A Weekend Away at a Reading Retreat

On Friday, my primary human and I travelled to Suffolk to enjoy a Reading Retreat (http://www.readingretreat.co.uk/), which turned out to be truly marvellous. It took place in a lovely cottage:

Retreat 1

We were shown to a very comfortable room, which was nicely decorated and had lots of character:

Retreat 2

My human had brought some of her own books, and also had some recommended to her by one of the organisers:

Retreat 3

We were also given a goody bag full of all sorts of wonderful things:

Retreat 4

Cressi and Sara, the organisers, had thought of everything:

Retreat 5

And I really do mean everything!

Retreat 6

The kitchen was the site of many an interesting conversation, and lots of amazing cooking:

Retreat 8

We got delicious three course meals every night, each with their own beautifully printed menu. And there was an impressive range of yummy snacks available at any time:

Each evening, everyone gathered in the dining room to enjoy the wonderful food:

But, of course, what we were really there for was the reading time. And what better way to enjoy a book, than sitting in a comfy armchair, with a large cup of tea and some brilliantly presented snacks:

We were both very sad to leave, but are definitely looking forward to attending another of these weekends in February!
