I am thankful for Irish and Scottish friends who taught me last night another good way to make Easter much more fun for my grandchildren.

This grandmother has been taught how to suck eggs after they have been pricked and make them stand to drain which I shall do as I stand on one leg, twirl around three times and spit in the low wind for good measure. For that, I am thankful too that Po, Celtic and I share the same sense of humour!
