An engaging Easter walk in the woods

This Easter was a very special one for Paul and I. In the afternoon, we went out to a woodland outside of Norwich called Hockering Woods. It is a proper ancient English woodland with a myriad of thousands of bluebells carpeting the forest floor. It was so pretty I snapped a few pictures: While we had exchaged chocolate Easter eggs earlier in the morning (they do eggs instead of bunnies here) -- Paul turned ot me and said he had another Easter egg treat for me. He pulled out of his bag a kindersurprise egg. It is a little chocolate egg the size of your palm that has a little plastic capsule inside that hides a little toy. They look a little like this: So I unwrapped the egg and gave Paul a bit of the chocolate and when I opened the trinket capsule -- inside was a beautiful and sparkly engagement ring! Paul proposed and I said YES!
Neither one of us could stop smiling! We're getting hitched!

How awesome! Congrats! How'd he get the ring in a Kinder Surprise?!?! That would have been an absolute perfect proposal for me as I am obsessed with those things, have been since I lived in Germany.
