A few days ago I walked the length of the cannel near(ish) my house for the first time since moving in about five years ago. It’s almost embarrassing to admit that I’ve lived here so long and just not spent very much time at all near the cannel despite it being so accessible and beautiful. But, to be honest, there are a lot of parks near me. Like, two within a one block radius, and another two within five blocks. They’re all also beautiful, and so when it comes to drinking tea outside I usually just wind up somewhere a little closer…
Anyway, all that to say it was a fantastic walk but I was DRENCHED in sweat and so overheated by the time I was heading home. I literally had to walk past a grocery store, so I popped in and just got an ice cold Brisk to chug on the last few blocks of my walk. I barely processed the flavours. I just needed that hit of something cold to hydrate with!
