I think we may well be the only centre without a dishwasher but we stick steadfastly to the fact that it fosters group bonding (and otherwise, to be honest, no-one woudl emtpy it!).<br />Green ink: your experience sounds v similar to my own (which was at Lumb, 7 years ago); I too made strong friendships, which last and last. Do come and see us at Lumb!Rachel Connorhttp://www.rachelconnorwriter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-68384749849046893412011-07-22T15:15:52.831+01:002011-07-22T15:15:52.831+01:00Oh what a wonderful post!!

I went to Moniack Mhor, not Lumb Bank, but it is exactly as you described, Rachel - the feeling of being among peers is such a validating experience. I came away with so much more than what I arrived with. I even made a very good friend, who I still meet with to discuss our novels and writing progress. It was such an enriching experience and I hope so much to do it again one day. Lumb Bank looks magical, and a bit closer to home ;)green inkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10955967846673578879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2725342624231517088.post-56961821890469230562011-07-22T08:35:39.551+01:002011-07-22T08:35:39.551+01:00Goodness, me, am welling up here!

It is a magical place and you do an amazing job in creating a perfect environment for writing.
