Survivial Tips from Mr Walker

As a young boy I used to drive my beautiful mother mad. Basically, I could not sit still for 5 minutes and would be kicking the rugby ball everywhere. I lasted 4 weeks in day care, came home and continued to kick the football for 5 hours a day.  So there were some ideas that were presented to me (and my siblings).

STEP 1   GARDENING

It really all depended on how busy we were at home and so the first option was helping dad in the garden.  We were weeding, weeding and planting scrubs and it was from this work at home that when I left school, I initially studied Horticulture and Landscape Design.  Kim and I along with the boys in the House, growing a vegetable garden (photos included) and during these strange teaching times, will continue to grow the veges to eat.  These include, snow peas, peas, radish, lettuce, pumpkins, basil, parsley, sprouts, and cherry tomatoes.

STEP TWO RUNNING

Being active has always been a hobby for me and so this has continued for the past 58 years.  As you can see, running across the Bridge is my counselling session for me and also everyone else.  Mum and Dad had me active all the time so that they could sleep at night and it worked a treat.  So, if you want your son busy, gardening and running is a must.  Stay safe everyone and keep in touch.
