It’s odd – I used to dislike the Flashes just on the outskirts of Northwich – I saw them as a flat, featureless expanse of water & manmade pathways – a poor attempt at landscaping over a industrial wasteland. It’s now one of my favourite places to walk with Daisy. I don’t think it’s just the fact that the trees and plants have all had chance to mature and that Daisy makes almost anywhere fun to go. I think my whole outlook and mood has changed since leaving the corporate world and I am able to appreciate much simpler things (sounds a bit sickly and cliche ridden but it’s so true). Instead of my head being full of deadlines and endless pages of red emails and constantly having too many plates in the air – or shattered on the floor, my mind is now free to enjoy the scenery and the fresh air, often with the result that I come up with my best ideas to grow my own business, whilst I am out walking.
