Good things about walking: fitness, relaxation, cheapness.
Bad things: weather, shopping bags, safety.
I walked into the town to see my friend Steff. On the way in I enjoyed horizontal rain and sleet, being sprayed with water by passing motorists and nearly being run over by a white van man. On the way back I enjoyed a lovely sunset and being able to look at buildings, such as the City Of God Church on Holborn Street with its elegant classical dome.
Driving is highly addictive in our instantaneous culture, but the slow pace is the thing when you have time.
