“Bacon roll and a quick cup of tea before back to work.”

“I just come here with my headphones and I meditate a little bit or just do some breathing exercises.”

“There’s very little noise, it’s peaceful. If it’s five, ten minutes, sometimes that five or ten minutes is enough to recharge you for the rest of the day.”

“I come here sometimes when I’m on my break. Because you’re that step removed from the ward, you can sort of gather your thoughts a bit more.”

“I’d always noticed it as an interesting place to walk through because of the steam that rises from the pathway, and it always made me think of a New York sort of sidewalk.”

“You can almost pretend that you’re sitting in a field.”

“I’ve always thought myself personally that I’m reborn every spring. More so working the job I do because it’s seasonal and spring’s always like rebirth and regeneration.”

“I can come and be my own person up here. Just take five minutes time out just to chill, rest and go back.”

“Even when it’s cold in the winter, I make sure I’m wrapped up in my coat and got my gloves on.”
