    One disadvantage of living near the top of a hill is that the walk home is always upwards. A lot of walking to write a few letters on a piece of paper, but I did get to see some nice gardens on the way - one place in particular had a stunning native garden. I also got to pat a dog (a young excitable Husky, which I expect will be trouble in the future as the owner did not seem to have any idea how to deal with it, unfortunately).

      We live in the top of a hill too.

      I walked to vote this morning. The rest of the household drove. They bet me there and back by 30 seconds.

      The walk back uphill was very tiring because they didn’t have Democracy Sausages at the Polling Station.

        My walk was about 20 mins each way, so driving definitely would have been quicker. It would be half the time if I could walk direct, but there is a big sports complex and a school in the way I have to walk around.
