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!

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.

I think little circulars are an invention of the 👿 - give me dpns any day.

Happy colours in this knit are Hubble Bubble by @ripplescraftsyarn Helen 🤗

I got home a little while ago to find the fire lit. 
I hunkered down with my back to it. 
Just to warm up, you understand.
And then there was a nose resting on my leg.
…
Do I have to get on with some work now or should I stay right here for the foreseeable?
