Thunderthighs's just gone off to Newcastle College for his Biology GCSE evening class.
"Shall I pick you up at 8 as usual?"
"Actually Mum, do you mind if I come home on the Metro?"
Not at all son, we've been wanting you to do that since last year.
Another step towards being a grown up.
Mrs Allotment  My son's first independent journey was travelling back from Newcastle College. They gave him the skills and he put them to good use by voting with his feet... he'd go in for registration because he knew he should, then turn around, come home, sit in the house until 4 O'Clock (college time) then start to do his own thing!  Concrete thought process mixed with the beginning of self determination.  Used to amuse me (but not college!)
Bentonbag Thunderthighs has been travelling independently to/from school/college for a few years now but the metro home from evening class has been a step too far so I've been going to pick him up.  The problem wasn't fear of the metro at night, or the dark.   
Not at all.  He'd worked out that with class finishing at 8, then a walk to central station, then the metro, then the walk here he wouldn't be home until after 9.  And he has his bath at 9 so he might be late for it.  God forbid his routine should be altered.

Safely back from the weekend in Chesterfield with Middlesister (who has forgotten her facebook password and isn't bothered).
Phoned home Friday night and asked Thunderthighs whether his father was ok, had he fallen again?
"Not yet."
Ever the optimist!
However all was well on my return.
Bazoukiboy  Not yet??? He has his father’s touch with language
Bentonbag  In so so many ways ....
