Alison Curtis: How to have a family-focused Easter

"I am not a massive crafter myself, but if ever there is a time of year to become one, Easter is it! It is so calming, mindful and really really fun."

Easter is traditionally a time of year where families get together for big meals and easter egg hunts. Last year we all had to make the most of lockdown and not having the chance to be with one another in large groups.

We did a bit of decorating ahead of Easter but I honestly think Covid took over everything and we were a bit in shock. We even skipped a big meal and had takeaway for the three of us. Of course, the Easter Bunny visited and there was lots of chocolate but, in short, there was no big celebration and we just got through it.
