Thank you again for a terrific time. It was one of the best 2 weeks of my life. I loved Collaldra. The scenery is just stunning, the hospitality and accommodation is first class. I loved the relaxed atmosphere and the respect that was given to people who might want to find a quiet space to write or surface and join in the interesting conversations. I loved the dogs and Princess the cat wandering around. Most of all I loved Barrie’s classes. Your knowledge was passed on generously and always in an interesting way. The time at the morning tutes seemed to fly by and I know that that when I left Collaldra I was a significantly better writer than when I arrived. It was a long way to come from Australia but well worth it and I look forward to future attendances at your school. Thank you again and feel free to use any part of this in any publicity material.

I read out the last 4 scenes to my wife last night and she was very impressed. She said my writing had really moved up a couple of gears and I know it has as well.
