There are no Easter eggs in Dodoma -but there are plenty of hen's eggs, especially in our fridge as we are currently looking after our neighbour's hens for a few days and we have been allowed to collect their eggs. So Esther and Ben set about decorating their own Easter eggs to celebrate Easter day:
We also enjoyed scrambled eggs for Easter breakfast, with our friend Jacqui who is visiting us from London for a week:
Then it was off to the Anglican cathedral in town for the English-speaking service:
Lunch was shared at home with Jacqui and our Swedish MAF friends from the other MAF comppound nearby.
After lunch, the children went into the garden with Easter baskets (made by Esther and Ben) to find some M+Ms sweeties which were posing as Easter eggs and also some plastic version of "Kinder-Surprise" eggs which I eventually found in town yesterday.
Lots of fun was had by all, and we even got to share a bag of genuine "Cadbury's" mini-eggs, kindly given to us by a UK visitor who is here from England to spend time with family in MAF over Easter. There is nothing quite as good as "Cadbury's", so we were very excited!
Happy Easter to you all and hope you've had a lovley day!
