Good Morning Easter Sunday 5th April 2026

Good morning from a sunny N.Bucks after a very blustery night. It would be a perfect morning to get out in the garden but we have DHs mum coming over. Hopefully DH will at least get the grass cut before he goes to collect her. We will have to hope the weather behaves tomorrow when we will be free.
Thinking of all who are under par and wishing all a pleasant Sunday.

Good morning and Happy Easter from a much calmer Shropshire.

The wind has thankfully calmed down.DD1’s big gate has blown done and the post snapped, also a tree down in the lane.SIL is clearing it now.DD2 has a fence panel down, her neighbour replaced a panel from the last winds a couple of days ago.

We are off to DD1’s for lunch, DD2 and co will be there too😊H is very excited, he prefers Easter to Christmas even though he doesn’t eat chocolate 🤷‍♀️DGD went to an Easter singing day with John’s Boys so looking forward to hearing about that.

Lovely pictures Melanie.I always do a buffet too Grandmabatty to accommodate everyone’s likes and dislikes.DD will do a roast today.Happy birthday to all celebrating🥳

Wishing everyone a good day✝️🐰🐣

Good morning from a sunny Suffolk on this Easter Day. I hope those who experienced storm Dave did not suffer any damage to house or garden.

We are meeting DS and family in our favourite pub in our nearest town for lunch. Their drive on the A12 should be easier than it has been lately because 2 new roundabouts have been opened,made because of the ongoing work for Sizewell C.

They are off to Derbyshire tomorrow until Friday so we’ll no doubt hear about their plans for trips down mines etc.

I hope all have a good day with hope of some peace and contentment in the future.

Always one or two in our freezer Grandmabatty.

Good morning all . It’s bright and the wind has subsided, here in Essex.

Yesterday was peaceful and I got a lot of my book read. I also watched all the remaining episodes of The Other Bennet Sister.
What a lovely, gentle series.

Today I’ll walk to the local shops for milk and bread. Little pooch can accompany me. Two birds with one stone.

Lamb for dinner here too. Steaks , as there’s only two of us.

I’ll walk up the hill to church at some stage. I have two to choose from, Catholic or C of E. I enjoy either. Dh and AC Catholic, me C of E. I’ll be the only one going though.

Enjoy the day , ✝️

Good morning from a brightish S E Essex.

Just the two of us today, so we will have roast chicken around 7ish.

It does feel strange having a quiet Easter, but hey no it is what it is🐣🐇🍫

GrandMattie, it's an ice cream based dessert with chocolate and meringue( I think) throughout. It was popular in the 80s. Ds isn't a fan of desserts but has loved this since he was a small boy.

Morning Mick, morning all from a draughty corner of Somerset. The wind is reluctant to let go and there’s a dark cloud looming.

We were surprised how many Easter eggs were left in the two supermarkets visited yesterday. The day went well enough with an enjoyable trip to a small and fairly quiet garden centre in the afternoon.

I’ll go and visit a young friend who is in the midst of cancer treatment this morning then foresee a quiet afternoon at home. Chicken later as I’ve never eaten lamb and Mr C isn’t a major fan.

Easter wishes to you all.

Good morning everyone from Inverness, it’s cold at about 2°and we had snow yesterday evening so everything is looking white outside
Have a lovely family get together grandmabatty and everyone else meeting up with friends and family today
It’s a quiet Easter for us as everyone is away so not sure what we’ll do yet. I think we’ll probably wrap up warm and go for a short walk followed by coffee out somewhere.
Thinking of everyone with worries and struggles, hope today is gentle and take care all whatever the day brings 💐

Good morning from a bright sunny Durham. What a wild night!! Lovely day yesterday with DD2 and family. Between showers, DGS2 managed an Easter egg hunt in my garden. The bunny had been busy.
I’m going out for lunch with DD1 and family today. She’s asked me to stay over, but I’m not sure, as I’m still coughing and getting reflux at night.

Best wishes to all. X

Happy Easter everyone from the central south coast! The sun is shining and it's calm and dry with a gentle breeze. 12 degrees on the garden thermometer so it's warming up at last.

I was up betimes (as Samuel Peyps used to say in his diary. Not sure what it means but it sounds interesting) I got the slow cooker going with a gammon joint and various flavourings, organised DH's breakfast, found the Easter egg I had secreted for him and tended to my seedlings growing in an egg box. Then made my cup of tea and waited for him to get up! He has just decided to put a load of his cycling gear in the washer so the kitchen is fairly busy. My Mum used to say "the better the day, the better the deed" but she would never have done laundry on Easter Sunday!

We enjoyed a lovely visit from DGS yesterday and he told us all about the Biomedical Engineering course he is on at university. It does sound really interesting and he is enjoying it and doing well. He was a sweet baby and little boy and now at 6'4ins, still is. A real gentle giant!

Hope all the catering goes well and family get togethers are happy and enjoyable. May all our troubled or struggling Grans have an easier day.

Good morning from a n almost sunny Torbay.

A joyful Eastertide to one and all on this chilly morning! I like this picture of the first Easter morning and it reminds me of the Easter hymn, “You're Alive” by Graham Kendrick, especially verse two:-

An indoor day sounds like a good idea for you, Mick to enable your system to recover.

How lovely to have flowers, grandMattie! A well deserved reward for all your efforts for others.

It's lovely to read of all the happy family times being enjoyed by various contributors. Yesterday, my DS and DGS3 joined us for a leisurely. breakfast at our favourite pub/restaurant on the Downs where we sat for nearly two hours, enjoying the food then a game together. My DGS3, aged nearly 10, is very engaging and has inherited my love of performing on (and off!) stage.

Wishing you all a blessed Easter Sunday.

Third time lucky? batty…

barty, sorry

barry, I misread the contents of your freezer, which puzzled me hugely! “ A frozen vendetta”?

Morning from a dry and cloudy S Hants, even we had wind last night.
We watched a very satisfactory result for my football team last night, a tense game.
Today we will be at my daughter’s for lunch, son will be there too.
Enjoy your meet ups, thoughts with those have a quieter day or struggling.

Good morning everyone from mid Essex. Happy Easter to you all.
It’s a mild 8 degrees this morning, high cloud, but with some blue patches. The wind has dropped, although we didn’t have the gales here, just windy enough to blow some flower pots around!
My back was very achy yesterday so I didn’t do much. My neighbour borrowed my battery mower and cut the grass in both our front gardens, and the wide strip which goes right across both gardens next to the pavement. It takes one charge of the battery to do it all.
I’m going to DD1’s this afternoon for dinner, it will be a roast, but I doubt it will be lamb as none of us like it much! I have Easter chocolate bunnies for all the grandchildren no doubt adding to the mountains of chocolate they already have!

marzipan a sunrise service on the beach sounds very appropriate for Easter Day and atmospheric too.

Beautiful orchids melanie, thank you for the photos.

grammaretto Wishing your DS and DGD a Happy Birthday, enjoy the tea party.

baubles I hope the weather improves for you! Enjoy the chocolate!

Have the best day you can everyone.

Good morning all from about 5 miles from Dragonfly - where it is also sunny.

Enjoy the Gardener's Fair, dragonfly.

We are doing very little today. DH has a cold - wish me luck.

Have the best day possible everyone.

Morning all on this Easter Day from West Oxfordshire.

It is rather blustery and wet.

Leg of lamb and all the trimmings for lunch followed by Delia’s chocolate bread and butter pudding with lashings of cream. We’ve nearly finished the teeny tiny chocolate cake so will have Simnel cake for afternoon tea. Our daughter will take some back to London with her. OH likes fruit cake but isn’t fond of marzipan. I am!

Daughter is going back this afternoon so OH and I will visit our favourite NT place tomorrow.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from sunny Leicestershire.

Walking the dog then visiting the first Gardeners Fair of the year.
Roast leg of lamb for dinner, of course!

Wishing everyone the best day possible.

Happy Easter, good morning from South Lanarkshire.

About an hour ago we had a flash of lightning and an almighty thunderclap followed by fairly heavy snow which carpeted the ground very quickly. We now have drizzle which has turned the snow to slush. Odd weather.

Mass this morning then this afternoon we will go to DD’s bearing eggs for the children. I’m looking forward to my first taste of chocolate, and possibly cake, in over six weeks.

Wishing everyone a good day.

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders.
My DS#1 and DGD have their birthdays today.
We're having a tea party this afternoon.

Quaker Meeting will be at my house this morning followed by soup for lunch.

I am glad the sun has come out. A big change after yesterday.

Sorry to hear your health isn't too good today Mick

Happy Easter however you celebrate or don't.

Good morning, Michael and all GNs. The sun is up in South Yorkshire and it is blissfully calm after yesterday’s horrendous wind which has blown the garden chairs all over the patio during the night. I must have a good look round this morning to see what else it has done. What a year it has been for gale force winds.

DD and her menfolk are coming over for a traditional Easter lunch of roast lamb today. Easter is about the only time we eat lamb these days. We will follow it with pineapple upside down cake - SiLs favourite. Hopefully if it stays dry we will get a walk in before they go home.

Have the best day you can, folks.

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 3° and dry. Happy Easter to you all. Lovely photos Melanie
Yesterday I did everything I wanted to. The house is sparkling and the table set for today. Unexpectedly dd and the boys appeared. It was lovely to see them. Dd and I sat and blethered while the boys drew in the kitchen and annoyed each other. Tesco delivered all the food for today. After that, I tidied up the pens and paper and watched tv. I have a housewife's soul as I'm always happy when my surroundings are clean and tidy. I didn't hear much of storm dave. I've checked the garden this morning and there doesn't appear to be any damage. No snow either- unlike Brook further north!
Today the family will arrive for lunch. I'm not a fan of lamb and with 1 vegetarian, 1 piscatarian and 2 small boys in the mix, we are having a buffet. The table will be groaning as I never knowingly underfeed. My aunt is bringing a nut roast, ds is bringing a side of macaroni cheese and dd has made mini lemon tarts and brownies. I also have a viennetta in the freezer- ds favourite. He's coming early because he's doing a mini egg hunt for the boys at my house. So I'm looking forward to having everyone here. I hope everyone has a good day.

I’ll try again
