I was woken this morning by my youngest, ‘Happy Easter,’ she said ‘I’ll meet you downstairs’. The possibility of chocolate for breakfast meant that getting a lie in was out of the question.

There’s so much that’s happened that I want to share but it’s all top-secret for the time being, so I’m taking to bouncing around, generally annoying people and trying to keep myself from exploding with excitement.
