We have to drive because it's just too far but with my second drop-off we always park away from the school and walk that extra bit. Makes all the difference.<br /><br />Congrats on your award. xxharmony and rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514921461051048885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-68028688323091848942010-10-07T20:45:21.230+01:002010-10-07T20:45:21.230+01:00We never walked to school cos it was too far, but ...We never walked to school cos it was too far, but we do go for lots of walks and I agree that walking and talking go together very naturally.potterjotterhttp://potterjotter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-47663976562591002812010-10-07T16:10:47.617+01:002010-10-07T16:10:47.617+01:00I loved this post -it took me back to when I used ...I loved this post -it took me back to when I used to walk my daughters to school! Like you, I found it was a relaxing thing to do before and after school, chatting in the fresh air - though sometimes we (I!)had rather a lot to carry! And the traffic and congestion of school time is something I try to avoid even now, in the car. Hope the rain keeps off for you!<br />Helen xHelen Philippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085327303967055337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-37423266987440486562010-10-06T22:33:39.442+01:002010-10-06T22:33:39.442+01:00Jumping in puddles is actually one of my most favo...Jumping in puddles is actually one of my most favourite games ever :)Rhiannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02957030609161576246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-8632244198032789712010-10-06T19:35:22.606+01:002010-10-06T19:35:22.606+01:00snap - we did exactly the same today but I think t...snap - we did exactly the same today but I think that was because I'm still not 100% well and didn't want to get soaked through. Our school is having a walk to school month because , and this is the truth , there are families who drive to school and their house is on the same street -- I kid you not . You can stand at the school gate , watch the kids getting in the car , the car pulls up to the gates , the kids jump out and the parents drive back home !!periwinklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02061430927732039062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-46585326504391317382010-10-06T18:09:53.696+01:002010-10-06T18:09:53.696+01:00Our walk is far too short to justify a car ride un...Our walk is far too short to justify a car ride unless, as today, one of them is already off sick and the other is being sent home ill; or we're on our way somewhere else.
