Mucky Hands
by E, Yorkshire

"I took my children out to the gross park at 08:30 this morning. It's gross because the swings are all broken and there is rubbish everywhere. I chose that time because that was when I thought no children would be around. I chose that park because it's gross and no one goes there. It was nice, we played for an hour.
​
On our walk back there was a man with a dog who we normally stop and stroke. He saw us coming and walked away, keeping his 2-metre distance. No dog stroking today. Both children cried. The first thing we did when we walked through the door was wash our hands for 20 seconds each.
​
We miss dog stroking and mucky hands."
