About the Cows

A few years ago I was browsing the website of expert “self-bosser” Valerie Young. She was describing the benefits of working from home; amongst other things, she delighted in the view of cows she had from her window.

This image struck a chord with me. I had never liked the daily commute to an office: I used to feel like I was returning to prison after a weekend release for good behaviour! I realised I wanted to live a more independent life, with greater freedom to choose what I did each day. When the time came to name my own business, Cows from my window seemed the natural choice.

I currently live in Beijing, and look out on a traditional Chinese courtyard - complete with grey sloping roof tiles and draping vines. However when I think of what my new life means to me, the feeling of freedom that cow field evokes still comes to mind.
