Writers Retreat, France (03/06/2014 - 08/06/2014)

We arrived in Limoges at 9.30am and collected by David & Michelle at 10.00am. The ride back to the Lambert's house took approximately an hour and a half. I slept for most of the journey (oops), but I managed to catch a few drowsy-eyed glimpses of beautiful French landscapes. We spent the day exploring the house and surrounding areas as the week flew by. Most of the time was spent relaxing in the sun beside the picturesque countryside house. 

On the second day, Daniel, Aaron, Jess and I ventured out to the surrounding areas where we found various fields and ponds along the way.

Most days I spent writing inside the house in my shared room or in the garden seeking inspiration from the warm countryside air and greenery that surrounded. 

On Thursday we travelled to a market, and rested in a coffee shop before heading to a restaurant for lunch. The food was delicious and we all sat outside around a table soaking up the sun. That evening I felt a flush of sunstroke and went to bed early whilst everyone workshopped their writing in the lounge downstairs. 

I perked up the next morning and read out my story in the worshop session on the last day of the retreat. I'd like to thank the Lambert's hospitality and culinary divinity. I had a great week at Le Verger, relaxing in the sun, with charismatic company and plenty of wine!
