Yep, mine was not pretty action packed too. Packed off to Sunday School, maybe Mum went to church, Dad had the excuse that he had to write up whatever Rugby match he'd been reporting the previous day.
In the afternoon the obligatory Sunday walk, tea with the GPS and that was it. When I was older, doing my homework on the dining table with (I think) Round the Horne on the " wireless"
Don't actually recollect much "fun" but that was Presbyterian Scotland when you didn't cut your grass or hang your washing out on a Sunday.

Just musing what to make for Sunday lunch and I was reminded of Sundays when I was a child. I went to Sunday school at my aunt's church then she would come back to our house. If the weather was good I would sit on the back step with my mum while she peeled potatoes and shelled peas. The neighbours would often be mowing their lawns with old fashioned mowers and Forces Family Favourites would be on in the background. My dad would exchange a few words with his sister then go back to reading the Sunday paper!
