I love working from home but I’m about 30-45 minutes out of central London and friends and family often ask me why I don’t want to go into an office in town for the buzz, it must be difficult working at home with a baby running round, etc.

I honestly wouldn’t give up working from home for triple my salary. The flexibility to come and go as I please, not losing time to a commute, watching the kid grow up. All priceless to me.

However, I have enough bedrooms to use one as an office, a garden I can work in during summer. I can understand if I had to work at the kitchen table with the family making noise around me I would be yearning to go in to the office.

I stayed in a hotel at Blackfriars at the start of the week. A supplier took me out for drinks, we went to the Cheshire Cheese, it was empty. And closed early.

Riding around was an interesting experience, London isn’t too bad at the moment with very few people there, certainly different to pre covid though
