Long and Winding Road

Mission Shopping (as I was taught during Geography lessons, many years ago) is the modern way of shopping, i.e. drive to supermarket, and buy the entire store, so it lasts you a few weeks… Now, I do kind of do this, but I spend ?80 say every few weeks, and then just need bread and milk every few days. My freezer isnt big enough to freeze a months worth… Thus my mission shopping is the gettign to supermarket to pick up these frequent little things.

Obviously this is easy by car. But currently I dont have this available (due to little bro using it to and from work). Now, its no problem to walk to The Store Formerly Known as Safeways as that takes an hour for a round trip. But the store in question is now turning into a Morrisons, and has been closed for much of this week.

This left me with Sainsbury being my nearest supermarket. So Off I went, over an hour on the way there, and just under on the way back. Not that I was 100% sure of the route I was taking….

But why? and why didnt I go to the newsagent, who would probably have had some bread and milk, or other? Well, A walk does me good, the whole keep fit thing. And a walk does me good, as I can listen to the radio (via my phone) and put my brain in neutral. And the latter is especially nice for a couple of hours peace.
