So lovely you passed on your tradition 🥰

Married a Scotsman and hence discovered egg painting and rolling , it was a must in Scotland even in the snow in the Glens at Easter . My son Iain always painted the Saltire on his and his egg always won . Age 46 and he still wins !.

We stayed there last year and it was fantastic, a larger pitch further into site with load of birds on our feeder,squirrels etc. Even when we packed the awning down the night before another couple asked if we were leaving as they wanted the pitch 😂😂. I did break the dog and my better half with the walk through the fields to Coniston and both needed a full days rest the next day 😢. That campsite in the fields was the same at the weekend when we were there and very messy when most left - I think it's a National trust site.

Never heard of cheese rolling, sorry Iain. Caroline soldiers are a requisite when having boiled eggs. 😊We would decorate our boiled eggs and then eat them. We always turn our boiled eggs upside down and pretend we hadn’t eaten them. Someone else would then smash it. Eggcellent fun 😂. As a child we didn’t have Easter egg hunts but our children did. Well done Brave egg although there may need to be a stewards enquiry. Take care Gill

My husband is a Londoner and he didn’t decorate eggs or roll eggs 😟. I see from the comments someone else from the NE has already mentioned decorating paste eggs and it was a tradition in our family too. We used to make patterns with hot drops of candle wax and soak the eggs with onion skins and cochineal. We then walked to Tunstall Hills, the highest point in Sunderland and rolled them down the hill. They always have a service on the hill on Good Friday and mount a cross and this year I could see it from my kitchen window and so many people were there. Obviously not us! 🥴. Thanks for sharing another interesting video. I hope Molly is fully fit very soon.

Coniston is lovely - we went in the crown too - great they are dog friendly. Loved the inflatable kayak on the water too - can’t beat it can you a paddle on the lake. Breakfast looked cracking too. We used to go rolling eggs 🥚 went to the trouble of buying some egg paint this year but never got around to painting some to roll - feels wrong to do it now. When we were at Coniston we found the film about Donald Campbell on KZread and watched it. Nice beers! 🍻 you guys did the proper Easter thing, we were rubbish 😂 Looks like a lovely visit, have a cracking weekend. All the best, David & Rachel 👍

I remember egg painting/rolling as a child and using onion skins as a colouring agent. Think it’s a much older tradition than the egg hunting, and we had never heard of the Easter Bunny then.
