homeworking essentials - a good local coffee shopIf you’ve browsed this site you’ll know I’m always banging on about getting out regularly when you work from home, and this is one instance where I’m very happy to take my own advice.  Having moved from rural Cornwall where I had to drive everywhere, to a small town where all the facilities are within a few minutes walk, I’m particularly enjoying having a good coffee shop close to hand.

I’m not so sure whether the coffee shop is as delighted to have me and my friend – last time we were there for two and a half hours over two drinks each and a shared piece of cake, and only shifted when A rang my mobile, wondering where I’d got to.  This time it was almost two hours with only the shared cake and a coffee each.  At least our visits were a month apart and we are both regular customers outside our chatathons.  There’s nothing quite as talkative as a homeworker unchained from the desk for the afternoon.
