Bluebell Breaks

by Alan Cole · Wednesday, April 29th, 2026

I don’t always get out for a walk at lunchtime, sometimes I don’t stop at all, but when I do, it feels worth it.

With so little rain lately, the woodland paths have dried out enough to wander without worrying about ruining my shoes or traipsing mud back into the office. And with the bluebells already putting on a show this year, it doesn’t take much convincing to step away from the desk, even if only for ten minutes.

I can’t really complain. Working from home, I can be at the beach and back in under five minutes. In the office, the bluebells are just as close. Either way, there’s always something to encourage me out for some fresh air and a chance to have a break.
