Back to work feeling

Well it's back to work for me this week and I can't say it is filling me with excitement!  So far it has not been too bad as yesterday our new team leader started and wanted to talk to us (about everything under the sun apart from work really), and in the afternoon wanted a  team outing to Hilliers Arboretum in Hampshire. All very nice, but I was over two hours late home.  Today we had a whole service training day, again out of the office in another part of Hampshire - a good 60 or 70 mile round trip.   Which meant making special arrangements for my children to get to school and back.  Normal day tomorrow and Thursday then another team day on Friday all day.

Not sure if it is just going back to work but all my enthusiasm for so many things has just waned. It is difficult to get back into the swing of things, worrying about my daughter, not wanting to be separated from her and work is the last thing on my mind!  Just want to hibernate and shut the world out at the moment and wake up in the spring.

  1. Hello! I am envious of your trip to Hilliers but understand work trips are often inconvenient. I hope you got to see some nice trees?

    I am with you, ready for hibernation!

  2. Hello! Yes the trees were magnificent - especially the eucalyptus and the birches with papery bark, sooo beautiful! The long herbaceous borders were wonderful and there were some amazing pieces of sculpture amongst the plants. The gunnera was particularly striking! I took a few photos with my iphone but they are not that great, but might put a couple up later! x
