Retreat – 2009
I had been thinking of promoting a Spring Retreat from early next year. If I had it in Monbulk, it is quite local to me, and easier to organise. It is catered, but it would be bunk room style. It has quite a large hall for setting up as the sewing room. I would also… Read More

A Day In the City
