@sjpurrs Ah, the free-range days when there was a spare kid on every corner.
@davetheresurrector Yeah, it was like that. And I was definitely free-range.

Every day after school, I'd get home, raid the fridge and bolt out the door to the oval. I had no idea who would be there but other kids would always pop in and we'd kick the ball around or organise a game. Then, darkness would fall and we'd all disappear.
We never called each other or planned anything but we connected when our paths crossed. I really like being back in that world.
@sjpurrs You're describing the park next to my house (just to tell you that such places still exist)

@David That's great to hear. None of the parks near my pace are like this anymore. Stranger danger rules, so kids are always supervised now.

@sjpurrs Luckily, I live in a civilized society.

@David I lived in that society for a long time and that is certainly one advantage it has over mine.
