Primary school I walked, my friends coming from different directions.  Secondary school I caught a normal bus, again my friends came from different directions.  The kids walked to secondary school, except when there were musical instruments to be conveyed.  And now I walk Mini Hobbit home from school on a weekly basis.

No, but I did carry the kids books at primary school and now - you guessed - I have to carry Mini Hobbit's book bag home.
