Being able to just take off to the seaside when I feel like it, working wherever I happen to be rather than being chained to a desk in an office, choosing to work for a couple of hours at the weekend to get ahead and deliver early on Monday so I can then spend Monday shopping in empty shops instead of fighting through the crowds on Saturda...
