Easter 2026

This year, we were busy in the garden getting things done and tidied so we didn't do anything for Easter . Although, I did put up a few decorations. How cute is this Leo the Lion cake from Woolies, I didn't have time to bake anything so I bought this cake, I went with Leo because myself and Darren's star sign is Leo. Cerys and Blake offered to make Easter Sunday dinner, well, how could I refuse, a day off from cooking, a chance I wasn't about to pass up! 😁, although, I did get a text from her asking if I could peel and cook the tatties 😜.

The things you find when clearing up, not sure who this belonged to!. We also found part of a prickly pear growing, the pad must have fallen off and started growing roots, making a new pad, quite incredible as it wasn't growing in any soil at all, just dead leaves, I have put it in a pot with soil and I will plant it somewhere in the ...
