So, do you go outside on your lunch break?

Maybe you sit on the same bench every day or go for a walk, sit in a park or just on the steps of a fountain in the city centre. It is good to get outside isn't it? I used to work in Canary Wharf and loved going to Jubilee Park (more about that clever little park later - building a park directly on top of a large underground train station, with a substantial amount of water to drown out the sounds of air conditioning units from the skyscrapers surrounding it was not an easy task). Oh okay, I've started so...

Anyway, have a think about that the next time you just want to escape from the office. Every little part of the outdoor world is pretty important and without it being well-designed, I believe it would have a significant effect on our well being. Now, someone just needs to tell me how to have time for a proper lunch break...
