Easter

It's Easter time which means two weeks off work for us teachers! Woohoo! We're away from Monday to Friday next week to Center Parcs. It certainly won't be a quiet relaxing week as Joan's booked loaded of activities for us so that'll keep us busy most of the time. I'm sure it'll be fun and relaxing….

I remember Easter as a child and there was a lot more focus on the religious aspects of it than there is now. I remember going to my grand while she boiled up some eggs then us kids would paint and decorate them any way we wanted to. After that the whole family would load up into the cars and off we'd go to find a suitable hill to roll them down.
At school we'd have an Easter service where the minister would come out to the school. That doesn't happen these days, there's more emphasis on the chocolate eggs side of things. Not sure how I feel about it to be honest. Part of me is sad about the loss of the message but at the same time things change and less and less people are religious so it makes sense. Maybe though it should be a spring holiday instead of Easter. Ah well, it's time off work so who cares.
