It was Easter not too long ago, and the Saturday was pretty special. Not only was it the hottest day I have experienced in the UK (the last time we celebrated a festival on the High Street of Kidlington it was the coldest day..) I went for a walk in the morning and saw this hot air balloon just hanging out in the sky above our neighbourhood.
We were helping out LCC by handing out free crème eggs and face painting. I had volunteered for the face painting, but didn’t really come prepared… Luckily, earlier on that day Kim had pointed out a particularly hilarious photo of Rob painted up like the Easter Bunny and I sort of tried to do what I had seen, but a passing glance meant I mistook the ears for some kind of bushy eyebrows. Kim thought they were clouds…
This was a test for some of that strangling perfectionism coursing through my veins. No idea what I was doing, nasty brushes, but it was fun and Lauren managed to run home and print me off some templates. I painted some butterflies and tigers too, which a little more cohesive.
After being an Easter Bunny/Guinea Pig, Suzie decided she wanted a go at painting her own face and took things to a whole new conceptual level. I thought it was probably the most successful face painting of the whole day.
There were loads of other market stalls on the High Street and Kim bought this delicious bread which we ate for lunch. YUM.
Lastly, I hung all our Easter prints in the lounge. It was great to have a visual reminder of the story.
