Easy Easter treat recipe!

you may find it rather odd to be celebrating Easter in Autumn, but that's what we do here on the bottom of the planet.

It's a changeable time of they year as you can see from my shots of Days Bay and Eastbourne,

sunny one minute rainy the next, i guess that's a bit like spring!

i have heard that it's been very summery in Britain and now it's snowing! you  poor thinks, you must be getting fed up!

Having only boys it's always a bit challenging finding crafty things to engage them, one thing that always works is anything involving sweets, so I thought Louis (my youngest )and his 2 friends might like to decorate some Easter cookies. as you can see they really enjoyed it, so i am posting this very easy recipe that you might like to try!

a few drops of vanilla essence

1 large egg

500gm flour
