Bmda: Cook the Easter bunny

Bermudians are leaving their Easter shopping once again to the last minute – with stores gearing up today for a last minute rush on chocolate, kites, hats and women and children's clothes.

But it seems like Bermudians are going back to their roots this year with sales of wood, string and tissue for kite-making all up considerably in stores.

And certain types of Easter eggs are already starting to sell out as the rush begins in earnest to pick up the necessary items for the holiday weekend.

"It is really good to see the sales up for kite making supplies," said George Grundmuller, head of the Phoenix Stores, which sells the most kites and eggs during this period. "Lets hope that this is the start of Bermudians going back to their traditional ways and making kites as families again."
