Hot cross bunnies

As its Easter weekend and we all can manage an association with the Easter bunny (even if it is only for the chocolate eggs), I've dug up a rabbit quote from one of the Sitwell family.  Any thoughts who was responsible for these words? "A great many people now reading and writing would be better employed keeping rabbits." Answer at the end.


We've got the Easter Egg trail on Sunday and Monday along with face painting and Punch & Judy to entertain the children.  Come and see the Camellia Walk in full bloom, the Hellebores are still looking wonderful in their own sweet, shy and retiring way and the Bluebells are open early. Early Bluebells is a topic that has even reached BBC Radio 4. Bluebells were photographed at Renishaw on 10th March this year. Don't miss them.

Sunday morning will see us offering homemade Hot Cross Buns and Simnel Cake and for the children we'll have lovely little chocolate egg nests. Talking about rabbits, we've got Rabbit in Mustard Sauce on the menu at the moment served with lovely mashed potato to soak up that creamy sauce.


Got up this morning to the snow. My poor Auriculas, they love the white stuff but not, I fear, when they are about to flower. Take care all, see you soon.
