Can you spot the Easter Bunny?

easter bunny burghley house

He’s hiding behind that tree…

One of the many sculptures spotted at Burghley House, near Stamford in Lincolnshire, which we visited on a glorious Good Friday. I’ll do a separate post about the gardens in due course but I couldn’t resist sharing an Easter Bunny with you today.

Life is settling back down to normal after our whirlwind skiing trip which I have talked about at length…apologies! We had a visit to Exeter at the beginning of March to see Rory for his 20th birthday. We only stayed a couple of nights and Rory was at lectures during the day, but we had two lovely meals with him and Juliana plus a day to ourselves in Dawlish.

We’ve booked a week’s holiday in North Devon quite soon. I can’t wait to go, to be near the beach, just the four of us, going for walks and just spending time together. It’s so good that we all get on so well. Juliana is very much part of our family now: they’ve been a couple for well over three years now.

I’m still writing my column for the Lincolnshire Free Press so here’s a few from the last few months that you might like. As always, it’s great discipline for me to write to order but it does mean the blog tends to miss out on all the random family stuff – until I do a catch-up post like this.

Hope you are all enjoying a lovely, if blowy, Easter weekend.

    Happy Easter to you too, Trish. I love that sculpture of the rabbit hiding in the bushes. We went Easter bunny hunting at Hever Castle today and the sun actually shone. Miracles will never cease! Enjoy your trip to Devon. We're off to the Suffolk coast next Saturday.

      I would love to visit Hever Castle sometime – great that you had good weather, always makes such a difference to a day out.
      Hope you enjoy Suffolk – it has some beautiful spots.

    Ooh I like that bunny. Very clever. And thank you for popping all your columns in one place like this. I find it really helpful and like to plough through them all. Googlebox is a guilty pleasure of mine too, and our taste in boys and bands when we were young, identical! XX

      That's so lovely to hear you enjoy reading the columns – feedback gives me such a boost. The Bowie article was well-received from my friends on Facebook: such a strange start to the year, so many of our heroes dying.
