Sure, pickled fish and hot cross buns are synonymous with Easter too, but let’s face it – Easter eggs take the cake … or the chocolate. The Easter weekend truly is the perfect excuse to eat all the chocolate your heart desires!
Trying to be good? Here are five ways to stay healthy this Easter. (And yes, you’re still allowed to eat choccies.) Of course, we grown-ups aren’t the only ones looking forward to Easter – why not treat your little ones to a fun day out with one of these festive Easter-egg hunts?
