I just need to say quickly that I failed totally at Easter. Having a piercing pain boring straight into your head makes amusing light verse an impossibility, let alone dressing up teddy bears as Gandalf or whatever was going to happen. 'Why don't you give it a miss this year, you seem a bit hysterical', said one of the children. So I did. Instead we played a croquet tournament for chocolate. Involving one-off new rules where everyone was really nice to each other although competitive at the same time. The first person to win each hoop could choose from the egg selection - which turned out craply as my son is a million times the best player so soon had a huge pile of stuff, while my older daughter was lying by the first hoop crying with laughter, madly unable to get through after about a hundred tries.
