At age 5 in 1959 I walked to infant school on my first day with the girl next door who was 6! After that I went alone. When my younger brother started I took him. It wasn't far but involved a gated level crossing though roads were quiet then. Junior school was a bit further but there was a lollipop lady for the only main road we had to cross. Secondary school was just under 3 miles away so I went by bus. When I was older I sometimes walked in the summer to save the bus fare. My brother thought it was unfair because his school was just over 3 miles so he got a contract bus for free and couldn't 'earn' the money by walking!
Recommendations please, for a stopover on the way to Loch Tay
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
