Used to walk every day from Paddock House to my Grand-parents on Exchange Street with my friend Andrea-we'd sometimes have a dinner from the chippy on the way (very unhealthy) or take sandwiches. Nanny would make us tea and offer cherry buns or Parkin.
We'd watch a programme called The Sullivans set in WW2 in Australia. My sister Denise walked down from Holy Family every day with her friends Catherine and Pauline....a great time was had by all.

Over 20 yrs on -we'd lost touch with Catherine and Pauline but my friend was called out to the suspicious death of a child last year (she's a police Inspectior). When she got there, the severely handicapped child's mother turned out to be Pauline - her son had died in his sleep, he had Cerebral Palsey. Andrea stopped all investigation and signed the necessary foms to save her the anguish of an autopsy and inquiry....

Walking is good excercise....and a great way to free the mind.
