Did you do any traditional Easter activities

Pace egg rolling, jarping, long rope skipping, dancing round the maypole? I didn’t do any.

Me neither, but pace-egg rolling and "jarping" sound like traditions local to particular villages or areas anyway.

@ArishMell I think jarping (basically like playing conkers with hard boiled eggs) was pretty widespread when I was but a callow youth. It seems to have died out now.

@JoeXP Oh - thankyou for that. I'd never heard of it. Was it a purely regional game?
