In Portrait of a Lady, Henry James wrote: "There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea.” We tend to agree! 🫖 Today is #BritishNationalTea day, which seems perfectly timed for our Sunday arvo cuppa.

We can't quite believe it, but there's only 2 months to go until we touch down in Athens, city of Athena, for our very first (sold out!) literary tour to Greece with Kate Forsyth. Conjured from our wildest dreams, we are over the moon we've been able to bring this tour to life.

For such a tiny island, Hydra boasts an impressive array of museums and galleries, a testament to its long-time appeal to painters and art collectors. Jeff Koons' sparkling sculpture of a sun spinning madly like a weathervane, originally part of his Apollo exhibition, has become an iconic feature of the island's coastline.

Author Lisa Fleetwood joined us on this year's Creative Writing in the Cotswolds retreat with Kate Forsyth to regenerate her writing practice after the publication of her novel, Destination Dachshund.
Destination Dachshund is a touching, funny and bittersweet memoir about embarking on a life-changing trip around the world just days after the death of the family's beloved dachshund, Coco. The book is available now at Better Read Than Dead - get it while it's hot!
Our creative writing retreat is designed to help writers of all levels, from absolute beginner to published authors like Lisa, find new writing inspiration through immersion in magical surroundings and daily writing workshops.

Our fabulous Parisian local guide and chanteuse de jazz Melissa Lesnie recently performed at La Coupole, an iconic French brasserie in Montparnasse, a quartier that was a hub for writers, artists and expats during les années folles (Roaring 20s). The restaurant (which we luncheon at this year on our Memoir Writing in Paris tour!) attracted 'le tout Paris' (the A-list) including the likes of Colette, Jean-Paul Sartre (always seated at table 149) and Simone de Beauvoir, Josephine Baker, Albert Camus (who celebrated his Nobel Prize here in 1957), Man Ray, Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall.
The downstairs ball room ('le dancing') became known for its debauched parties - a tradition which continues today with Les Paris Follies organised by La Baronne de Paname with big bands and a strictly 1920s-30s dress code.
🎥 Melissa Lesnie.
