Easter Fun

I decided to make some Hot Cross Buns - I think it was me that ended up hot and cross! As I find mixing and kneading quite painful these days, I decided to use the trusty breadmaker to make and rise the dough overnight. I didn't understand the instructions properly so totally failed to put the fruit and spice in at the beginning - as I read it you mixed it in before shaping the buns. However, we did have some buns and even though they were a bit lumpy bumpy looking they tasted fine. I also didn't want to make a small amount of pastry to make the crosses and I don't own a piping bag now - and can't make those paper things, so I just cut the tops to form the cross. Trev didn't complain, they were still better than the supermarket ones and there weren't any left!

gone! Hot cross buns
The Easter Project was to build a 'tree' house for all of our little guys. In truth it wasn't ever going to be up a tree but attached to the end of the swing - but they don't care as long as it is off of the ground. Grandad and Dad soon set to with an assortment of pallets from which they fashioned a very substantial structure. My brief had been 'rustic' but I hadn't allowed for their interpretation! I think it is all ready now for Nanny to do a bit of a makeover to make it look less pallet-y but I don't think the boys mind at all. Let's hope that they have a nice fine Summer so that they can enjoy it with their cousins.

Let us hope it is fine tomorrow for the Easter Egg Hunt - Grandad will be sooooo disappointed if he doesn't find any!
