Being able to walk for groceries, coffee and a chat on the way home changes the shape of a day. Before you fall for a view, spend a morning on foot: time the walk to the pharmacy, find the benches, and notice how many people say hello.
A quick checklist
- Groceries, pharmacy and a clinic within an easy walk
- Sidewalks that are cleared in winter
- Somewhere to sit along the way
- A reason to leave the house every day
