Looking at nice stuff is one reason I walk.
Another is to balance out the eating I also like to do.
Another is that I like to say ‘hello’ to people. When I feel that people care about each other, it helps dispel a sad thought I sometimes get, which is that the government is complicit in a collapse of community feeling. It sometimes feels as if the only people who still care about life as a community are people of faith, and we’re not always all that great about practising what we preach.
