We spent last Easter in Gisborne, and it was like a ghost town for about 3 days!! There was very little open, and we were at a loss for what to do with 2 toddlers and the in-laws!! (but that might have been the case whenever we went, Gisborne wasn't one of the most inspiring places that we visited on our travels, sorry Gisborne!) We stopped off in Opotiki on the way back to Tauranga, and think we may have ended up in the same cafe at the same time as Lil Amy and her other half - small world, eh?
This year?? Well we paid homage to Easter by indulging in some retail therapy, managed to be in Waitrose yesterday afternoon at the exact time that they were reducing the price of all the Easter eggs, and got a fabulous gourmet organic egg (for me and Ken obviously!) reduced to a third of the normal price! Did an Easter egg hunt for the kids this morning (just round the house as its snowing here right now!) and they loved it.
Happy Easter to all of those who celebrate Easter, and for everyone else, "Happy excuse to eat chocolate til you are sick"!
