my grandfather used to walk to and FROM school Uphill....
I used ride my bicycle to school against the south wind. Then when school was over the wind had changed direction and I had to ride home against the north wind. AND that is a true story!
Mine did too! up hill both ways. He says the daily blizzards where awful on his bare feet!
We had it tough ... I had to get up at 9 o’clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of dry poison, work 29 hours down mill, and when we came home our Dad would kill us, and dance about on
our grave singing Haleleuia ...
