I like the look of the place. You seem to be blending activities and quiet moments and coming up with some characteristically frank and thoughtful writing. Avoid those male egos! x

An open soul sharing shards of truth. And yet gentle in the sharing.

I'm only sane when no one else is around.

What a brilliant line!

My fear of a retreat is that I would have to talk to too many people! I hope by the end of your week you’ve found your groove, Cherry. This is fab!

It’s great. Everything - even a retreat - has a soggy middle.

I'd be scared stiff of not coming up with anything to write about. Or not knowing what to say when asked questions. And just sit there like a twit, or a goldfish. And they might ask me to writing exercises! OMG! noooooo! You're so brave!!!!!

The second time - in 2017 - I went home and hung up my pen - cowed by all those better - brighter - lighter - less powder-kegged and much more fluent, confident and erudite than I.

The line’s quite fine between that’s nice - and crawl away and die.
