Lent starts on Wednesday and it's seven weeks to Easter and the shops are already stocking up on Easter eggs.If you've read my posts in the last few days you will know that this is Fairtrade Fortnight, and there are several options when it comes to Fairtrade Easter eggs.
But when it comes to Fairtrade eggs that tell you on the box that Easter is not about eggs, but about the death and resurrection of Jesus you only have one option.
And that is the Real Easter Egg.
Four UK supermarkets have agreed to stock this - as a trial, to see the kind of demand there will be. They are Morrisons, Waitrose, Co-op and Booths. We were pleased to discover that our local Morrisons does.
So if you are buying Easter eggs this year why not buy the Real Easter Egg; if possible from your local supermarket. Supermarkets only stock what we buy! If your local supermarket doesn't stock it - ask the manager why not. And if you find that the Queensbury Morrisons is out of stock - ask them when they're getting more in.
If your local is a Tesco or a Sainsbury's - bad luck. The good news is you can buy them online. To order or to find out a whole load more information visit their website by clicking here.
