Throw open the door/s on hot days
When I was a youngster I spent most of my summer holidays toiling in a plant nursery. It was a great place to hone my plant identification skills and indulge my passion for anything with leaves. On a hot day, however, working inside the polythene tunnels where many of the plants were grown on was akin to exercising… in a sauna! Soaring temperatures conspired with high humidity to turn up the sweat. By break time I’d be more than ready to down a pint of water or two and relish the cool of the break room!
