Who would have thought at the July writing retreat as we sat writing on the river bank and in the river bed that The Peel would be at risk of flooding just weeks later. The river didn't break its banks like it did in January, but it was certainly swollen with water.
Thank you so much to our July retreat participants. Nicola and I had a wonderful weekend of writing, and enjoyed seeing familiar faces and meeting new writers. We'd also like to thank our special guests, historian Geoff Cummins and musician Toni Swain, who provided the stimulus for two of our six writing exercises. We have started to post some of the work from the weekend on the website (just click on writers' work). Enjoy.
Another popular writing stimulus was the graffiti knitting tree in Captain Cook Park. Georgie, Vicki and Natasha even took up needles and added to the tree. Fleur sent me a colourful, variegated wool swatch in the post today and I look forward to adding it when the sun comes out.
