Spending some time on leave at @Casatomaddi has been such a treat

The setting is truly amazing, peaceful, the perfect place to slow down. And with high-speed broadband, I could still join a meeting outdoors, surrounded by sunshine and fresh air.

A great day of walking around Edinburgh - from climbing Arthur’s Seat to walking around the picturesque Deans Village, and I clocked up almost 40,000 steps.

A great way to reset and get some exercise
