I sometimes wonder if the value of sessions like this is more the fact that we have permission to spend the time writing with no distractions or excuses, rather than anything the teacher/leader can impart, but it doesn't sound as though this was the case with Ms Whipman.Julia Thorleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00485301135194085398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323608100391663677.post-65800104766534894522016-11-14T09:11:46.045-08:002016-11-14T09:11:46.045-08:00It sounds like a fantastic day, Tracy and I'm ...It sounds like a fantastic day, Tracy and I'm glad you found it so inspirational.

I have actually just looked at my diary for January and checked the distance...hmm, it would take me over 2 hours to get there, which is quite a lot but it sounds like a great course!
