Happy Easter!


Just a cheery little "dumfed" daffodil picture to brighten this cold, wet and windy Good Friday.

The view from my window is more like winter than spring with grey clouds clinging to the hills and a bitter wind blowing sleety rain onto my freshly cleaned windows. (My window cleaner braved the elements and made a lovely job of them on Wednesday!)

Our weather will certainly spoil the weekend for all those folk who were hoping to have a few days away. No doubt all the hotels and guest houses on the coast will miss out on much needed trade this Easter.

We were hoping to garden for M. on her new little plot. We have loads of little cuttings, ready rooted, to transfer to her sloping back garden. They might have to wait until its warmer before we move them!

I promised to take some brownies for her, so that will keep me busy later. I may even pop a few mini-eggs on each one. I know it will add to the calories but a good run will sort that - (er I mean M. not me - don't be silly!!!)

Happy Easter everyone - hope you enjoy the weekend - whatever you decide to do.

Choc chick.

Just a little something you might like to make to brighten your Easter Day!
My great niece P. loves white chocolate. Not that she is allowed much - just a few buttons broken up in a tiny pot handed to her by her Nanny A as a special treat for being a good girl (she is only 16 months).
So, for Easter I thought I would look out for a little white chocolate egg to hide beneath the cute chick cosy that I crocheted on "chat day Saturday".

It took me a while to do it as I haven't crocheted for ages really and I had forgotten the abbreviations. Of course Wipso was able to give me full instructions (she knows everything that woman!!) and after a few attempts and a bit of unravelling, I eventually managed it. Cute isn't it?
