With Moonbase Junior and Miss all packed up and gone back home Moonbase is eerily quiet after the busy Easter weekend.
Its still Easter I know and as a kid Easter Monday was by far the most important day of the holiday. Two big things happened; one - we all went as a family - Mum, Dad, Brothers, Sisters, grandkids and me - to Avenham Park in Preston and rolled our chocolate eggs down the huge grassy hill there. We may have had a picnic too but I certainly recall practising Kendo with my older brothers. I was obsessed with Martial arts in the early Seventies and took along two bamboo sticks. Somewhere there are some snaps of this Easter Kendo!
The second thing was Disney Time on at 5 or 6pm on telly. It was the go-to programme back then - snippets of all our fave animated films and some of those quirky live-action movies that Disney did as well like Return to Witch Mountain. I think Disney Time was on for an hour and it was Easter Monday heaven! Today I'm going to watch some She Hulk, Attorney at Law on Disney+ to keep the tradition alive but with a modern twist!
What did you do on Easter Monday as a kid readers?
I don't remember anything specific on Easter Monday for us Woodsy. It was just more holiday.
