Emma and Tony thought they would give their toddlers a special Easter egg hunt.  Firstly, Emma hit upon the idea of sprinkling talc on the wooden floor, then using the bunny footprints, they created a trail in the talcum powder.

In the lounge Tony not only placed carrots at strategic points, but also gnawed them to look like the rabbits had been there.  One neat touch was to leave a spilt saucer of milk in the kitchen.

This Easter bunny scene was so realistic that on Easter Sunday morning their children Ken and Lizzy rushed into our bedroom, screaming: ‘the Easter bunny has been’.

Over the years the story has been relived and embellished, 20 years on I am not sure who is the more embarrassed the parents, or the now grown-up children.
