Walking: the Oxford Canal to Jericho
I took today off work to round out my break (when you have 41 days leave a year, including bank holidays, and pretty much can't take leave at all for over half the year, adding extra days to breaks becomes a way of life; I'm trying to avoid having to fit a month's worth of leave into the three months from July to September) and as it was a nice day we decided to walk into town via the canal towpath and go to the cinema.
The canal runs very close to our house and we quite often walk into town that way, though this is the first time since last autumn. It's just under five and a half miles to the Picturehouse in Jericho and very pleasant on a sunny day; it feels quite rural for most of the way, and today there were lots of daffodils along the banks, hedges and willows just coming into leaf, and several donkeys in the field just past the A34 bridge where there is always at least one donkey.
