Walking: the Oxford Canal to Jericho

white_hartWe only managed a short* walk today, down the canal to Jericho where we had brunch at the Jericho Café** and then went to the Sunday afternoon vintage film screening at the Picturehouse.
It was a greyish, muggy morning, and the canal was looking quite muddy (possibly because of recent dredging activity), but the banks were green and full of flowers and there were ducklings, so although it was a short walk it was a pleasant one, and as it was T's first walk in new boots it was probably best to start small.
*5.08 miles, according to Runkeeper. Short by our current standards, at any rate, though it's not that many years since we would have thought that was quite a long walk despite thinking of ourselves as people who generally liked a walk even if we didn't get out for one very often...
**Which was nice, but I do think if you're going to charge £6.95 for avocado toast you could give people two bits of toast, and not just one bit cut in two. Perhaps this is why eating avocado toast is stopping Millenials from being able to afford houses.
