Bravo.
And no school uniform, I think I like that.

Where do you live, 18th Century England?

In your Flickr account photos, I noticed those are unrefrigerated free range eggs!
SingleParentDad – She does have a school uniform, but it is optional. So far she is the only kid who has occasionally opted not to wear it. I’m quite pleased with that.
Rattling the Kettle – Close, Huddersfield.
Deb – Stay tuned until tomorrow as I plan on addressing that very issue.
Now that brings back memories of walking back from MY school all those years ago. little country roads and sneaking through the fields for a short cut and testing out the electric fences to see if they really were switched on. Cow pat tossing and leaping the brook made it all the more exciting.
Oh those were the days……have your two been cow pat tossing lately?
Wow, Huddersfield, convenient to Manchester, Leeds AND Sheffield. And cow pats. Looks great. :)
Wow, you guys are like the Forest Gumps of Walking. Nice picture.
Jamess last blog post..Hey, it could happen…
James – excellent observation
what’s with the unrefridgerated free range eggs? I never have eggs in the fridge – everyone knows you should keep them in room temp – don’t they?

Gail – If I’m honest that shot was taken on a two minute detour to get some eggs, our usual route is slightly more pavement based. By the way, the best way to test electric fences is to pee on them.
Anon – Don’t forget Bradford. Although why you’d want to go to Bradford is beyond me.
James – I think I’ll take that as a compliment.
ssingh – You can change your name Mr Singh, but I still know where to send the hate mail.
Gail – We keep them in the fridge when we get them home, but there is nothing wrong with a luke warm egg.
Arjan – Thanks.
You’d probably go to jail here if you make your child walk home from school. It’s a tad on the hot side. They’d die of dehydration after about 100 yards.
I like the green hills. Are houses cheap there? Our country’s going to hell in a handbasket. I might have to make a quick exit. If wonder if your peeps would let me in and the family in.

Where ever you walk home from looks awesome. I miss living in places that I can walk. We aren’t very kind to our legs in the US, our arses take a beating riding all around. It is not uncommon for me to drive 150 miles a day for my job.
… I LOVE farm fresh eggs. Is England hiring? Depending on the election if McCain wins, my husband and I are leaving this country.
Carlas last blog post..Aloha birthday boy!
So you tried to make it look like you are all way back in the past Englishmen when you really walk along roads like the rest of us?
Tut, tut. No wonder those foreigners keep calling us ‘quaint’.

Blimey Dan, that hill looks steep. I love that you can walk to school. We love just under 2 miles from my kids school, which I think is a little too far for a 3 year old and an 8 year old to walk each morning, but which the Council thinks is very doable so we just miss out on free school bus travel. Bugger. I should probably move. (Can you tell I’m bitter?)

@Jo ..can’t you bike? That’s about 15 minutes.
Dan..if I were you I’d watch your borders..it sounds like all the Americans are fleeing back to Europe..

I’m guilt-ridden at the site of your photo. I grew up in village with a picturesque walk to and from my village school and an adundance of countryside in which to play. Ahhhhh, happy days.
Whereas I am bringing up my son in a town with a somewhat less pituresque walk to his (prospective) school and an abundance of traffic that might annihilate him.
I think I may be adding to that Huddersfield invasion.
Thats just a bloody good photo Dan, you’re going to love looking at that one in ten years time when they won’t walk anywhere.
Garys last blog post..Now this was funny to watch…
VegasDad – Our country’s following yours into a handbasket. I wouldn’t say the houses are cheap to be honest. Ours is probably one of the cheaper ones in the area and is worth around $240,000. It’s a lot smaller than you would be used to. I’m tempted to do a tour actually.
Carla – I’m not sure if England is hiring. Maybe you could send a speculative resume to the Prime Minister.
Gail – It’s true, I’m a fraud.
Jo – You could always try persuading the local authority to move the school closer.
Arjan – If my experience is anything to go by, 3 miles cycling with a three year old is more like 4 hours.
Steve – You could move over here! We’re easily within commuting distance of Manchester. Not all Huddersfield is quite as nice though. We’re in the Colne Valley
Gary – I don’t know about ten years time. Just yesterday Amy declared that she was fed up of walking as she likes sitting down better.
