anymore....not in our house anyway !!










We spent the day with some friends who keep hens, so I made some extra hens to go in their hen house, filled them with sweets and chocolates for the children !



We had snow brrrr, but that soon melted away !







Today I have a poorly daughter with a sore throat, but Chutney is looking after her....sloppy old cat !

I like your little paper hens and your display is lovely. Your snow pictures make everywhere look so pretty, we have had nothing except on the hill tops.
Hope the sore throat is soon better. Thats what mums are for, to give lots of love and help make it soon get better.
