On your doorstop

Sometimes I forget that despite working in a town that I may not exactly love, on an employment park nestled between the uninspiring town centre and a chemical works, there are perks.

Corporate membership of the gym next door, easy reach of one of the best second hand book shops I've ever come across and nestled in the middle of what many mistake for a giant roundabout, a hidden lake.

It's easy to let yet another week go by when you're just too busy to take a lunchtime stroll. The other day I made the effort though and it reminded me that I need to do it more often.
