Today has been such a hive of activity with our Easter Party at Alexanders starting any minute now!
We've got the bouncy castle blown up, the face painters have arrived, Christine has planned the Easter Egg hunt and we're prepared for lots of locals and residents to visit and claim their free Easter Egg - even the sun has come out!
This promises to be a fantastic Easter Weekend - four days off, decent weather forecast and loads to do around the hotel and the lakes in general. You can all still be part of it as there's still rooms available across the weekend. So escape the snow, driving rain and head our way!
Roll on 5 o'clock!

Not a brilliant day weather-wise yesterday, so was looking for something to do with Joe, my 4 year old which involved getting out of the house, but keeping indoors.
Being Easter thought there would be lots available but according to The Westmorland Gazette it all happens next week. So we ended up at Kendal Library where they have a craft session every month.
The task this time was to create a papier mache egg complete with easter chick - or as we ended up doing a dinosaur chick!
After twenty minutes of being covered in glue and newspaper I decided a runaround at the local soft play area might have been a better idea, but nevermind.
We have to wait for it all to dry now and go back to paint it next month. Given I gave up art at school at the earliest possibility I might have to persuade hubby to do the painting bit. If it comes out OK, I'll post a picture, but not promising anything.
Does anyone else get themselves into such a mess on the pretence of keeping the kids quiet for an afternoon?
Think an Easter Egg hunt this weekend will be a piece of cake in comparison.
Enjoy the holidays!

Just started my second week back from maternity leave and everything is a little manic to say the least.
I feel like I'm the new girl again or back at school after the summer holidays - you remember when you can't write because your hands are all funny!
John has cleaned our office, organised a new desk for me and had my laptop all set and ready to go, only for Tim to cover it with paper for all the projects he's happily handed me back - I don't know what to do first!
Then if I wasn't confused enough I went from a meeting with the reception team to let me know what they're planning for Easter to finalising the Festive brochure with the designers!
But hey . . . it's good to be back!
