Missing? Did you get lost?

I haven't gone missing, or have gotten lost yet!! Perhaps another part of society has because I haven't really seen a part of it..... 

Some of the things I've noticed that there are many kids who are very independent from a young age. Just the other day I saw two girls, dress in school uniforms,  get on the Tube by themselves and sat at two different spots and kept to themselves. They couldn't have been older than 10 years of age as well. The other day we went to the V&A Children's Museum, and I saw young kids interacting with their parent (or care giver) during the "hands" on part of the museum, or a group of kids interacting with the book that was being read to them. 

During the week you don't see as many kids out and about on the streets of Camden Town. But on the weekend you can see them on the backs of bikes, in a child's seat, passed out from (my guess) a fun day with daddy. Or you see them in strollers (which by the way are seriously nice!!!) either asleep or up and looking out at the world with wondrous eyes. On the Tube, yesterday on my way to the V&A Museum, I met a little girl - Aireanna - she was three years of age, and talking up a storm about anything and everything. I asked her if she was excited to be starting school soon and she clearly said, "Yes." She wasn't alone, she was with her mom and dad. I also see hundreds of kids on their scooters... sometimes with no parent in sight. Just cruising along on this two wheeled contraption, sometimes even eating something.

Maybe the one part of society has been MIA is the the older folk (older as in 80-90s), and the more obviously handicapped from all generations. I have seen a few people in wheelchairs, but they looked pretty interactive with their surroundings and all together with it. I'm talking about the full on quadriplegic, or someone who has CP. I did see a little boy who was Autistic a few days ago on the tube with his parents, assuming he was. He was very well mannered, but showed the classic signs of Autism. I've also noticed that there isn't much accessible places that would be invited for people who have a disability of some kind. Even the people I've seen in wheelchairs have had limitations on where they can go or get too. 

Homeless people are everywhere.... and they all seem to have dogs (of some sort).
