Easter has always meant three things in the Muddy household, inhaling mini eggs from the beginning of March (a really obscure local by law that totally exists), the annual chocolate egg hunt in which you spend more time hiding the blighters than the kids do finding them and a lamb roast that only I love but I force everyone else to endure because, again, it’s the law and I’m cooking.

Never ever have I decorated the house, but having discovered all the cuteness at The Corner Shop in Woolhampton and I’m into. So I’m now trawling the local woods for arty twigs to bung in a vase, so the kids can get creative (and you barricade the door and have five minutes peace). Ready to be inspired?
