when i was a child many moons ago.

[ron1863]

Moving from the big city of Glasgow to a country village at the age of 5 opened my eyes to a whole new world, from playing in the woods all day to going for walks up the Campsie Fells, which must have been a joy for my mother as she didn't see my brothers, sisters and me for hours on end. We would set out with a packed lunch at the crack of dawn and return when it was starting to get dark.
During school term we walked to school every day - a mile there and back, changed days as kids are ferried back and forward in cars, mind you that was ove40 years ago.
