Emily, Ella, Flynn, dot and I all went to a kids' Easter party this afternoon hosted by one of Emily's friends and one of Ella's playmates. In essence it was an egg hunt with something like 300 plastic eggs scattered over the garden most containing some small gift. Chocolate eggs are not common in the US unlike much of the English-speaking world, and plastic ones are re-usable.
Ella arrived wearing her cute bunny ears and had a basket to contain the eggs she collected. Since there were, at my count, 16 kids in attendance, all roughly Ella's age, it was a noisy and competitive occasion. However, with ages mostly less than two some of the social skills commonly used at parties were missing and I had the feeling that I was watching a large number of lone rangers. Still, they enjoyed themselves, as did the parents and even in a few cases grand-parents. I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story, though Dot and I occasionally feature in the background.

Timothy and family are en route here from London and Helen has a large number of real chocolate eggs ready for a traditional Easter egg hunt in her back garden provided the wonderful dry weather holds out. Granddad might even secure a few for himself!
Helen says her baby has now "engaged" and the due date is 3 weeks away. Jean and I are on stand-by to look after Jenson when the hospital dash occurs! Richard.
