The hideaway office

Starbucks, HolmbushI have a “dirty secret” office. And it’s a Starbucks.

Up at the top end of Shoreham by Sea, there’s an out of town retail area with an M&S, a Tesco’s – and a Next. And in that Next, there’s a Starbucks. I like to go there when I need some brain space. Becasue it’s hidden away in a shop and only really accessible by car, it feels far more hidden away than the avargae coffee shop on the high street. It create an odd, nest-like, hidden ambiance that I rather like for certain writing and thinking tasks.

I wasn’t there looking for Next’s blogger fashion. Honest.
