The Smell of Little Pong

Easter Egg Hunt

Adrian and I scored some parent points today.

We woke up to snow and sleet. We were supposed to be going to an Easter Egg hunt in Dulwich park at 11am. At 10.40am, sure it would be cancelled, I texted my friend who was organising it to see if it was still on. Unfortunately it was.

Suddenly feeling guilty that a little bit of bad weather was depriving Freyja of a half hour out in the park (and having not left the house in 2 days), we had a mad dash to get dressed and get the bus (still no car...) to the park where we then traipsed around in the mud and drizzle collecting cardboard eggs which were exchanged for chocolate eggs. It was actually good fun and a lot of our friends had turned up for it. Most of the toddlers had little bunny faces painted on for the occasion, but Freyja wasn't having any of that. Afterwards we all retired to the cafe for coffee and hot chocolate and congratulated ourselves on being such good parents (apart from the gorging on chocolate bit...)


That good deed set us up for the rest of the Easter Sunday - I spent the afternoon sleeping and then we headed round to Katie and Paul's for pizza and football.

And Adrian got me this egg from Hotel Chocolat:
