A stroll to the shops

Every so often I need to stock up on groceries. Now, I have a choice between the big two: Tesco or Sainsbury's.

Tesco is a ten minute walk, I cross six or seven busy streets, pass two train stations, a pub the Evening Standard recommends for acquiring illicit firearms and a housing estate which has hosted at least two grusome murders in the last couple of years.

Sainsbury's is a twenty minute walk. I cross my road into a little park and then I walk along the River Pool and emerge at the back of a Sainsbury's superstore. No traffic, no noise, some kids sitting on the river bank, joggers, old people strolling, bike riders, wood pigeons, herons, ducks... I choose the twenty minute walk.

Here's some photos.
