Easter Bonnet’s
It is all too easy these days.. Gone are the days when youngsters would come home from school and announce that there was an Easter Bonnet Parade at school or competition at their Youth Group. Maybe it was yourself being persuaded to enter the fun at your Dance Group or Choir.. whatever the reason there was a scrum around for a suitable hat and all the bits and pieces to decorate said hat. It all required imagination and some creative ideas. Nor did it matter if some of the resulting Bonnets were let say a bit wonky , it all added to the fun of the event.
It is all too easy today…you just pop along to the local Craft Shop, buy the hat and a selection of decorative features…flash the cash and there you have it, job done.
Not sure that is progress…. Everything to-day needs to be instant, probably less frustrating for some but not as much fun. As for the kids does that really help their creative imaginations

No, it doesen’t help their imagination, nor does it build their frustration 🙂 but it may secure that people bother to enter the parade in numbers?
We have nothing like that in our country! The reason probably being that most people are up about in the mountains enjoying the last snow before it melts away! Hardly nobody but old people back in our cities during Easter.

Chocolate Easter Eggs is still the main event on Easter Sunday. 🙂

Egg seeking is on here as well but Easter Bonnets must be quintessentially English. Dutch people seem to be the dullest I know. Even Germans can party but they do it in the Fall. 🙂
