Easter is a time for spring lambs (such as ours bought in Dublin, above) and fun days out. Ours in 2010 involved a reunion in London and a trip to Liverpool. Click HERE to see photos from past Easters.

A reunion of pupils I taught in the 1990s. We met at Jamie Oliver's Fifteen in London and had a wonderful day together.

We visited the childhood homes of both John Lennon and Paul McCartney. It was magical standing in John's bedroom.

I played part of Eleanor Rigby in Paul's sitting room. The guide definitely looked like a family member.

A scarecrow dog at our fifth National Trust visit in two days. I made a birthday cake the day we returned. For more cakes, click HERE.
