Tart Retreat in 2024

This post is solely about the retreat I am planning for May next year. It is only open to newsletter subscribers so if you are a blog subscriber only then pop over to the website home page and sign up for newsletters to be eligible.

I am repeating here the content sent as a recent newsletter, and there is a copy of the application form below (retreat-may-2024.docx) to download and complete, if you would like to participate.  It sets out the cost per attendee and the payment schedule. 

I may not be able to respond to individual enquiries between now and 20th September when applications close. I don't want it to be based on a 'first come first served' basis as not everyone has the access or inclination to be online every day. So all applications will be considered together, regardless of date received. 

If you are unable to save and complete the application form online, please print it off, fill it in and send me a photograph or scan of it. I cannot consider applications in any other style.

In the event that you need to cancel, fees will not be refundable unless I am able to find a suitable new participant to take your place.

OK, that's the serious stuff out of the way. I hope you love the idea of a few days' gentle stitching in lovely surroundings in early May and would like to join me at the farmhouse!

Happy post day!
My new @thosejoestoes slippers kit in jolly festive red has just arrived
Not too taxing - may be able to stitch them and drink a cheeky port at the same time…what could possibly go wrong?🤔
🌞🐾
A gentle morning walk with Bruce as the sun rose on the second shortest day of the year. Blissful!
❤️🖤🤍
Just ordered quilt wadding and bendy safety pins…
The assembling/binding of this small ‘quilt of many winters’ is imminent -ish

I first posted pics of my pretty gifted flowers on 5th November. 
Yesterday was shed-all-the-petals day - such beauty in decay.

Looking forward to spending many contented hours here this winter.
Books, knitting, stitching, too much coffee, a big black dog frequently blocking the heat.

Heading home from our mini break today. 
We dodged most of the rain yesterday and rest assured, Bruce fitted in another cafe visit. 
This time to @brew_and_chew_perth - a very dog friendly cafe which happens to do excellent toasties. And alcohol-free mulled wine which I had to boost the seasonal spirit🍷🤗

My neglected sweater is getting a little love this evening.
Second sleeve half done so the end is in sight.
