It was a special moment when the Paschal candle was lit and it brought home to us the miracle of the Easter Sunday events.
It was lovely to see lots of daffodils brightening the church and they were an excellent tonic to lift the spirits.
While our breakfast was cooking, as well as admiring the spring flowers, we also took a good look at the Easter garden. A lot of hard work had gone into creating it and a great job had been done ...
We came home to discover a huge mountain of Easter eggs and lots of excited bears. How lucky we all are to have such generous friends who understand how much bears love chocolate.
We're not quite as bad as one of our minders' friends who had given up chocolate for Lent, but had a chocolate feast at just gone midnight this morning, when she could eat it again. We're pacing ourselves this afternoon though, as we have lovely leg of lamb slow cooking in the oven as we write, and we don't want to ruin our appetites.
This lamb will be relished even more than usual as we all gave up meat for Lent. We had some lovely creative vegetarian dishes cooked by Chef Oakley, but, after our abstinence, the roasting meat doesn't half smell good.
Lots of love, Gio, Bris and all at Bears Unlimited xxx

Happy Easter from all at Suffolk Branch! At first glance, we thought Gio was about to launch himself into space but we then realised it was the Paschal candle. Really love the Easter Garden - Suffolk Branch think they'll introduce this to their church next year. Did Chef Oakley help with the cooked brekkies or was he busy with your lovely lamb? We were a little less traditional with pizza and jacket spuds! We went out today on our minder's new bike to the Maybush at Waldringfield, which gave us a chance to burn off a few of the many calories we've had courtesy of Norfolk Branch's yummy mini eggs. Bye for now
