Happy Easter!

Slightly late, I know, but holidays are always a busy time here and yesterday we took a bag of small Easter Eggs to Berrington Hall in the hope of organising ourselves an Easter Egg Hunt, but Hurrah!!! there was already an organised one in progress so we just handed over our £1.50's and joined in. Along the way we were greeted by this splendid fellow who we childishly nicknamed "Ashley" (we're watching too much Corrie, methinks!! LOL!!) who seemed to be more than happy to pose for us until we spotted the reason why - just behind him, though not visible in this picture, was Mrs Peacock ("Clare" LOL!!) who was sitting on a batch of eggs, and this proud fellow was obviously doing his fatherly duty and protecting his brood! Good boy! :o) Isn't he magnificent!

Also, as it's now officially Spring, I thought I'd show you this card that I made using one of Magnolia's Spring/Summer 2008 stamps. I love this to bits, but I can't help feeling she looks more autumnal than Springlike, but Hey, who cares, she's great fun to play with!

I hope you are all having a great Easter holiday, and the weather is being kinder to you wherever you are - the trouble with Easter being so early this year is that it still feels (and looks!!) quite wintry outside!

Thanks for popping in!
