There will be two groups reading this. If you are not at our house, I am sorry to say that you will have missed out on a family walk down to the pub in spring sunshine, a pub lunch and a pint of this weeks guest ale, followed by an extended dog walk home, avoiding the afternoon spring showers if the BBC weather forecast is to be believed. And I am afraid that you will not be able to take part in the annual Easter Egg Hunt.
It is my annual birthday bash today (I suppose that most birthday celebrations tend to be annual), when my family join us on the aforementioned activities. There are four children in the party. Simon is 28, Matthew 26, Kate 25 and neice Megan 17. A couple of years ago I decided that they must be too old for the annual Easter egg hunt that traditionally I have organised for the “kids” on or around my birthday. It was a wrong decision, and there were grumblings.
This year I am enlisting the aid of The Oakstump, and the eggs can be easily located using the photographs of our garden in Our Recent Photos. For the young folk in the birthday party, go find the eggs! One per image. In the meantime we old folk can enjoy a quiet cup of tea. And if you aren’t with us today,but have visited us before, then feel free to try to identify the loctions from your knowledge of our garden. But be quick – the photos will be deleted after a couple of days.

Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
