When I separated from my children’s mum, I moved to a suburb of Leeds as this was in my price range for local rent, near my children. However, as I didn’t drive and had a job working at Leeds Bradford airport with early starts as early as 3am for check in of passengers, I had to walk as there was no public transport until around 5am. It was around 5 miles away from where I lived and I was not in a financial situation where I could afford taxis everyday. I would literally leave home at 12am to be there for 3am. It was no fun in heavy rain though, but I did it, as I had to make money to see my children and keep a roof over my head. I eventually got a better job after months of walking and getting blisters.
You have my upmost respect Ben!
Thank you Lee
