Some local kids came to the door today looking to see if C was coming out to play. He's not even two yet.

how old were they ? If they're same-ish age I think it's great that your area is so safe that kids can roam and have lives.

It's almost impossible for kids to be allowed to have adventures for themselves here now. Too many cars, too paranoid about paedophiles or other child botherers.

keep to the Fen Causeway

There's an amorphous blob of kids from three - well two now - to twelve or so that play in the cul de sac. Not a lot of traffic, big front gardens, trees and stuff. The whole estate is mature and pretty safe, though C is going to be confined to our front garden for a while yet!

Oh noes. That means fag at 6, shag at 10, and first IT startup at around 12. Grief...
