Tart Retreat in 2024

This post is solely about the retreat I am planning for May next year. It is only open to newsletter subscribers so if you are a blog subscriber only then pop over to the website home page and sign up for newsletters to be eligible.

I am repeating here the content sent as a recent newsletter, and there is a copy of the application form below (retreat-may-2024.docx) to download and complete, if you would like to participate.  It sets out the cost per attendee and the payment schedule. 

I may not be able to respond to individual enquiries between now and 20th September when applications close. I don't want it to be based on a 'first come first served' basis as not everyone has the access or inclination to be online every day. So all applications will be considered together, regardless of date received. 

If you are unable to save and complete the application form online, please print it off, fill it in and send me a photograph or scan of it. I cannot consider applications in any other style.

In the event that you need to cancel, fees will not be refundable unless I am able to find a suitable new participant to take your place.

OK, that's the serious stuff out of the way. I hope you love the idea of a few days' gentle stitching in lovely surroundings in early May and would like to join me at the farmhouse!

I am planning to sell my lovely Lendrum spinning wheel.
Do you know of anyone in the UK who might like it?

Delighted to have this wonderful book waiting for me when I got home. 
The stories of 25 women who weave, spin, make buttons, embroider and sew, keeping alive their textile traditions with strength, generosity and dignity in a rapidly developing country.

The women of Morocco rock!

A long but wonderful journey from Fes to Erfoud today, over the eastern part of the High Atlas range. 
Stunning scenery, rock formations, gorges. 
Donkeys, camels, monkeys.
Also snow on the ground. 
Also desert. 
In the date capital of Morocco tonight!

It has taken me quite a while to get here (years tbh) but I’ve finally made it to Morocco. 
Only been here a whirlwind few hours but i know it ain’t going to disappoint 🤗
