Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

The rolling of the grandchildren.

Our two youngest grandchildren celebrated Easter Sunday in the traditional way, by rolling their painted Easter eggs down a hill, as a symbol of the rolling away of the stone at the door of Christ's tomb.

Today we performed a rather less well known custom, the rolling of the grandchildren down the nearest sand dune. Traditionally this always takes place on the first Tuesday after Easter.

No grandchildren, nor indeed grandparents, were hurt in the production of this blip, and there is absolutely no need to call in Social Services.
