Why does a three-day weekend feel like such a treat? I think it is the long-weekend state of mind; everyone feels like they can really relax. And relax we did. Despite the less than desirable weather we managed to have a fun weekend that included lots of family, food, and a few glasses of wine.
Here are a few pictures that capture some of the fun things we got up to this weekend:

The highlight of the weekend was dinner, hosted by the Ponds, with four generations of Harrises. Heaven help my poor Nanny, Mother and Jeff - we Harrises can be quite a handful, or so I am told.
What did you do this weekend?

Looks like a wonderful Easter weekend Em! Love the Happy Easter banner (oh, and your row of herbs looks great too!).
