Happy Easter!

Tonnes of chocolates, loads of bunnies and piles of hot cross buns. That's right folks unless you've been on holiday to the moon for a few months you'll know it's Easter.

A time for enjoying family traditions, and in many cases probably putting on a few pounds over the long weekend.

We were discussing Easter traditions in the office this week and some you may know and some you might not; in Australia in an attempt to raise awareness about the dwindling Bilby population, confectioners have taken to making chocolate likenesses of this small rabbit-size marsupial.

In Greece you will only find red eggs - red is the colour of life and the egg is a symbol of the renewal of life. So, the red eggs is victory over death - I think we have all leaned something today!

Closer to home it's also traditionally a time when the property market goes up a gear as the lighter, warmer months approach. So if you are a homeowner that's thinking of selling, it is an eggscellent time (sorry couldn't resist it). Happy Easter!
