Pilgrims’ Progress

“Didn’t people use horse and carts just in the olden days?” one of the children enquired one day. So we dragged out Mama’s and Dadda’s Poland photos of us-n-horse-n-cart from the early nineties and assured them this was NOT the olden days, even though the kids weren’t born yet and we did look considerably younger (hmmmm is there a correlation????)

We have always had only one vehicle - a conscious, sometimes inconvenient, decision.
I had read somewhere at some stage (I’m not big on details, sorry) that only a very small percentage of the world’s population have access to a private vehicle other than a bicycle.
Deciding to not purchase a second car, was one small way I could choose to “sacrifice” in order to free up money to help others.
And it would seem I had somehow thought the children would understand my reasonings without explanation. But what an unrealsitic expectation - after all, they don’t know many families other than ours that only have one vehicle. They don’t know many Dads who ride their bicycles to work. Their experience of the world is that *most* people drive everywhere, oftentimes one family arriving in two different cars!

So we’re going to look for *how* the world moves around.
We invite you to join us for the ride on this page.
