Had to call in to town this morning to pick up a passport form, first time we’ve been since February. We had to walk through a group by the bandstand on the way in. On the way out we passed through the same group however two of them were having sex at the side of the path, the rest oblivious. The last time we walked back from the cinema with the kids we passed by a guy having a dump, this was trickier to explain.
So, we’re off in the car to Broughton for the afternoon once again. Instead of walking into the town we grew up in.
Linking into the other thread about high school standards, we have a year before we have to make a decision for our eldest. After this morning, we’ve decided enough is enough. Our kids wellbeing and education is simply far more important than some misguided loyalty to the town we’re from.
We’ve invested a great deal into setting our lives up here but it’s been thrown back at us. Time to move on..
