tell me what you are doing on easter sunday with famiy

[justasking111]

Do you have any plans or is it going to be a quiet easter this year?

nothing because my family are over 200 miles away but thanks for the reminder that I still can't visit them

Going to church. We don't usually go but everything else is shut.

Nothing. We're in Scotland and family are about 50 miles away in another local authority.

Nothing as in Scotland we can't go to other people's gardens or travel yet.

No plans, nothing has opened up and still only 6 allowed to meet up, I think.

zooming them.

church - finally re-opened and we can sing outside, so singing in the carpark and then indoors.

we were going to have my parents over for lunch round the fire pit, but the forecast is seriously crap, so we are postponing. If it turns out to be fine, we will go and have tea in their garden

It is also DS’s birthday so we have a pretty packed day. House decorated. Presents. Pancakes for breakfast. Egg hunt in garden. My mum and dad coming round for party lunch in garden. Crackers. Maybe go to park. Some games. Had planned a roast turkey dinner in evening but think it will be better to have it on Monday when we can appreciate it more and have more time to cook it.

My family are 500 miles away in Scotland so we would usually go up in Easter holidays that can’t this year for obvious reason

We will go and sit in the in-laws garden for a bit I expect as the weather is supposed to be nice. Seen them fleetingly since Christmas day and both of those occasions were outside as well.

Then we are going to make pizzas with the kids, watch Peter Rabbit movie and drink gin

We are in Wales forecast not good, will not see anyone then, I am tearful to be honest, a duvet day beckons. DS did offer the grandkids to stay overnight to give them a break, but even that is banned this year.

Nothing. MIL is too ill to sit outside and we can't risk being inside with her (ds is at school, and even a cold would probably be the end for her, FIL would never forgive us), so it'll be just another weekend day

Just us and my mum, same bubble since bubbles began!

Nothing out of the ordinary - family are 100 miles away so Easter eggs in our pjs with DD and then a Sunday roast probably. Weather supposed to be shite so definitely a day at home.

Nothing. My family are in another part of the country and I hadn't seen them for ages before covid anyway.

We are MIL’s single person support bubble. She’s coming over for roast duck and staying the night.

After getting the idea on here, I have hired a hot tub.

We normally spend Easter weekend in Wales with my dad.

Church on zoom and eating too much chocolate probably.

Nothing really, normally go to DH's Mum who is in her 80s and lives alone but she lives in France so DH has not seen her since Feb last year, you are only allowed to go if she dies. But she at least has her much younger sister not too far away and nice neighbours. Not sure if we'll be allowed all of this year but at least she finally got vaccinated.

On Friday we have the lido booked but the forecast is for 9C and its fully booked and I'm still not vaccinated and asthma is bad so don't think that will happen. Nothing to do really until 12th April here.

Bit mixed here. Delighted at seeing one DD after 6 months apart.
But sad I can’t go to my church for the Easter service - DD’s partner has been shielding with heart disease, and although now both he and I are vaccinated, and church is fully distanced, masked and sanitised, he’s still anxious in case I bring Covid back with me.
I will make do with Easter from Kings on tv, and enjoy roast lamb, hot x buns and Easter eggs, plus a walk round the local loch.
My other DD I can’t see at all, as she is not in my bubble and lives 50 miles away, but if Sturgeon ever releases the excessive (and ineffective - we have a higher case rate than England, despite being stricter- ) lockdown, we will be having a weekend together.

Easter egg hunt in the morning then a big roast beef lunch with my mum and possible my Dad, brother and nephew as well.

Had you forgotten then? What a snarky response to a perfectly reasonable question.

@trumpisaflump yes you can, we have been allowed in other people's gardens in Scotland since March 12th. Four adults and kids under 12 don't count.

We will go visit my dad in his garden then will take the kids a walk..home for a roast and games.

Eating chocolate eggs for breakfast then carrying on with our day as normal. Usually we would visit my parents but obviously not possible this time.

Nothing. I work nights so it's no different in this house

Church with dd then cooking dinner for all of us. Cant see dd2 as too far
