Unlike when I was a
child and lived miles from our school and had to be driven to school,
as we live relatively close to Bug's school everyday we complete the
school run by walking to and from school. Whilst I enjoy walking Bug
to and from school especially as we chat without having the stress of
driving through the 'traffic jams of school run time' distracting me
from hearing about his day and I get to babywear Jelly Bean, walking
the school run can be a dangerous as we tackle road crossings and traffic.
As well as having to
avoid perils such as busy roads with cars driving too quickly, hectic
road crossings and copious amounts of dog mess that we do our best to
not step in we also have to face an onslaught of parents abandoning
their cars on the pavements as they rush to get to school on time and
want to get as close to the school as possible even if that means
mounting the pavement regardless of those walking along to school as
we do. I have shockingly and worryingly witnessed cars racing up onto
the pavement only inches away and without a second thought of safety
for a walking family!
