We had such fun making those. At one stage we seemed to have most of the neighbourhood kids at our kitchen table painting them.

Thanks Aggie. We all had fun at those events. Weβre hoping the newest whanau member, our nephew-ish, will be ready for this in a couple of years. ππ

Such a great photo. How well did the eggs roll? I have only ever rolled eggs down the aisle of a church. They rolled well. π

We use to go to Mt Vic In Devonportβ so they had a lot of help from gravity. But the long grass and many bumps created fun challenges.

Now thatβs a picture! My first thought: boy does that look like an Irish Easter. Not just because he has such red hair, but the setting reminds me of Ireland.
So, is there Gaelic heritage or countryside in the image? Or am I just bewitched by the pixie child from years gone by?

NZ is very green, like Ireland. And topographically like the hilly bits of Scotland (and probably Ireland too). The boy is all Scots on my side, and a mix on his dadβs. We definitely suspect some Viking influences. π

Aw. I just handed my boys some Easter eggs on Saturday because the Middle Son had to go back to uni that afternoon. It’s a different stage of life I guess.

Thatβs true. My redhead came to dinner on Sunday night, and went home with a couple of chocolate bunnies, but I do miss the traditions. Tβs cousin, who lives near us, has a two year old son and weβre thinking that by next Easter he might be old enough for an egg hunt. π€¨

Easter egg rolling? Never heard of it. Sounds like fun.

Itβs funny how I thought it was a thing that people did (except my family), then when we started doing it, no-one else seemed to have heard of it. Oh well, itβs fun.

Aww – such a lovely pic and memory! I’ve never heard of this egg rolling before – is it a British tradition? And are they cooked??!

Thank you. I used to believe it was some sort of tradition (probably British) until we started doing it, and people claimed never to have heard of it. So I’m wondering if I dreamed the “tradition” part and actually made it up.
They were cooked; I’d hate to have left a mess of broken eggs all over the park where we rolled them.

LOL! Well, traditions have to come from somewhere, so why not invent your own? π It sounds like a lot of fun too, so my guess is, more people are willing to pick it up. In a couple of hundred years they will wonder who started the hype. π
