Good morning and happy Easter to all who celebrate. We hope your church service was meaningful and your chocolate enjoyable.

Here in Leicester, the morning is sunny, perfect for a stroll through the beautiful Victoria Park, which is adorned with abundant blossom and a few late-blooming daffodils. For those nearby, consider stopping by the Espresso Street van for a coffee. It is run by 20-year-old Ahmed and a friend, who manage it alongside their degree apprenticeships.
