April Fool's Day...

I spent April Fool's Day safely in my garden, picking aubergines and tomatoes, and, basically hiding from anyone who might have planned to take revenge on me this year...  I have played a couple of pranks on unsuspecting friends in the past, and I am hoping that, after escaping unscathed yesterday, they have either forgotten or forgiven!  Today, I'm back!  And it's Easter, so...

HAPPY EASTER to you and yours! 

I hope that the Lindt Easter bunny (yes, we have to be specific!) will be dropping a few goodies in your garden, and I hope that all grown-ups will join the kids on the Easter egg hunt, laughing and having fun, and making memories!

As a child, my Lebanese granny made a huge fuss of Easter, and we used to paint eggs that she would hide, along with chocolate eggs, in the garden and let us loose on Easter Sunday - a memory I will never forget!  This year I bought ones that glow in the dark to add another dimension to hunting Easter eggs in the Karoo.  We will spend the rest of this weekend on our farm there, so, with the jackal howling in the background, the owls silently flying above, and the moon winking down at us, Paddy and I will be running around, looking for dessert amongst the shrubbery...  Let's hope the riverine rabbit doesn't get to them before we do!
