Folks, I had a fantastic time at the Milford SF Writers' Workshop. Ten of us gathered to pore over each others' texts and offer practical, firm, and supportive advice. It was wonderful: I'm so glad I decided to go along, and I can't recommend it highly enough. I was given good advice on a short piece which I've now sent out, and gained considerable confidence in my novel. And it was a privilege to read the work that others were producing. Terrific stuff there.

My picture gallery is here: the first lot include the view from my bedroom window, and views from around the grounds of the centre, heading down to the lake. I spent the mornings reading at that window and pottering around those grounds. (The afternoons were critiquing sessions.)

The last few pictures are from our Friday outing, and taken in the Llanberis Pass. This is my favourite. We started the day at Caernarfon Castle and ended it at Beddgelert, and for some reason I completely failed to take any photographs at either place! I was enjoying the moment too much. But I did manage a snap of a dragon.

Grateful thanks to all Milfordites for such a restful, enjoyable, companionable, and hugely inspiring week. Sorry I gave you all colds.

The bus journey? Was perfectly comfortable, but, man, it took a long time.

I'm off to the Milford SF Writers Workshop in the morning: a week in these rather lovely surroundings. Back in the summer, I decided it would be pleasant to tootle over there by coach; now, on a slightly damp and darkening autumn evening, I'm wondering whether the forthcoming 10 hour journey is such a good plan after all! Ah well, I'll catch up on my podcast backlog.
