At work our team away days are half work and half play. As there was nothing we needed to work on that couldn't be done in the hourly fortnightly meeting, it was decided we would have half a day's play.
Although I really, really could have done with Tuesday afternoon at my computer trying to catch up on the backlog, I did enjoy our afternoon at the Skip Garden near Kings Cross.
We had a very nice vegetarian curry lunch followed by a session with Rachel de Thample based on her book "Tonics & teas". As well as chat and information, a chance to sample drinks, vegan cake and truffles, we made a flavoured vinegar (I made a sage, rosemary and thyme-flavoured one, all the herbs gathered from the Skip Garden) and a tea to drink (I did a basic elderflower and lemon but colleagues were making zen tea and women's balance tea amongst others). We also each had a copy of her book to take home.
I would recommend Rachel's book and attending any workshop of hers you can get to.
