The Easter Bunny in Switzerland…

Chocolate eggs aren’t big in Switzerland. They do exist, all sizes and fillings and wrapped in a variety of colourful foils. But the main (chocolate) event here is – bunnies.

 

They also come in all sizes and designs, from gorgeous and golden…
to unwrapped (and even more mouth-watering)…
to the kind you buy in your local supermarket.
But the Easter Bunny has more to do here than sit around waiting to be eaten. His duties include (this varies from family to family) decorating the garden,
and hiding little baskets of eggs and small presents for the children to find on Easter morning. (Our Easter Bunny was a bit of a wimp and would leave these hidden in the house when it was wet or snowy at Easter…)
The baskets usually include hard boiled eggs, which come in a mind-blowing variety of colours and designs.
I have to confess that this year, with no small children at home, I’ve done absolutely nothing to decorate the flat for Easter. This is because, after two removals in the past three years, I can’t find the box with the Easter decorations – which may even have been downsized to a bag with the Easter decorations. It’ll turn up sometime…

Meanwhile – Happy Easter!
