Happy Easter

Well as it is Easter this week my Postman has been kept very busy delivering parcels from the UK. All of which have happily fitted into my boites aux lettres that has been deemed “regulariser” (see previous blog – “boites aux letttres”). One parcel came with a sticker on it that stated “Import France A Flasher”. Cant’ wait to open that one!

Théo has been busy at créche drawing eggs, making Easter chicks and cutting out bell and rabbit shapes. The house is looking very Eastery at the moment and we are on the count down to the “chasse aux oeufs” on Sunday.

In France they have the traditional Easter bunny and also a "Cloche volant" , Flying Bells. French Catholics believe that on Good Friday all the church bells in France fly to the Vatican in Rome carrying the misery and grief of those who mourn Jesus' crucifixion on that day. These flying bells then return on the morning of Easter Sunday bringing with them loads of chocolate and eggs.

So whether you believe in a flying bells or the Easter rabbit a Happy Easter and Joyeuses Pâcques to you all.
