Like the corncrake,this expression of childish exhuberance is rarely witnessed these days.In my youth were your auld fella to give you six pence pocket money of a Sunday instead of the usual thruppence you would be hoppin,skippin and jumpin for yonks.It was a common enough sight then,not so much now.
I was therefor absolutely delighted to see a number of small grandchildren of ours hopping etc.,to their hearts content last Sunday for no particular reason other than pure bliss.
