After many days in the office, it is always a good idea to enrich your life by some poetry and go outside and have a walk in the fresh air, isn't it? Especially when you can spend some time in the woods of Wales with your colleagues from the publishing company…
During the weekend, I attended two poetry events. I liked it, but I have to admit, that the poet inside me is lost (or has never been there) and my inner life is definitely not as rich as I thought. Anyway, after these two events, we had the company meeting in Cardigan. And the last bullet on the list describing our agenda for the meeting said: “The Guide to Successful Mushroom Picking Learning to Survive in the Woods”. After the discussion about more serious things and drinking a couple of mandatory cups of black tea with milk, we all set off for the mushroom-picking adventure as an original teambuilding activity.
We were given an A4 paper with the pictures of both poisonous and edible mushrooms, two baskets and optimistic idea of eating mushrooms as a breakfast. Most of us apparently never picked mushrooms before and it didn't help that some people told us these fabulous stories about various kinds of mushrooms causing death. To tell you the truth, I thought, that this all might be some weird kind of natural selection or just a rough way of firing the employees, in case we pick the wrong ones.
But after all, the mushrooming was awesome. Crossing the small river using the tree was fun and team bonding, walking in the woods refreshing and toasts with mushrooms for breakfast were delicious.
