Take a blossom break at work, National Trust urges, as spring warms UK

Charity's poll finds 80% feel more positive after spending breaks outside, but only 10% do so

Employees are being urged to step outside to take time to observe one of the wonders of the natural world: the fleeting but lovely spring blossom season.

Research commissioned by the National Trust, which operates in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, shows that while almost all those polled said they felt better if they took breaks in nature, only one in 10 did so.
