What's everyone up to over Easter?
The kids break up this Friday and are off for 2 weeks (plus the first day of the following week - teacher training
). Don't think we'll be up to much - apart from Easter egg hunts at the sub tropical gardens. The bonus is it's free as we have season tickets. Last year we went all four days it was on

Thankfully I fly out to Turkey on Easter Sunday, my girlfriends parents have a lovely flat over looking the sea about 3.5 hours from Antalya and 3 hours from Dalaman, Its a really nice quiet town.
However, with it being Easter Holidays, flights were a nightmare.
Whats everyone else doing?

Term doesn't finish until Maundy Thursday here, so usual routine until then. (I have an exam on Wednesday and we're away for the weekend - close family member is being installed by the Archbishop as a Lay Member of the Chapter of Canterbury Cathedral. It's a big hat occasion and I'm really excited!)
Maundy Thursday, brother-in-law down that day; Good Friday, hubby and I are singing the service at Buckfast Abbey; Holy Saturday is free, yippee!!!; Easter Sunday services morning and evening, fitting in 11 for lunch (gulp); Easter Monday is the
Pre-school Easter Egg Hunt Egg-stravaganza in Tavistock which will be very egg-citing and egg-cellent. Some people go away that day, and then more arrive on Tuesday I think, someone else for the weekend and then it's my father's birthday. After that I'm planning a collapse. Who said life was dull when you don't go out to work?

To be honest, we haven't really given it a thought yet !
With both daughters being caterers in local schools, we should have access away during the holidays if the weather is good.

Revision mainly, with a brief trip down south, along with working, drinking and volunteering, and might go to France for some campaigning....

Cath if your name wasn't Cath I would think you were Sarah (my sister).
Funnily enough my brother is being inducted as a Free Church Minister on Easter Sunday and my father has his birthday on 7th April.

Because we are a population of 60 million crammed onto a tiny island.
