Playing With My Whip!

There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with chocolate - Linda Grayson

We were up early....

To do a Easter Egg Hunt...🥚

Those big sunglasses have to come out..

Packed a picnic...

With the blue skies....

We go off egg hunting..

We went on the blue trail↓

The walk was nice and easy...
My youngest son got his egg,
and ate it before it melted!
We walked around the gardens of Hanbury Hall..

It was getting very warm...23c \o/
We went back home,
Time to use something...

We had our picnic in the front garden....

Then I had to slip in something more comfortable to film my Superhero movie.....↓

With my sidekick called

Randy...↓

This nice weather helped....

The finished movie↓

Got changed,

Painting time....

Once the sun went down...

We had a small evening meal....

We put another Superhero movie to get into the mood for Superhero Day next Sunday..

I had a quick look at the Birthdays.
