Aaaaah… it’s holiday time in Maxabellaland. I respect that Easter is an important religious holiday for many, but for me it’s all about the chocolate and the mini-break just when I’m altogether flagging. Mostly flagging because we spent yesterday at the Royal Easter Show… Man! Next year I’ll get stuck into a training programme six weeks out before tackling that marathon of fun, fun, fun again!!
Today we’re off down to Fibrotown to spend Easter with the Grands. Delight!
The pic above was taken on my iPhone last Sunday when we got together with LOML’s family for a little Easter loving. After a scrumptious Italian feast, Zia Lucia, the BEST AUNTY IN THE WHOLE WORLD (no, seriously, there is no competition on this one!) organised an ‘Egg Hunt’ for the Tsunamis. But this was a Best Aunty In the Whole World-style Egg Hunt so the Tsunamis came away with little trinkets and prizes and chocolates and new Autumn jackets and novelty sunglasses and invisible ink notebooks and… see? Even I can’t compete!

Have a lovely break and see you next week. I am on a digital blackout too, heading south tomorrow for a few days. Good for myself and the little chickens to get away from screens and run around at the beach. Well, they run anyway…. I oughter to counteract Easter indulgences.
Cate says

Enjoy your Easter. The overindulgence of chocolate and fun is so worth it. Especially for any working or worried girl. Any holiday is a nice way to breath and take our minds off of the real world.
Love your blog. You’re a sweet heart
hope to hear from you*
love amy ^.^

Happy Chocolate-Goddess Day!!! (oh gosh, Buddha will strike me down for that one…) I mean, happy Easter!! Oops. Enjoy your little break with your gorgeous ones. I shall be waiting for your return, my mush smeared with chocolate goodness and a sugar-high gleam in my eye… (actually, that just sounds wrong, doesn’t it?)
Posie Patchwork says
Ditto, it’s all about the chocolate here too, my children seriously want CSI on the case of how Jesus got out of the cave.
Happy holidays, love Posie
