Easter lillies in the Great Hall - what a lovely welcome to our bank holiday weekend in Warwick. I had to work on the Saturday so arrived in the evening to spend the rest of the weekend with my sister, brother-in-law Mike, Tim and Jess, my girls, their boys, the lovely Jon and my mum and dad joining us for the day on Sunday.

The Easter morning tradition of drawing each other's faces onto our boiled eggs

Jon looks good but KJ could do with a bit more make-up 

Guess who? 

Sabrina ! 

Too good to eat ! 

Koby helping Uncle Mike to make the extra table for dinner 

Despite no sleep the boys have plenty of energy 

How long until dinner? 

My sisters are so good at inviting huge numbers of people to the house, producing restaurant-quality meals, and making it look so easy (on top of being up until 1.30 eating chocolate !! ) 

The table held up well! 

The non-vegetarian option 

When you've given things up for Lent, it can be difficult to know where to start 

The excitements of 'guinea pig world' were actually hugely popular with Koby and Elliot and therefore with the rest of us. Stroking guinea pigs, talking to donkeys, playing on bouncy castles and cars, almost worth the entrance fee! 

may be they could start their own firm? 

And so to bed ...
