If you live in plain sight of the school yard
you will never go further than home
when the bell rings your legs will not dally
but will tread the few meters alone.
Though inclined to the path least resisting
don’t be frightened of stretching your self
take the back gate and go round the houses
for the ultimate good of your health.

It was a mile from my house to junior school. I did that four times a day.
Dedication 🙂
Go to school, home for dinner (lunch) back to school, home at night. I used to swim an hour every night, and in 62/63 would arrive home with my hair frozen. Young people today, eh? 😀
Remember the ice slides in the playground?
Still got the dent in my head when I went arse over tit. I wasn’t very stable as a child. 🙂
and did you swing on the ‘apparatus’ above the tarmac?
Oh yes. I concussed myself once. Happy days
