Reasons to be cheerful: Part 3

Running a small business isn’t easy at the best of times and let’s face it the last few weeks have not been the best of times.

However, we’re adaptable and resourceful otherwise we wouldn’t be running our own firms and on reflection there’s plenty to be grateful for. Ok, let’s start with the obvious.

1: Journey to work. Four steps into the garden summerhouse. Devoid of the comfortable furniture it’s nevertheless functional and light.

I brought my desk and chair home from office and now have a dedicated space. The kitchen kettle is within easy reach but I’m not under the feet of anyone or constantly disturbed. I am surrounded by birds: mainly sparrows but get the occasional fly past from the neighbourhood geese.

There’s also a family of field mice who are very busy and Mr Frog makes very fleeting appearances.
