Tea with old friends

I set out today in inappropriate footwear (though the sandals were very appropriate for the weather) with the aim that I couldn't walk fast and keep them on my feet. I was due to meet an old friend in town for tea so I took a gentle stroll down the canal. By the time I'd met her, we'd wandered, drank tea, wandered some more, gone down a dead end and back and got home, I'd done about 4 miles. It was gloriously sunny and it was great to be out.
