What You Say:
The time I spent at Misse in Spring 2011 was one of the most enjoyable and productive experiences I have had as a writer. I was incredibly well looked after on my retreat – eating, drinking and writing in a very healthy balance. The countryside around Misse is beautiful, and Wayne and Aaron's house is an inspiring place to work and think. I spent many happy hours in the library, happily distracted by Graham Greene, Virginia Woolf, John Cheever and others. I was also lucky enough to spend time in the garden in the late March sunshine.

Arrived home from Venice on Friday morning. Five weeks away, and I'm telling everyone that the best was first: Misse! Once again many thanks.
Misse is definitely on my travel agenda for next year, so please let me know of any courses/writing retreats planned for Autumn 2011.

Writing was intense and challenging, but there was ALWAYS time to eat. It was what came between the dashes - the aside from our writing - that was in some way connected with the main course.
If this story could be told through punctuation, the Circle of Misse would be an exclamation mark!
