Whether you celebrate Easter or not I hope you have a peaceful, rewarding day. Those of you in treatment or just out get a special hug. How are you all doing.

My parents were polish and one of our traditions was to make coloured easter eggs. My mum used to boil the eggs up with onion skins and we used to scratch patterns in the shells. This art is called Drapanki

My daughter sent me pictures of her eggs done with felt tip pen Joy which is hugely cheating

    

To those of you who can manage chocolate I hope you enjoy yours and if you can't yet....you will so hold on to that

I'll be tucking into mine later

  • We used to boil our white eggs in tea to brown them then painted them...after mass we took them to Cathkin Braes on Easter Sunday to symbolically roll them down a hill...then had a picnic....fond memories...Happy Easter to all...

  • Just the way we celebrated but we boiled the eggs in whin blossom which we picked in the morning. Great fun and we revisit the tradition with cousins every other year. People travel from USA, Europe to be there. Great fun. 

  • Hi Dani, hope you had a great day. I want to personally thank you for the amazing advice you gave me after my treatment and for listening to my woes over the past two years. You are one in a million xx

  • My daughter accuses me of never accepting gratitude....

    You are one in a million xx

    But so are you. We both do our part. Jackie you have helped countless of people in setting up a group where you live. I'm just trying to pay back the help I got here. We are all cogs in this mighty wheel.

    Thank you xx

  • My dad used to draw caricatures  of my 2 brothers  and I on our boiled eggs on Easter Sunday morning.when we were kids.  Used to do the same with my kids. It was great fun. Hope everyone gets a visit from the Easter bunny. Here in Australia we also have the Easter Bilby which is a cute marsupial. Hasn't taken off as well as the Easter bunny though.

    Wishing everyone a happy Easter.

  • Wishing you all a happy Easter this spring season, especially if you're finding treatment tough at the moment. I always think that in spring, the heart regrows hope.

    Best wishes
