Easter in UK

This is my first Easter after arriving in the UK. Easter chocolate eggs, hot cross bun, easter roast is the most common word or advertisement on TV I can see. I had a couple of Easter lunch & dinner invitation and one of my friends from Malaysia is visiting her boyfriend in UK so I decided to make my own easter dinner to celebrate with my close friend, friend from Malaysia & her boyfriend at home and also make some easter cupcakes.

I have prepare grilled lamb chop, mash potatoes, steam baby carrots & asparagus and not forgett my favourite Yorkshire pudding. We had a fantastic dinner and I even had no time for pictures.

A dinner at one of my friends house is fantastic. Juliet, she is a single mum and me & my close friends was accompanying her son while she is preparing the dinner. We had chicken risotto, some foccacia bread and some wine. The rice is really good and I was glad she still rememer I don't take beef. Easter in UK is like family & friends gathering and I can't arrange my time to meet others as I was really busy, such a shame. This is supposed to be a chance to meet up with people you miss, love & spend time with them But I am glad I did a few.



Easter dinner was in one of my couple frined who are very private, reserve but nice traditional couple. Stuart & Nik are always very generous on cooking food for friends and have a very kind spirit. We had traditional roast lamb, steamed & roasted vegetables , yorkshire puddings & cheese cake & choccolate cake as dessert. Very enjoyable Easter lunch!

Lovely homemade hot cross bun & jam from my neighbour Marie & Leon.
