However, we're very fortunate that some aspects of our work can be done anywhere, with a laptop and occasional access to the internet. We're also very fortunate that our bosses have no interest in the 'bums on seats' model of working, and are quite happy for us to be anywhere we like, as long as we get things done.
And so last week we booked ourselves into a youth hostel, and spent three days doing nothing but writing, occasionally surfacing to compare progress over a cuppa, and spending our evenings making food and wandering the local lanes.
We're back to reality again now, although with a four day long weekend we're being broken in gently. I'll have house and garden progress to report in the coming days...
