If you’re working in Hursley, sat a couple of centimeters in front of your screen, coding away all day, where do you go for a break? Well, Hursley has a Japanese garden, with a fish pond, fountain, trees and bits of modern art. It’s a cool place to get away from the technology and a bit of peace and quiet.
Here’s a quick video clip of the garden.

I am the same as you. I sit infront of a screen all day long coding in various different languages normally in the hands of Microsoft. In the evenings I spend my time looking after my pond, enjoying a beer or two. Its the most enjoying hobby I have ever had and it really helps me get over a frustrating day sat in front of a computer.
Its getting close to winter here in England. My pond plants are begining to “retreat”. I really wish it looked like your pond. I have written a small piece about yearly pond maintainance I my web site. I thought you might find it useful.
