I'm an American who has no idea why I am so fascinated or how your videos were recommended to me...but your videos are awesome. I feel like I'm traveling there and exploring, love it.
When we were small, we used to use a pin to make a hole either end of the egg, blow out the egg yolk into a cup, wash and dry the egg shell, then paint it. Glue ribbon to the top then hang them all from a small branch of tree blossom in a jug. The egg yolks can be used for a cake or breakfast. 🐣🐤🐥🪺
I'm an American transiting through Heathrow in July on my way to Dubai. I had to call BA customer service today to arrange a twelve hour layover so I can run into the city and visit Harrods. The customer service agent I was talking to was so nice. She lives in London and I told her I was getting all of my pointers by watching your videos. When I mentioned the market under the train tracks video she knew exactly what I meant and said she had never been but after I told her about it she said she is going to go. It's sure is a small world. Keep up the great work. (P.S. I love the afternoon tea videos!)
I grew up in London in the 50's and 60's and we used to dye and decorate boiled eggs, even used to try and blow them. My kids also did it as youngsters here in Australia. My nieces and nephews in the UK still do it.
Colomba= Dove 🕊.....so in the shape of a Dove of Peace for Easter...Really enjoyed these smaller specialty shops! Never seen before!🕊🌷🌷🌷 Happy Easter! When you boil some eggs put blue cake decorating dye in the water....turn out as pale turquoise eggs...so pretty!
I really admire how Easter is done in the UK .... all the variety of chocolate Easter eggs is amazing! It seems we have more of a mish mash of toys, candies and chocolate bunnies where I live. When I was little (eons ago ... haha .. I'm 53) we had what was called sugar eggs that my Grandmother would make us ... I miss that ... they were sugar eggs decorated and open on one side or end to display a scene inside. It was a special treat we as kids always looked forward to receiving! Have a lovely Easter Hannah! 🐇🥰
Your vlogs are a window to all these lovely things some people may never even see in a lifetime! Please keep 'em coming ❤ As for dying the eggs it's an extremely old tradition, and here in Syria we dye them strictly with onion peels to keep up the old traditions.
I'm English from Norwegian grandparents. When I was a kid and actually celebrated Easter,my grandfather (who was an artist who painted landscapes that actually sold) used to hard boil eggs and then paint little artworks on the shells, which of course ended up broken when I ate the eggs. I always preferred those to the cloyingly sweet chocolate ones everyone seems to favour. BTW, love your Vlog, even though I live an hour from London and work there 90% of the time. You're an awesome Vlogger,even for a jaded-about-London Brit like myself.
You know, on the topic of sunlight, I was in London in 2019 for 10 days and 9 out if 10 days were warm and sunny and gorgeous! I must have been lucky! On another note, thanks for the awesome videos ❤
Yes, Hannah, dying eggs is our (American) tradition! You boil them and dip them in dye. There's so many creative ways these days with how to dye them! Lots of fun and messy!
And we Greek Orthodox Christian, we dye our eggs Red for Greek Orthodox Easter but as an American, we always dyed our eggs multi colors and decorated them. Loved that we got to do both 🐰 Baci is pronounced Batchi 🍫
Some people thought that eggs cooked on Good Friday and eaten on Easter Sunday would improve fertility and prevent sudden death, and it became the custom for people to have their eggs blessed before eating them.
Would you be able to go to some unique, small, neighborhood shops. Like gift, stationery, smaller boutiques, fabric, interiors, or needlepoint shops? Love the videos!!
I’m English and was brought up with a boiled egg in the morning and painting it. I’m sure mum said her parents In Manchester had the same tradition. Thanks for the 2 vids a week, super trooper! 😊
Yes, I decorate for Easter! I have a lot of Easter decorations-stuffed bunnies, ceramic bunnies, blown decorated eggs to hang on a branch from the yard, chick figurines, signs, plastic eggs, rabbit coasters, etc. Easter is my favorite! I am working on a decoupage egg now. -USA 🇺🇸
I came back from London a few days ago and it was sunny every day, not all day, but on-n-off every day. Everything was green, daffodils in all the parks, cherry blossoms on almost every street. And thank you Hannah for recommending Harrods and the Ritz afternoon teas. Also shopped at Fortnum for teas. Good times.
I am the youngest of 6 kids, so I dyed eggs and decorated them, with my mom. My sisters were 9 and 11 years older than me, and my brothers were old enough that they didn’t want to do anything like that. My mother and I watched tv, and it was nice to have the one on one with her. She and I decorated the Christmas cookies, but it was an ongoing affair because she made so much! I miss her so much!
Hey my fellow Americans, and maybe UK folks too? Costco has large bags full of gold foil wrapped milk chocolate bunnies from France this year for $15! They are very good. I usually have to pay a fortune for French chocolate so this is a great find. Just thought Hannah R fans might like to know.
Yes, at approximately 4:45, it is an American thing. Didn't realize it before. Similar to Greeks dying eggs red at Easter--could be where it started in USA. Those eggs would be used in Easter egg hunts but nowadays it's more likely plastic ones with something inside. There's an annual hunt at the White House where they use wood ones. The real dyed eggs are eaten afterwards.
I see sunlight and blue skies often - I live in Devon. Devon knows how beautiful it is... and we also have an oceanic climate, this morning we had a misty start - once that cleared we had beautiful blue skies. Easter is earlier this which means the bank holidays are more spread out.
Colomba, an Italian Easter cake represents the Easter Dove of peace. The head is given to the head of the family, the tail the mother of the family and the wings represent the children of the family. It’s only available during Easter whereas Panettone although it’s a Xmas cake, is found through the year. Scottish-Italian person here.
5:40 Young people haven't seen ladybugs casually on a random flower on the street like we have been raised up. You can feel the impact. It's taken for granted.
I grew up in the north of England )& remember pace eggs🪺being painted or dyed @ Easter & then egg rolling down a hill on Easter Monday. Also, never opened Chocolate Easter eggs until Easter Sunday & it was a time to have a new outfit ( unlike nowadays ) 😊
I love the different chocolate shapes you have for Easter. Never saw a chocolate unicorn or dragon before. I have to say, I watched your other 2 videos with Harrods and Fortnum and Mason and hands down Harrods is my favorite. Such a classy store. Tip for tying your laces on your sneakers: after you make the first loop, wrap the other lace twice through the hole before you pull it tight. Your laces will never come undone again!
I had such a hard week aand couldn't watch your videos for the week until today. Going out with you brought me back to myself. THANK YOU DEAREST HANNAH!!
I can remember chocolate Easter eggs coming into fashion when I was a child in the UK in the 1950's. They had been around a long time but were far too expensive for a lot people until then. I can't remember whether it was Cadbury or Frys who started the affordable egg. It always had a "crocodile skin" embossed pattern. Before these we used to get a varnished papier mache egg with a jolly printed Easter scene on. It was in two halves tied with ribbon and contained sweets, a little toy and hankies. Sometimes we got tin ones. I think you could buy the cases and fill them yourselves. We used to dye boiled eggs with food colouring or onion skin or beetroot juice to have for breakfast. We also used to blow eggs, blow out the yolk and whites and dye the shells and they were to decorate the house with. I carried on the egg dying tradition with my own children.
I love your videos Hannah! I was born and brought up in London and lived in Maida Vale for many years. I don't currently live in London but I love going down memory lane to all of the shops I used to visit in the West End. Many happy memories! Thanks for making these videos!!! ❤
I’m in Texas and I do decorate for Easter. I made a small quilted wall hanging of squares with a decorated egg in each of the nine squares. I have a 4 foot tall wooden rabbit that sits by the fireplace and a wreath etc. just marks that spring is here!!
Love that we get to see posh chocolates and learn about global Easter traditions in Hannah’s lovely vids and the comments section! Thank you for sharing! ❤
What another lovely video! I absolutely love how you really showcase the “goods” in the shop and actually pick it up and show us what you like. Other vlogs that I’ve seen they kind of just span the displays and aisles without really looking at anything. Love your stuff! Hope your Easter was a blessed day! 🐇🍄🐣🪺🪻🌈
Yes Americans dye and decorate either hard boiled eggs or "blown" shells-- but the eggs are white. It doesn't work well with the brown eggs in Europe. The dyed eggs are hidden around the house at night by the Easter Bunny and the kids find them Easter morning. Then mum makes devilled eggs with them. The Easter bunny will also leave a basket with a chocolate bunny (not an egg). One has to eat the chocolate bunny ears first. That's my childhood anyway. 😊
Thanks for the showing the floral bouquets, such variety and so beautiful!! I love the chocolates in the spring colored foil as well. Chocolate is medicinal! 😉🙃😊
Oh, I read about Easter eggs and the Ukrainian farmers wrote names on eggs to celebrate Spring and the Sun since their winters are so long and dreary. We need that here too (:
Thank you for you calm and positive vibes. I am from russia, i am still shaking after crocus. Even tho it was 6 days ago, we still have terror alert. Btw, i live in the north of russia, we still have snow, so thank you for showing some bloomings as well ❤️
I'm from the US. And for easter at least in my family we dye eggs and we do sort of decorate. Easter window clings and a few knickknacks for easter. But we sadly don't do the chocolate eggs which I find is such a miss for us here . Feel like people would be all over them. ❤
Congratulations on the sunshine Hannah! The air looks fresh and clean! I am in tune with your sentiments, as my weather seems almost perfectly in tune with yours. Even to the point of the first appearance of cherry blossoms. Ah another sugar and chocolate season is upon us. Something I must carefully avoid. Hannah, have a sweet week!
Hi Hannah the classic rover car from yesterday year they don't make them like that anymore. Have a good Easter don't eat to much chocolate have a good one xx❤❤
I enjoyed seeing the ornate package for the Easter eggs. So much chocolate!! It would be hard to choose. As an American, I love the Reece's peanut butter bunnies. So good. Thank for sharing.🥰
I was going to treat myself to one of those large UK eggs that have chocolates or mini chocolate bars inside them, but at $35+ at a British import shop here in Canada I decided against it 😬😄
Thank you for taking us along Hannah, it's early Easter Saturday evening here in South Africa, a few of my family members and I are indulging in your videos, we're taking a little break before we do our family Easter Sunday 'ritual' by attending Sunday service. I wish we could bottle some of the South African 'sunshine' and 'warm temperature' even in the early days of Autumn and send it off to you. 🤩🤩
Thx Hannah for taking us on a tour of the most expensive Easter treats shopping! Even though the prices were crazy high for some items, the selection of Easter treats was very nice! Hannah I appreciate all your efforts in making these great vlogs, & still can't believe that you are filming 2 a week....lucky us viewers! Have a great week Hannah & I look forward to watching your next vlog on Friday! Cheers!!!
Even though it's not my Easter until May 5th, I'm Greek Orthodox, all these chocolate gifts for Easter are over the top. We also dye our eggs a dark red color to assimilate the blood of Christ shed for us all. Happy Easter Hannah! ❤
Ooh, Partridges, another first for me! They should win the classiest "grocery bag" award too. I like your trench, Hannah, but then everything looks great on you.
I had to look up the Colomba cake and found it is an Italian Easter Bread and is usually formed into a cross but distorts quite often on 'proving' and baking. Sounds edible but I have never seen them here in NZ - may have to look harder or make my own for a try. Thanks for the tour Hannah.
Just adding to the other comments: blowing out eggs and dying them (or using boiled ones) is a long tradition in Germany, too. They used them in church to separate them from the non-blessed offerings during Easter :) The blown-out ones get hung on a bunch of pussywillow, with other decorations.
I’m an American, and I’m a bit ashamed to admit that I never realized dying boiled eggs at Easter was only an American thing (or perhaps, that it was NOT a thing in England)! Thank you for another beautiful video ❤
It isn’t a case of American exceptionalism….and if you read these comments you will learn of some of the many European countries from which the egg dying custom originated. And where many Americans originated as well.
@@Krzyszczynski as I am not in a position to read all 500 comments, I’ve edited my comment to include the correction that I was unaware folks in England (apparently) DON’T do this. Her statement that “in America they boil eggs and color them” made me think this was more isolated to the U.S. than it apparently is, and it seems I’ve given offense. I hope this will remedy the situation.
Happy Tuesday, Hannah! A fun mooch through several shops for all the Easter treats today. The egg dye and coloring kits are a mostly American thing. I remember doing it when I was much younger. Looking forward to Friday’s vlog! Have a wonderful week!
Here in Czechia Easter is a pretty big thing with a lot of history. We also boil eggs and decorate them, I think the tradition was the women would decorate eggs and then give them to the men who came to whip them with a stick (yes, it's a real thing. No, we're not all crazy here. Yes, I absolutely hate this holiday.), so the men got a pretty decorated egg as a reward. Nowadays the tradition has shifted a bit, we still decorate eggs but mostly as a little Easter activity and to use as decorations, meanwhile the men get chocolates. We don't do Easter hunts though, usually chocolates are given to kids just as a gift instead.
Love ur holiday tours!! For the $$ the reusable containers make it a bit more worth it, to use year to year. All so lovely! Enjoy time w ur fam!❤️🙋🏻♀️
Hannah I really liked the look around all the different shops today! You got some very yummy Easter goodies! 😋Just wondering if you ever did pick up that Hot Cross Buns curd from Harrod's! 😉 I really like watching you, because you show and explain so many different things. I had no idea that you guys didn't dye your Easter Eggs! That was one of my favorite Easter traditions as a kid. It's funny that the store only had two varieties. In the US some stores (like Walmart) would have an entire section just dedicated to different types of Easter Egg dye - bright colors, pastels, stickers, stamps, even sparkles! Thank you for another great tour around your town! See you Friday! 🌞
Wonderful video. Now you've made me want to go shopping. and I have no little ones near me to enjoy. I may have to revert back to my childhood and make myself an Easter Basket. Do the children get new Easter clothes over there? I remember we used to get pretty , frilly dresses for church. Thanks Hannah, donna from North Carolina.
I know someone has already explained the shape of the Italian Colomba cake, but I wanted to say that the flavor and texture are very similar to the Italian panetone. It is usually offered in several different flavors and some even have a filling.

Hi, I'm an American living in France and I totally agree with you! Hannah's videos are relaxing and always a joy to watch.
Same here - from Canada! 😊
Same here, I am from Texas and I feel like I'm hanging out with my BF
I heard on the news here that cocoa prices have gone up worldwide and that's why chocolate is expensive these dsys
I’m a New Zealander I I have an idea why these videos were reccomended to me… maybe like me your a closet Anglophile
As an American child, I loved the tradition of dyeing boiled eggs
I grew up in London UK and used to dye eggs.
I'm 60 yrs old and I still dye eggs. Now only about 6 but still love it!
It’s impossible not to love Hannah ❤. She’s funny even when she’s not trying and always a great 👍 video 😊
Isn't she wonderful! I never tire of her. I could watch her all day.
When we were small, we used to use a pin to make a hole either end of the egg,
blow out the egg yolk into a cup,
wash and dry the egg shell, then paint it.
Glue ribbon to the top then hang them all from a small branch of tree blossom in a jug.
The egg yolks can be used for a cake or breakfast.
🐣🐤🐥🪺
I did that, too! We ate a lot of eggs for breakfast! Every year I think that I will make some, but I don’t.
I'm an American transiting through Heathrow in July on my way to Dubai. I had to call BA customer service today to arrange a twelve hour layover so I can run into the city and visit Harrods.

When I mentioned the market under the train tracks video she knew exactly what I meant and said she had never been but after I told her about it she said she is going to go.

I’ve loved all these Easter treats videos! Talk about spoilt for choice. Thank you for taking us round to all the posh shops!! 🐣 🐇🐥🌷🪻💝
Dyeing eggs are an old Swedish tradition as well and the most common Easter decoration is decorating birch twigs with coloured feathers or wool🎉
Germany too🇬🇧🇩🇪😎
Colomba= Dove 🕊.....so in the shape of a Dove of Peace for Easter...Really enjoyed these smaller specialty shops! Never seen before!🕊🌷🌷🌷 Happy Easter! When you boil some eggs put blue cake decorating dye in the water....turn out as pale turquoise eggs...so pretty!

Watching this on Good Friday while trying to fast is an exercise in will-power.
We decorate our eggs in Scotland! And even roll them down a hill afterwards 🤣
I’m a Londoner and I grew up decorating eggs for Easter, along with making Easter hats and baskets. Definitely not just an American thing.
4:58 The egg painting is something they traditionally do here in Sweden as well. :)
As an American, I do decorate for Easter. I love to and it makes me happy to look at it.
Hello Hannah, I am so pleased to see you and the sun! x
Love this video thanks Hannah x
Your vlogs are a window to all these lovely things some people may never even see in a lifetime! Please keep 'em coming ❤
As for dying the eggs it's an extremely old tradition, and here in Syria we dye them strictly with onion peels to keep up the old traditions.
Thank you Hannah for showing us all these amazing places.
I'm English from Norwegian grandparents. When I was a kid and actually celebrated Easter,my grandfather (who was an artist who painted landscapes that actually sold) used to hard boil eggs and then paint little artworks on the shells, which of course ended up broken when I ate the eggs.

Yes, Hannah, dying eggs is our (American) tradition! You boil them and dip them in dye. There's so many creative ways these days with how to dye them! Lots of fun and messy!
I think it's a persian hungrian tradition, not american
I was about to say that it's a definite European tradition.
We Canadians colour eggs too! :)
Ukranians make very intricate designs on their eggs. In the Eastern Orthodox tradition, Easter is almost a bigger thing than Christmas.@@Tak12667
And we Greek Orthodox Christian, we dye our eggs Red for Greek Orthodox Easter but as an American, we always dyed our eggs multi colors and decorated them. Loved that we got to do both 🐰 Baci is pronounced Batchi 🍫
Yes Hanna you have wonderful way of making us all feel like we’re with you shopping and exploring the shops marvelous videos thank you and God bless❤😊
And those dyed eggs will sometimes have leaked dye into the egg and they are beautiful in your Easter Potato Salad.
Some people thought that eggs cooked on Good Friday and eaten on Easter Sunday would improve fertility and prevent sudden death, and it became the custom for people to have their eggs blessed before eating them.
Hiya, in Canada we dye eggs as well and hide them for children to find.
Would you be able to go to some unique, small, neighborhood shops. Like gift, stationery, smaller boutiques, fabric, interiors, or needlepoint shops? Love the videos!!

You are right we color eggs here in US, always the day.before Easter. We would end up.having egg salad sandwiches the following week.

Nice video Hannah….mmmmm lovely chocolate eggs 👌👌😂
Hannah - if you are a chocolate lover someday get to the Lindt factory in Zurich Switzerland. Went in December - chocolate overload Heaven!
I’m in Texas and I do decorate for Easter. I made a small quilted wall hanging of squares with a decorated egg in each of the nine squares. I have a 4 foot tall wooden rabbit that sits by the fireplace and a wreath etc. just marks that spring is here!!

I made a Simnel cake for Easter, fruit cake topped with marzipan, delicious.
Love your videos ❤ Thanks Hannah
I'm scottish, we boil and decorate our eggs and roll them down a hill. Very very traditional. Wouldn't be Easter without rolling an egg.
We do color the eggs in America. Not so much now. But in the old days when I was growing up.
In the Netherlands we also do that, painting real boiled eggs. Collor them and paint them. I used to do it with my mom every year.
In Latvia we also color eggs for Easter but usually not with artificial colors.
Oh, I read about Easter eggs and the Ukrainian farmers wrote names on eggs to celebrate Spring and the Sun since their winters are so long and dreary. We need that here too (:
Scotland here. We also boil eggs, then paint or dye them.
A wonderful walkabout Hannah always fun to see all the treats you can purchase in London. Looking forward to Friday. Take care.

I enjoyed seeing the ornate package for the Easter eggs. So much chocolate!! It would be hard to choose. As an American, I love the Reece's peanut butter bunnies. So good. Thank for sharing.🥰
To sum much of the comments up, dyeing Easter eggs is a tradition in:
USA
Canada
Sweden
Hungary
Greece
Scotland
England 😊
Germany? I saw many egg trees in Windows and in Yards with colored plastic eggs.
I was going to treat myself to one of those large UK eggs that have chocolates or mini chocolate bars inside them, but at $35+ at a British import shop here in Canada I decided against it 😬😄

Thx Hannah for taking us on a tour of the most expensive Easter treats shopping! Even though the prices were crazy high for some items, the selection of Easter treats was very nice! Hannah I appreciate all your efforts in making these great vlogs, & still can't believe that you are filming 2 a week....lucky us viewers! Have a great week Hannah & I look forward to watching your next vlog on Friday! Cheers!!!
Even though it's not my Easter until May 5th, I'm Greek Orthodox, all these chocolate gifts for Easter are over the top. We also dye our eggs a dark red color to assimilate the blood of Christ shed for us all.
Happy Easter Hannah! ❤
Ooh, Partridges, another first for me! They should win the classiest "grocery bag" award too. I like your trench, Hannah, but then everything looks great on you.
I had to look up the Colomba cake and found it is an Italian Easter Bread and is usually formed into a cross but distorts quite often on 'proving' and baking. Sounds edible but I have never seen them here in NZ - may have to look harder or make my own for a try. Thanks for the tour Hannah.
Just adding to the other comments: blowing out eggs and dying them (or using boiled ones) is a long tradition in Germany, too. They used them in church to separate them from the non-blessed offerings during Easter :) The blown-out ones get hung on a bunch of pussywillow, with other decorations.
I’m an American, and I’m a bit ashamed to admit that I never realized dying boiled eggs at Easter was only an American thing (or perhaps, that it was NOT a thing in England)! Thank you for another beautiful video ❤
It isn’t a case of American exceptionalism….and if you read these comments you will learn of some of the many European countries from which the egg dying custom originated. And where many Americans originated as well.
@@Krzyszczynski as I am not in a position to read all 500 comments, I’ve edited my comment to include the correction that I was unaware folks in England (apparently) DON’T do this. Her statement that “in America they boil eggs and color them” made me think this was more isolated to the U.S. than it apparently is, and it seems I’ve given offense. I hope this will remedy the situation.
Happy Tuesday, Hannah! A fun mooch through several shops for all the Easter treats today. The egg dye and coloring kits are a mostly American thing. I remember doing it when I was much younger. Looking forward to Friday’s vlog! Have a wonderful week!
Here in Czechia Easter is a pretty big thing with a lot of history. We also boil eggs and decorate them, I think the tradition was the women would decorate eggs and then give them to the men who came to whip them with a stick (yes, it's a real thing. No, we're not all crazy here. Yes, I absolutely hate this holiday.), so the men got a pretty decorated egg as a reward. Nowadays the tradition has shifted a bit, we still decorate eggs but mostly as a little Easter activity and to use as decorations, meanwhile the men get chocolates. We don't do Easter hunts though, usually chocolates are given to kids just as a gift instead.
Great fun! ❤ Hope you have had a blessed Easter.❤
love your videos. beautiful easter chocolates and goodies! have a lovely Easter with your family!
All of those places looked amazing!! 😋
Love ur holiday tours!! For the $$ the reusable containers make it a bit more worth it, to use year to year. All so lovely! Enjoy time w ur fam!❤️🙋🏻♀️
Hannah I really liked the look around all the different shops today! You got some very yummy Easter goodies! 😋Just wondering if you ever did pick up that Hot Cross Buns curd from Harrod's! 😉 I really like watching you, because you show and explain so many different things. I had no idea that you guys didn't dye your Easter Eggs! That was one of my favorite Easter traditions as a kid. It's funny that the store only had two varieties. In the US some stores (like Walmart) would have an entire section just dedicated to different types of Easter Egg dye - bright colors, pastels, stickers, stamps, even sparkles! Thank you for another great tour around your town! See you Friday! 🌞
It's the same in Germany as well. Painting and decorating eggs.
Wonderful video. Now you've made me want to go shopping. and I have no little ones near me to enjoy. I may have to revert back to my childhood and make myself an Easter Basket. Do the children get new Easter clothes over there? I remember we used to get pretty , frilly dresses for church. Thanks Hannah, donna from North Carolina.
I know someone has already explained the shape of the Italian Colomba cake, but I wanted to say that the flavor and texture are very similar to the Italian panetone. It is usually offered in several different flavors and some even have a filling.
Really enjoyed this Easter Egg Hunt that you took us on. Happy Easter ❤
