The weather report predicts a white Easter for the first time in 25 years. Whilst I feel it is unlikely that we will get any snow, as we rarely do in Egham, it did make me recall the last white Easter. At that time I must have been about 4 years old. I remember waking up on Easter morning and looking out of the window to see several inches of snow. I also remember my great excitement at seeing footprints in the snow. My mother of course used this to her advantage and told me that the Easter bunny must have visited in the night. I now know that it is more likely the footprints were left by either a cat or a fox but still remember my excitement when I saw those footprints.
