"She’s hit by a soft breeze, the earthy smell of roots. She hobbles over to the little square patch of grass, flings her slippers to one side and spreads her grey toes into the earth, stands a while rooted."

Back from a break in stunning #Oban #Scotland Great to be away from traffic of life for a few days. A couple of pics from the Dog Stone walk we did including my son pointing out a hidden stone in the trees.

Pleased me kids' schools have signed up to #smartphonefreechildhood.

I hope others follow suit: www.smartphonefreechildhood.org?ref=dispatch...

And if we're clear that they're harmful to kids why not adults? I've been #smartphonefree for 10 months and never felt better
Smartphone Free Childhood
We’re united for childhood: Join the growing movement of parents who believe childhood’s too short to be spent on a smartphone.
