Easter came early, we purchased our favourite traditional Lindt bunnies and enjoyed them.
A lovely Easter Freebie

Kathara Deftera, or “Clean Monday” — the beginning of Lent among Orthodox Christians — is the day Greeks fly kites (which are symbolic of the Resurrection) and go on picnics outdoors. The holiday is also the unofficial start of Spring for the Greek people.
Young people and adults organize excursions to open areas all across the country, so as to fill the skies with their traditional kites.
Tradition dictates that Athenians go to Filopapou Hill to fly kites on Clean Monday. The hill, near the Acropolis, is usually shoulder-to-shoulder with kids and their families, mostly attempting to fly a kite despite the crowds. The atmosphere is always fun and festive, despite the sobriety of Lent.

We finished reading our last Maria Parr and Guy Puzey book, such treats! Barron has exquisitive book selection abilities and photographic skills as he snapped this picture for our blog.
The books we enjoyed were Adventures With Waffles, Lena, The Sea, And Me, and Astrid The Unstoppable. This is a nice link if you want to read more about the books, https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2022419/maria-parr/
We purchased ours on Amazon Canada-always great prices and hard to find item availability.
