Happy Easter

Had a lovely relaxing, family orientated Easter Saturday yesterday.  This consisted of drinking many g&t's, watching the annual Oxford/Cambridge boat race, general silliness and yummy food. Mummy Mills did a great job of subtly decorating the house in all things Easter.

Being an Oxfordshirian it is very important to watch the historic boat race.  I was horrified to see a crazy man in the water (typically nearer to the Oxford clan) who stopped the race in its tracks.  Never in over 150 years has such a dramatic scene taken place.  Such stupidity halted proceedings, the race was restarted and Oxford lost..boooo.

So after the excitement of watching our team lose and the bonkers man in the Thames, we settled down for a feast courtesy of Daddy Mills, the sisters and Nana.  A Jamie O inspired fish pie, tart au citron and Nan's famous strawberry pavlova (which we also ate in abundance for the Royal Wedding!).
Easter naturally consists of lots of chocolate eating (see Lindt bunny below) but more importantly is a Christian holiday. The talented actor Michael Sheen has recently played Jesus in a reenactment of events http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-17596122.



Happy Easter everyone - enjoy some well deserved time off with special peeps in your life!
