Easter is one of our favourite times of the year. Quality time with family and a chance to take a breath after a busy first term. Before we get into the events that are on this weekend here are a few things to remember. For those having a visit from the Easter Bunny, he generally comes on Saturday night while the kids are asleep and they wake up to their eggs on Sunday morning. MOST shops are shut (including the major grocery stores) on Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
