Easter Sunday

We have always enjoyed Easter ........ another stalwart in the circle of life !


When I was a regular church-goer it held a very spiritual meaning for me, as it should for Christians. It still has that spiritual aspect for me - but now, it is more about prioritising family time. Don't get me wrong ...... I have not lost my faith .... just my belief in the Church "establishment" and a healthy curiosity regarding some aspects of a male dominated doctrine ............... ANYWAY ......... this blog is not about that !


The whole weekend always has a special feeling as Danny was born on a Good Friday ... so quite often we celebrate his birthday around the Easter weekend too.  As we did yesterday, today and will probably carry on tomorrow !


The kids have had an Easter egg hunt at Grandy's house since "forever" and even at adult ages ...... it's not quite an Easter egg hunt ... but this morning they still had to find their individual Lindt bunnies ! There are too many of us now to have a sit down roast, so Grandy has adapted and does a "buffet" style meal of baked potatoes, chilli, tuna & pasta bake, pizza slices, salmon and various salad bits n bobs .... It goes down really well! My brother and I provide desserts and it gives us all the chance to just get together!


So .......... I felt a bit guilty today for arranging a visit from an Anglian Windows representative, for this afternoon. It felt as if I had violated the day, not just for Greg & I but for the sales rep too. I am still not sure why I agreed to it for today ..... I think I was just trying to get rid of the man at the door (we are looking at getting quotes as our double glazing has "blown" anyway). After our lunch at Grandy's ... I got back home in time for the appointment. 


The rep turned up a little late with an immediate apology for being ;
a) late and 
b) in his jeans ........ 


his subsequent explanation was that his baby daughter (3 weeks old) had been sick all over him and his suit trousers! 


I felt even worse, thinking I had taken him from family time with his own new little family ! Thankfully though I had pre-warned him (when he called to check the appointment time) that we really weren't interested in sales "spiel" and just wanted a basic quick visit and bottom line figure. 


I think that must have suited him too ... as he kept the appointment as short as possible and after about half an hour (that included measuring up the windows round the house and getting him a cuppa) he was done! 


I can only hope for his sake that we were preferably his only or at least his last customers of this Easter Sunday, so he could go and enjoy the rest of his day with his family.


As we did ours !!


Hope you all had a good Easter! x
