Those eggs in full

By -
Here is a little photo story of the Eggstravaganza on the 9th of June, long delayed from its usual Easter slot. The weather held out for us long enough to enjoy the usual mad chase down the lane, whacking our eggs mercilessly. Kai pulled off a very unorthodox reverse-through-the-legs manoeuvre to pull of a victory in the boys' race.

I really can't remember who won the other races... except it wasn't me. I never win. The eggs are against me. A chair got in the way, I swear.

Inside everyone enjoyed the usual array of games involving marbles, cars, balls, coins, flower pots, buried treasure and tail-less donkeys. Piles of tempting cakes and pots of tea and coffee ensured we did not go hungry while we browsed the books for that missing best-seller.

Thank you to everyone who turned out to support us on the day. Proceeds go to the Hackleton Primary School fund for paralympian Anna Turney!

Adrian and I are both passionate about the environment and will always look for the ways we can protect and enjoy the world around us. One of the ways I do this is through the arts, I have a love of painting and photography, as well as having a background in design which I bring to all aspects of my life. ...
