Simplest of Pleasures

As a kid Easter was my favourite time of year. My Mum would always hide my easter eggs around the house (actually she still does) and after I had gathered them, in my specially appointed basket complete with ribbons and fake hay in the bottom, I would squirrel them away and make them last as long as possible.

This usually wasn't that long as my mother is like an airport sniffer dog, if the dogs were allowed to drink wine and cocaine were chocolate.

I still love Easter in fact I still love a whole lot of things from my childhood:

Play-doh - still habitually sniff and taste it everytime
Bouncy Castles - recently at a 10th birthday party the kids had to flee as middle aged bodies pinged off the walls
Hydro Slides - apart from the bit at the end when you get spat out with your bikini wedged up your bum
Crayons -  argh the inner turmoil as I look at my expansive white walls
Lego - so many applications around the house, not least as a human cattle stop, walking on hot coals is nothing compared to walking on lego
Fireworks - like diamonds in the sky

Indulge in your favourite childhood things this long weekend because all your adult responsibilities will still be there on Tuesday.
