There and back again

I've just walked to a friend's house and back again.  A short walk (ten minutes each way) but I know that before this new year's resolution the temptation would have been to think 'I don't want to walk past pubs on a Saturday night, and I don't want to go out in the cold - I'll take the car'.  Tonight I wrapped up warmly, crossed the road to avoid the pubs and enjoyed a crisp, safe evening walk and all the righteous feelings that go with that (I must admit I didn't take a bag with me though).  So that's my little contribution to reclaiming the streets!
