Did you often go outside to have a walk when you were a child?
Yes, I used to go outside a lot as a child. I played in the street and in the park near our house. My parents also took us for walks at the weekend.
Quite often. As a child I was outdoors almost every day — walking to school, exploring the local park with friends, or going on family walks at the weekend. We weren’t supervised all the time, so there was a genuine sense of freedom to roam around and make little adventures out of ordinary streets and fields.
