I'm on a fortnight's holiday now! Hurrah! Could I walk every day for two weeks? Alongside all the other things I have to do - five years' worth of shredding, lots of household dust to shift, a chair to re-upholster - the list goes on. Well, I'm going to try!
Today I walked from home to the metro, via the Co-op, and then down Grey Street to the bank and back up to Fenwicks, along Northumberland Street to Haymarket. Then metro to West Jesmond, walk to St Georges church hall for a lovely afternoon of circle dancing. Homeward bound, the walk was to the metro and then home. On the way I met four people I knew, two of them I wouldn't have bumped into without the walk.
The walking and the holiday mood helped me to appreciate the blue sky, strong wind, early crocuses, amazing architecture in Graingertown. It's been good, and not a walking pole or laminated ordnance survey map in sight. This is walking as I remember it.
