I've got the strangest feeling that the summer holidays are now over and that all the little kiddies have been dragged off to school.... I get this feeling by the sudden appearance of traffic jams on roads that have been clear during the summer, caused by the parents who no doubt think that the oher parents clogging up the roads should be walking their children to school....
I remember, and it's not that long ago I'll have you know, that I used to walk to and home from school.... and this was primary school as well as middle and secondary school!! I was proud to say that I was a latch-key kid (a phrase you don't hear so much these days), walking home on my tod.
But in these days of fear and dread I guess I should be thankful that there are at least some kids who still walk to school, making the roads just ever so slightly less jam-packed...
