You don't often see people walking around here. Between Hale and Moulton (the nearest town about thirty kilometres away on the mainland), there's nothing but small cottages, farmland, heathland and a couple of hills. So islanders don't walk because of that. If they're going to Moulton they tend to take the bus. So the only pedestrians you're likely to see around here are walkers or bird-watchers.
What does "that" refer to?
locals thinking it is odd to walk anywhere.
it being easier for people to take the bus than walk.
people having everything they need on the island.
there being nowhere in particular to walk to from the island.
there being nowhere in particular to walk to from the island.

We were on our way back from the mainland. My older brother, Dominic, had just finished his first year at university in a town 150 km away. Dominic's train was due in at five and he'd asked for a lift back from the station. Now, Dad normally hates being disturbed when he's writing (which is just about all the time), and he also hates having to go anywhere, but despite the typical sighs and moans – why can't he get a taxi? what's wrong with the bus? – I could tell by the sparkle in his eyes that he was really looking forward to seeing Dominic.
What does this suggest about the Dad?
His writing prevents him from doing things he wants to with his family.
His initial reaction to his son's request is different from usual.
His true feelings are easily hidden from his daughter.
His son's arrival is one event he will take time off for.
