I love the summer holidays. Not because I’m a student but because for 6 weeks whole of the year the roads are so much quieter. No Mums taking the kids to school in their big 4 x 4’s clogging up our already congested roads and adding to all the greenhouse gasses. On a journey that would normally take me 30 minutes now only takes 20. Think of how much extra time you have on your hands over the course of the holidays.

Whatever happened to kids walking to school? When I went was younger we all used to walk to school, rain shine or snow. It was about 1.5 miles each way and took about 30 minutes. Now the furthest most kids walk is to the car. No wonder there are so many fat kids around nowadays. They just don’t get the exercise anymore.
