Happy Easter!

The Cottontail family ran out of paints for egg decorating, so they asked if they could use my paints instead.


Primrose got straight down to business painting her egg.


Meanwhile, Sorrel spent a long while surveying the selection of paints. She was quite good at art back in school, and it’s all coming back to her.


Being the owner of the Village Flower Stall, along with her husband, she has plenty of inspiration from nature.


She’s quite pleased with the finished result. “I’ve forgotten how peaceful art really is,” she said to me, “I shall have to do some drawing at home.”


It seems baby Chive has gone with a more ‘abstract’ approach.


Parsley, being the typical big brother, started chasing Chive with a paintbrush. “I’m going to paint you up!” This went on for a short time until Sorrel put a stop to it when tears began to be shed.


Then Basil arrived wheeling the biggest egg the children has ever seen.
“Wow, Dad! It’s huge! Where did you find it?”


“Careful Parsley! You’ll roll it off the table!” Basil warned. With much exertion they rolled it over to beside the paints to begin decorating.


“This is going to be our biggest, best, prettiest egg yet!”


Happy Easter everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
