I Remember when i was seven before easter day my mum would boil us some eggs for my brother and sisters and when there had cooked and cooled down we would all go and sit at the large wooden table and mum would bring us some water and paint brushes and our tin box paints. We then set to work making a mess but designing a lovely ray of rainbow art on our eggs. After we had left then dry we would stand them in our egg cups and wait for the excitement next morning. We could wait and prayed that it didn,t rain. After dinner we would walk were my great gran lived and she had a grass bank of a hill it wasn,t dangerous and there wasn,t any ditch to hurt ourselves either we would then sit our eggs in a row and then gentle push the eggs down the hill and race after them who every egg reached the bottom of the hill and cracked was the winner. Then we would peel all the shell off and hand over are shells to mum for the garden and eat them it was a thing we did every year now i have sons of my own i boil eggs still but instead of rolling them we gather twigs and put them in a large tall vase and decorate the eggs in bright colours and then pierce the holes in the eggs carefully and tie brightly coloured ribbons and buy fluffy chick from the cake shop and stand them at the bottom. Easter can be still fun even when you get older and don,t just want to sit there making yourself sick eating chocolate.
