That’s what I’ll be doing when(if?) the sun comes out here in the UK!

I quite like the idea of sitting and writing in a park – thanks for the video!

The audio is off but you get the picture.

I’ve actually got broadband on my mobile meaning that I can work pretty much anywhere now.

I’m looking forward to the summer and sitting in the garden and maybe even having a cold beer too!

James – my friend has a keyring that actually beeps when he goes into a free wifi area. And yes he is a computer geek!!

I should mention that the Free WiFi is provided through t-Mobile which my friend uses so they gave me their access codes – I’m not sure if it’s free all over the country – but it’s worth checking before you visit.

I know that some Starbucks in London offer Wi-Fi to everyone. The other thing to check out is one of those free hotspots sites which tell you locations all over the UK where you can get access to Wifi for free!

I’ve worked from the home for the past year. It does get a tad boring and I want to some how change things round this year. Have you thought about getting a 3g USB modem for your laptop? Take broadband with you where-ever you go, and literally be able to work almost anywhere. That could be an interesting way of working…

Let us know where you end up and how it goes.

I wonder where you’ll end up first Lee? Sitting in a Starbucks, or watching Manchester United and typing away…

That’s tremendous advice and I’d like to thank you for it.

I’m trying to build in one day a week where I meet other marketers and potential business partners, and this is always a nice break from the office.

It’s an excellent point about reading and writing in somewhere like a coffee shop. I’m certainly going to start doing this, and I just feel that it will leave me feeling a tad fresher at times.

Thanks for the input!

Hi James

I didn’t know Starbucks has free Wi-Fi so I’ll have to check that out.

I must have a deep running mean streak as I quite like the idea of sitting in a warm coffee house while thinking of my friends go to work in the cold.

I’m joking of course, but I’ll certainly give this a bash.

Hi Brendan

Sadly the beach isn’t an option for me right now

I’m looking out of the window and it’s raining. Yesterday it was raining. In fact, I cann’t remember a time when it didn’t rain here!

Telling a rain soaked Mancunian to go to the beach in January is like telling someone in the tropics to build a snowman!

If I didn’t have a launch coming up I could just jump in a plane I guess, but I’d certainly need to fly for sometime to find a beach warm enough to sit on.

I’ve never been to Australia but I’d love to go. Once I have my systems set up a bit better then I’m certainly going to visit, and then I can make my UK subscribers feel depressed by telling them I’m on the warm beach.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

I am currently holidaying on the Sunshine Coast (Australia) with my trusty laptop and I can assure you that changing the scenery is truly an effective way of recharging the batteries..

Brendan.

I know exactly what you mean about getting sick of the whole bedroom-office, although it’s great not to have to get in the car for an hour every morning, it’s nice to have a change of scenery once in a while.

My favourite option is just heading down to my local Starbucks and chilling out there. They even have free wi-fi which is a bonus. Sometimes the change of scenery does actually aid productivity, although I do find myself getting distracted when old university friends show up!
