Easter Favours

Every year  I usually have a big family Easter lunch followed by an Easter egg hunt and lots of fun and games in the garden, this year, because of lockdown, it will be a very different affair, with just me and Lu. My lovely neighbour Kata and I are planning a little surprise in our communal garden, with, hopefully, a couple of pictures on a quick Easter Sunday post.
However, I decided that the Easter Bunny needed to pop a little something outside my neighbours doors on the big day, before ringing their doorbells on the panel outside the building to let them know they hadn't been forgotten.
No great shakes on the crafty stakes I know, but I wanted to keep any touching to an absolute minimum.  I found the packs of 6 box/baskets in The Range (£1) and just filled them with a few sweets from an Easter selection box (£12) I ordered from an Evesham sweetshop Gummy Gumdrops.  I used latex gloves to transfer the sweets into cello bags that I then put inside the boxes.
Marc gave me a huge box  of Easter chicks when I last saw him in February, so I thought I might as well add one to the top of each box, attaching them with a glue gun. ....... et voila!  I know I have been scrupulous with my hygiene and as I have been at home for over three weeks now I should be virus free, but if the sweeties enclosed aren't actually eaten it doesn't really matter, they were  just a fairing gift  to just say "Happy Easter" ......... we're all in this together, Stay Safe.
