Canal Walk

A pretty nice weather for a Friday, "nice weather" here means there is sunlight in the day. Shi Wei called in the afternoon and suggested to have a walk. A new territory for me to discover, called Canal, a little down the road from Dunkirk. I was kinda curious what kind of place will it be, as we encounter more and more bird animals.

Down the pathway to the river:

Surprisingly, the scenery there is really great. It's like the ideal retirement place with fresh air, calm water, ducks/geese to feed... The attraction is actually the houses along the river and boats that parked at the side, a very western view, but I like it. Along the walk, there are people cycling, jogging, taking photograph and walking their dog. What a relaxing life.

Canal view, houses and boats:

It's around 30 minutes walk, and we arrive at city centre =.= I didn't know that it connects to the city. Spent a few minutes walking in the town and buy some cheap snacks (sausage roll rocks!). Looking at the watch, it's almost time to rush back for Solid Rock. A great walk, I think the burnt calories are almost equivalent to running for 20 minutes.

Pop out from another side of the city:

"Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens."
-Psalms 68:19

Indeed it's a blessing being able to have some peace in mind. Now, it's a new challenge to calm the storm when stuffs are running in my mind, but I need to learn to rely on the Prince of Peace as well. I have a feeling everyone everywhere is starting to plan for Christmas event, let's pray for wisdom and unity for a great Christmas experience, Amen!
