Milly, I remember taking my baby siblings out in the baby buggy/carriage mom had for us, it looked nearly identical to this.

Barefoot kids playing sport , my hubby lived in QLD for some of his schooling and apparently kids didn’t wear shoes to school

QLD gets lots of rain (in most parts) it’s tropical …..and green most of the year …...unlike South Australia so kids up there had soft grass to walk on

We wore shoes or our feet would have been burned in Sumer months , but we often played cricket in the big backyard ( in the dry dirt / dust ) in bare feet

One thing I’ve noticed with younger generation including my own younger grandchildren , they get up go to the loo , never wash face and hands / comb hair before having breakfast ……if I’ve mentioned it …..I get told I’m old fashioned ….nah to me it’s

Approaching half past seven (apparently today's generation are clueless when it comes to telling or understanding analog time)
