The Easter egg season is here once again with hunts for chocolate everywhere you go, and I don’t mean that in just the traditional sense. Whether you’re a bargain hunter or a quality fiend eggs have been flying off the shelves so fast if you blink they will be gone. For all the people who just like to find little bits and pieces for the season a scrabble took place in Kingston’s 99p shop which may as well be called a tug of war in order to grab the most reasonable prices out there. I for one am surprised paramedics didn’t have to be called in.
However if it is something more fancy then affordable you are in search for, Thornton’s was definitely the place to be. The quaint shop was packed to bursting in the week leading up to Easter Sunday. The amount of different personalisation on the chocolate was staggering. There were all shapes and sizes, be it race cars, champagne bottles or some adorable bunny rabbits, the stars of the day themselves. Not to mention the heart warming messages being iced on; from the simple “I love you”s to the inside jokes, all were there and it is clear that chocolate won’t be the only things melting this year.
Hunting was also going on in a more literal manner in every park you set foot into from 29th March to 4th April. It was hard to take a step into the area without tripping over a young child rummaging frantically through some bushes. Parents were proudly cheering and encouraging their little bundles of energy, bringing a smile to ones face. This festive atmosphere surely reminds us all of what the holidays are really about. It’s a time to show you care and having a blast whilst doing so.
