There?s nothing like getting value for money, and the joy of knowing you will have somewhere to sit however crowded the train. On most trains our two daughters can walk up and down the corridors and enjoy trips to the buffet. Some train services even provide crayons for kids. Our eldest daughter actually learnt to crawl on the train. If you book a cottage or a B&B in advance and shop around, it?s no more expensive than a foreign hotel. And although it rains, it has never spoilt our holiday: wet walks, board games, table tennis or just having the time to listen to raindrops can be fun. There are so many things to do at home. Our children have had great holidays swimming in Lake Coniston, exploring ruined abbeys in Yorkshire and picnicking in beautiful valleys. Staying in the UK is great for your kids? knowledge of history, too. Europe?s greatest wilderness is in the Scottish Highlands. A couple of years ago, we took the sleeper to Inverness, and travelled on (in a rented car and then in two boats) to the island of Taransay ? where, on a summer day, it looked like the South Pacific and we had a beach of beautiful white sand all to ourselves.? This is an extract from Save Cash and Save the Planet. Find out more ? see our books about holidaying in the UK, ethical tourism and ideas for getting away from it all ? with traffic-free cycle trails and wildlife walks. 5.1. According to Peter Major, train travellers are friendly to the environment. TRUE FALSE

When Reggie Love and Mark returned to the hospital there were reporters everywhere. ?Ms Love, Ms Love,? they called. ?Just a few questions, please.? She took Mark?s hand and walked faster. ?Is it true your client is refusing to speak to the FBI? Is it true he knows more than he wants to say? Did Mark talk to Jerome Clifford before he died?? Reggie said quickly to Mark, ?Don?t look at them and don?t say a word.? In room 943 Ricky was sitting on the end of the bed. Dr Greenway told Mark to sit next to him and hold his hand. ?Ricky,? he said, ?I would like to talk about the other day when you and Mark were hiding in the trees.? ?It?s okay, Ricky, ? said Mark. ?He knows we were smoking. Mom?s not angry with us.? ?Ricky, do you remember seeing the big, black car?? said Dr Greenway. ?Yes,? said Ricky quietly. ?What did the big black car do, Ricky?? Ricky shut his eyes tightly, put his head on Mark?s knee and his thumb went into his mouth. He didn?t speak another word for twenty-four hours. Mark was tired, so when Ricky was asleep again, they left the hospital in Reggie?s sports car. It was old, but Reggie liked to drive fast, and that was fine with Mark. Mark watched the mirror closely to see if anyone was following them. ?You think that Mom and Ricky are safe?? he asked. ?Yes. The hospital promised to keep guards at the door. Now I wonder what Momma Love is giving us for dinner?? Momma Love was Reggie?s mother. She frequently had young guests to dinner. Most of Reggie?s work was with children. Some had family problems, some had drug problems and some had already started a life of crime. Reggie often decided that they needed good food. ?Momma Love?s cooking is the best,? she told Mark. And it was. Everything was fresh and smelled perfect. They spent an hour at the table, talking and eating. After dinner Momma Love showed Mark some photographs. ?Reggie?s children,? she said. ?I never see them now. Their father took them and spoiled them. Reggie felt angry at first, but she?s got a new life now and tries not to think about it.? Mark?s bed was comfortable and he fell asleep quickly, but around two o?clock he woke up and found himself worrying about Mom and Ricky. Why was he there? His place was with them, at the hospital. He got up and stood at the window, thinking about the past two days. It had all started on Monday, after school. Now he had missed two days of school. When would it all end? As Mark looked into the dark night he suddenly noticed a small red light. A cigarette. Someone was out there, in the street, smoking a cigarette. Though he couldn?t be seen, Mark held his breath. Someone was watching the house.
6.1. Reggie Love wanted Mark to tell the reporters everything. allowed Mark to answer just one question. did not let Mark speak to the reporters. decided to tell the reporters the truth.
