A couple of weeks ago as we were walking through Manchester City Centre we came across some beautiful giant Easter eggs. They were part of The Big Egg Hunt sponsored by Lindt chocolates raising money for Action for Children, a UK charity.
101 eggs designed by leading artists had been dotted about the city centre. The range of designs was fascinating and I was on a mission to track them down even though this was meant to be a shopping trip!! It was a cold, wet day but we still persevered although we certainly didn't find them all!!
As it's Easter Weekend I thought I would show you a few of our favourites from cute.....to quirky.....
Last year The Big Egg Hunt was only in London but I'm so pleased that this year it has been touring the UK visiting major cities giving more people the opportunity to take part.
The eggs have now returned to London and will be in Covent Garden until Sunday 7th April. There's an online auction here where people are bidding for their favourites. You can see all the eggs here
Happy Easter to you all!
Look who I spotted visiting our garden a few days ago........
........the Easter bunny!
Happy Easter :)

What a great campaign for charity, they look beautiful, never seen anything like it before. I wonder if something similar took place here in Birmingham and I didn't realize - that's a shame.
ReplyDeleteaaaw that is so cute and coincidental to spot a wee 'bunny' in the garden at this time of year ha ha
Happy Easter

ReplyDeleteHope you are having a fabulous Easter.

Thank you for following. I shall pop over to have a look at your blog soon.
DeleteLondon had something similar last year and my husband and I turned into kids hunting for them! I was hoping they would have something similar this year. And how adorable is that bunny you spotted!?
ReplyDeleteThey are in Covent Garden until Sunday 7th April so you may still get the chance to see them!
DeleteWhat a treat this post was! Love the real live bunny ...
ReplyDeleteThe cute Easter bunny paid you a visit :)It must be such a treat to gaze at these wonderfully designed gigantic eggs during a leisurely stroll.
ReplyDeleteWow amazing eggs....such fun!! xx
ReplyDeleteA very Happy Easter to you and yours, miss B! I hope you had a wonderful holiday. And I'm so glad that you shared these eggs with all of us, this is such a clever project and for a wonderful cause, too! I would love to bring the Tie Dye Egg home, if only I thought I could find space for it in my Parisian apartment and, later, transport it back to Canada :)

Such wonderful Easter eggs! My favorite is the tie-dye, which is what we call it here. It has all the colors of the rainbow. Some of these are so unique and creative. And I love the little bunny that visited your garden. I hope you had a blessed Easter, my friend.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week. It is very windy here today.
