Your comments bear out this view; that it is good exercise, and also good for making friends..a social time in fact. I have spent much time wondering why Melbourne mothers/fathers whizz their children around to so many activities after school, and your comments now suggest that it is to keep them away legitimately from the video games was really interesting. Here in Foster, the kids play in the street after school particularly in the fine warm weather we are having, because traffic is so light it is not really an issue. j Summing up, it sounds to me as if Ruby and Felix are living a really healthy life style, and one that relieves their parents of much unneccessary ferrying to and fro, to which I say, Halleluliah. The web site is good to catch up with your news, Simon...love Mum On reading your reflection, I had, at first, thought a ten hour day was a big ask for your children, but the walking to school together with friends I thought was a huge plus.
