A Summer's School Pick-Up!

Sutton: A Typical Summer School Pick-Up! (20.8.2026)

School Pick-Up – 19.6.2026 – 27 Degress

We pick-up our children from school all year long – Winter, Spring, Summer, and Winter! On this day – Friday June 19th, 2026 – the weather is hot (27 degrees Celsius). The heat has come early this year (the middle of May reached 32 degrees). Of course, we live in South-West Greater London (Sutton & Cheam) – which used to be East Surrey until 1965. The place is countryfied and full of trees and parks – the trees are in the streets – planted down the side of the pavements (my dad said – when he visited in 2000 – that this is “posh”). Sutton used to be terribly wealthy in all areas, but now is just a place that well-off people like to live despite the economy completely collapsing). Obviously, I am here just by accident. I ended-up here more or less by accident due to a relationship, etc. Still, we are where we are and have to make the most of it. The schools are good and we are providing the best education we can for our two daughters. This is my partner “Gee” (left) walking with “Kai-Lin” (right) – I am the rear-guard holding the ‘phone. Earlier that day, me and Gee had attended a School Assembly – within which all the children demonstrated to their parents what they had laerned over the last academic year (September-July).
