Thorpeness Reading Retreat

For the first weekend of February, my primary human and I travelled to Thorpeness for another glorious reading retreat:

We received another lovely goody bag, this time with socks and tea – and had our pile of books all ready:

The cottage had a spacious living room, where most of the reading was done:

The Reading Retreat Totoros were on hand to provide quality control on all the amazing food we ate over the weekend:

We also got out and about on a walk down the beach to a giant metal clam shell:

It was an impressive structure close up:

On the second day, we walked inland round the village and took a look at the House in the Clouds:

Opposite was a rather strange windmill:

Mostly, though, the focus was on reading, and here is a rare picture of my human in her preferred habitat – note the tea and snacks within easy reach, and the fluffly slippers for maximum comfort:

The whole weekend was marvellous, and we’re very much looking forward to the next one in June!
