Weekday Inspiration | Breaks

Breaks. So key. A break from anything is always an interesting experience, and often pretty beneficial.

For the past few months, I've been working at an agency in Clerkenwell and today is my first day of a break from work. I start at my next agency in a couple weeks but, until then, I'm footloose and fancy. In a few days time I'll be in Ontario! That in itself is a break. Today is all about breaks. "Them the breaks" as some people say.

On the topic of breaks, I love filling my day with mini-breaks. Whether it's a break from my computer screen to make a tea, or a break from my work day to take a stroll outside. These breaks have given me many necessary bursts of inspiration, refreshment, and re-calibration so I can get back to my original task in much better shape than when I left.

Here are some snaps from my lunch break / walks over the past few weeks:

Humpday Post | Mid Afternoon Jaunt

Happy Humpday!

This afternoon the weather was a balmy 24 degrees, a little humid and sort of overcast, but overall really lovely and, above else, no rain.

I stumbled upon a little park called The Calthorpe Project, hidden off a main road in North Clerkenwell/Islington near my office. There's a cafe that uses vegetables grown in the park, and they take unused food to create compost to go back into the garden. Full circle and very sustainable.

There are ping pong tables (paddle and balls available for use), tons of little parks and play equipment, and a shop with lots of little herbs, flowers and plants available to buy. There were a number of beautiful mosaics on the tiles, and tons of fun being had. I even saw a cat chasing a mouse - which struck me as incredibly British but maybe I'm just being weird...

Here are some shots from today:
