The Benefits of Going for a Walk

 I thought I'd go and have a look at the new bookshelf in the bus shelter yesterday afternoon.

It's already full of books, but I wasn't tempted by any of them.

However, a few doors along, someone was selling surplus garden produce from the wall in front of their house, and I picked up a bag of pears and another of cherry tomatoes (they had a jar for the money).

Then I went along Forest Road to take the path behind the school back to the centre of town.  There's an apple tree growing on the verge, loaded with apples, and I filled up my bag with windfalls that I'm going to stew tonight.

I hadn't intended to come home with a bag full of fruit and vegetables, but it was a very nice side effect of going for a walk.
