Then it occurred to me that there doesn't seem to be an Easter Bunny! And I learned that, in fact, the children here do not receive baskets full of treats from the Easter Bunny (they traditionally receive Easter eggs, but not from the bunny.) And kids here don't dye Easter eggs. I think some kids have egg hunts (and I've seen a few advertised) but again, not the standard.
Instead, they make Easter bonnets, eat hot cross buns, and enjoy chocolate eggs.
I better get in touch with the Easter Bunny soon to make sure he makes a special trip to England to see us!
And hopefully the kids won't compare notes with their friends...

Ann when we were in London i was so excited we found Cadbury eggs and Cadbury mini eggs in the grocery store at train station. I had my parents send peeps and malted milk ball eggs. Still can't find jelly beans weird since I think they are from Germany orginally.
No jelly beans here either, apart from Jelly Bellys all the time. I'm not a big fan of peeps, but my parents brought a few bags of regular marshmallows which I am enjoying very much, both plain and melted with cereal!
You can start a new thing in Englad and dye as many eggs you can and place them all over the city!!!! LOL! Then just sit back and watch those silly Brits wonder who was the crazy person who would color an egg! hee hee
