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.

Paint & Pot

A shade business never yields a sunny life - B.C.Forbes
I had a lie-in,
So missed "Sounds of the 60s".
Enjoyed a tea in bed...↓
We had plans for the garden in the sunshine.
All the windows got opened up...
(including the kid's windows)
Those big big sunglasses were put on↓
Now off to B&M to get more garden stones...↓


As we left, the car park was filling up
When we got home,
We had a delivery for the garden↓
After planting a few plants..
Liquid lunch time↓
Back out in the garden...
 We added mash to the garden gate and to the garden arch...
(Because a plant will be growing up the arch)
 Coffee time↑

While I go up to work with some great tunes..
