Mr. Fetch chased though - thank you, thank you. I would never spend well over £100 on trainers but I'm very glad to have these. Super comfy and bouncy!

Normally never see a soul Today there must have been 30+ people + kids + a tonne of hidden (badly!) Easter eggs! Was so lovely to see so many happy people. Kids happy with a chocolate stash and adults happy as most had a glass of something in their hands! 😃

The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
