Just need to decide what way to eat them - They are Easter eggs after all!

Well done.
I picked 8 POLs on Sunday and had our first egg on Monday - my daughter was very happy.

I remember the excitment when colllecting my first eggs , even more thrilled when I cracked the largest egg into a pan and discovered not one , not two but three yolks inside ! I've never seen it since , I was so excited I took a photo of it , which of course proved nothing . It just looked like three small eggs  in a frying pan. But I knew it was a triple yolker ! Happy days.
