Hunt for the Largest Easter Egg

| March 29, 2013

On Good Friday we set off an urban adventure to find the largest Easter Egg.

It was a beautiful sunny morning with a bitterly cold wind and we stopped in the park for a play until our fingers felt as though they would drop off. Our adventurous toddler loves climbing, running and exploring. Her confidence is streaks ahead of her capabilities so Daddy was called to join her in the ‘big’ playground.

Daddy got more than he bargained for when he found himself coming down a slide made for little ones. Thankfully we were the only ones at the park at 9am on Good Friday!

Living in London near the River Thames means we’re lucky enough to walk along the beautiful and changing landscape of the city’s iconic river. The River Thames has a total length of 215 miles and tides that rise and fall by 7 metres. This morning the tide was out so we could see the river’s foreshore below us.

We headed to Canary Wharf for a play near the fountain. I tried to keep Imogen out of the fountain by explaining that the water was freezing cold and not for swimming in. She ended up with a soaking wet glove, it could have been worse. After several runs around the fountain we headed indoors to warm up and have some lunch.

On our way home we walked through Westferry Circus Gardens. Did we find the largest Easter Egg in London? This beautiful bronze sculpture is by Do Vassilakis-König.
