One of the things I did like about working in London was the ability to find a green haven somewhere close by. Parks and gardens that oxygenate the city and provide a cool haven for workers at lunchtime. I was struck today how little green space there actually is in central Wellington. One of my favourite spots is the gardens in front of Parliament. I only had ten minutes to enjoy it but the canopies of these trees gave welcome shade from the Indian summer sun. I could have laid down and taken a nap but that would have been rude to the people I had appointments with this afternoon. Maybe next time I’ll just invite them to meet me there.
