Easter Saturday saw the "Easter Egg Hunt" around the village. This has been going for a few years now and is mainly and event for the kids. It's not until you see then rushing around the village chasing clues that will lead them to an Easter Egg that you realise how many children there are in the village nowadays.
This year, the event grew into something for "the family" as well as the children. Appealing to "the family" is a euphamism for including a barrel of beer and a barbecue. Simple,stuff - but you really can't go wrong with a barrel of local beer and a barbecue of local sausage and burgers. Inside the village hall, young mums and their children were catching up on the village news over white wine, soft drinks and home made cakes, big slabs of chocolate cake and little fancy fairy cakes. Lots of talk, lots of gossip swapped and tales told. Outside the men gathered around the barbecue, swilling pints of beer and guffawing over the indiscretions of others.There's a karaoke evening in the pub tonight - has anyone got the stamina? I haven't, must be getting old.
