Hi guys!
I hope you all had a great Easter!
I always thought every country, or at least the European ones, had the same Easter traditions but that turns out not to be the case!
We collect chocolate eggs the Easter Bunny and the Easter Clocks have thrown in our gardens whereas others collect painted boiled eggs…
Am I happy to live in the land of chocolate 😉
Seriously, if there is one thing I can’t live without, it’s got to be chocolate!
BUT
I found out that I’m now officially too old to get Easter from my grand parents 😦 (boohoo!)
So hard!
I get it. 21 is officially “adult” but I would love to be a kid when it comes to season holidays…
They didn’t even tell me I’m too old now, they basically just ignored the day!
Normally my grandparents would tell me about how my little nieces came to collect their eggs and what they did and what they got. Then they would hand over my bag full of chocolate eggs 🙂
My other grandparents usually say ‘oh we’ve got your Easter in the kitchen!’.
But this year, none of this.
Until Albert Heijn showed up!
I’ve received a little package and it was filled with all things Easter!
This is what was inside the package:
I love the orange juice! I now drink a glass a day 🙂
But I’m afraid I’ll have to go to the store to buy another one tomorrow…
The chocolates from Dominique Persoone were cool too!
Yumm!
Haha the Easter sprinkles made my bread seem so happy and much more delicious 😉
The regular Easter eggs dissapeared very quickly on our bread or just in our mouths ^^
The thing I loved most was that big piece of chocolate with lovely Easter decoration!
But even that didn’t live long…
No regrets at all by the way!
Thanks to Albert Heijn, I still got to enjoy Easter the way it should be. With lots of chocolate!
Yay!
Have a delicious day ❤

So great to have memories and that those memories almost didn’t change 🙂 if you’d go back, it would probably feel as if you had never left I guess :p although the people may have moved after all these years

It was such a special place I almost wouldn’t want to go back in case my memories got spoilt!
I have such lovely memories of living in Dubai 30 years ago and now I can’t bear to even visit and see what they’ve done to it! Not all progress is positive….!

No, that’s true!
I understand the ‘fear’ to go back to see your memories have changed along the years :s
Incredible that you’ve lived in so many different places 😀
I’ve only lived in 2 houses in more or less the same places xD

Wow! Really???
I first moved house (and overseas) at four months old and it continued from then. I went to 10 different schools!!

Wow! 😮
No I only moved from one town to the one next door xD
I don’t know if I could be able to move so many times, so far away from family
Although it must have been cool to see so many different places 😀

I wasn’t given much choice as a child!!
My husband had more of an experience like yours, and my son is getting the same: we moved when he was 18 months old and have no plan to move from here, ever! He will get the roots and local friendships that I never had x

That sounds nice 🙂 For you too, to maybe finally find a place where you can settle because I think that must have been the main thing you’ve probably never had?
You can still travel a lot to show your son the world 😀
