I am new to your wonderful site. Have spent the morning blowing and painting egs with my girls, the dough for our hot cross buns is rising and we are now decorating our first tree. I have used fuschia twigs, do you think they will be good? Either way we are having a lovely time. Thank you :-) Thank you for this beautiful idea. I am new to your wonderful site.

I know the feeling, it's horrid to miss out on a family tradition. Even if it's one in the making. So pleased that you are up and running (albeit in the stratosphere again!). Hi Plumsource D and I love our Easter Tree. Still just in bud but that's fine. D said this evening "I love it because it's exquisite and doesn't take up the space of a Christmas tree." This is a fresh sprit. A Christmas tree is a totally different animal. Hi Amanda

I gather it’s a Norweigan and German tradition. Find yourself some budding twigs, bring the little bit of spring into your house and decorate with easter fancies. Putting them in water makes the shoots open up. I remembered we had some ideal twigs hanging around after felling one of our lilacs so am pleased to be able to give these branches another lease of life. Didn’t get round to blowing and painting the eggs with natural food dyes (beetroot, onion skins, oh and bright blue food colouring from morrisons!) but there’s only so many hours in the day to be an earth mother.
