When your Departmental Manager suggests the entire team has lunch at the on site four star Hotel it really would be rude to refuse, so today we closed the office early and wandered up the hill to enjoy an extended lunch-break.
A loose top and yoga pants proved to be the ideal outfit for such an event as it turned out. I’ve been vegetarian for well over 30 years now so I opted to start with the pumpkin and red pepper soup with herb oil, followed by roasted root vegetable moussaka, lentils, spinach and tomato gnocchi. Dessert was a no-brainer as one of the choices was chocolate soufflĂ© with toffee sauce.
Our usual one hour break had turned into well over two by the time we’d digested the last of the puddings, and an afternoon nap would’ve been in order if it wasn’t for the fact we all had things to do, but it really was nice to spend quality time with co-workers away from the working environment. The job can seem a little overwhelming at times but having these treats every now and again really does wonders to boost team morale.
