Last Sunday morning, Easter day the grounds of St George’s Brede were littered with adults and their children all searching for little green Dragons and their mum. 5 dragons were not captured nor their mother. We searched high and low but she could not be found. Inside the Church some children were crafting, decorating trumpets, eggs and colouring in eggs or sayings. It was a hive of activity, after making tea or coffee for those who wanted it and handing around homemade Easter biscuits; we had the Easter Bonnet competition 3 entered and their hats were dually scrutinized before the decision was made for the winner. However because all of them were good, it was announced that the other 2 were joint runners up and all received a prize. We then put all the children’s names in the basket and a winner was drawn for the larger egg. Everyone had a good time and I heard it said that it was a good Easter hunt –it was very hard. One of the items chosen by the children went on the Dragons Group board in St Georges. 19 children went home quite tired, with the other crafting items they had done and with the eggs they had been given. The Church was cleared up before the organizers who were also tired went home.
