Hi there,

Thanks for popping in. What a fantastic morning we have had! Remember I told you something huge is going on at Clarity? Well, it’s official! It’s going ahead! I’m so excited!! Let’s make a date on Friday, for me to tell you about it though; there’s still some paperwork to sort out. But when the ink is dry, on Friday, I will sing it from the rooftops – loud and clear !

In the meantime, the dates have finally been finalised for the 2020 Parchment Retreats at the Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells:

Monday 20 & Tuesday 21 April

We are optimistic that the weather will be better in April than in March. Remember the snowstorms a couple of years ago? Hats off to the troopers among you who waded through snowdrifts to get down to Kent! But let’s make it easier by moving it back a month again, eh?!

For those of you who aren’t familiar with our Clarity Retreats, they are a 2-Day event. Two full days of parching, interrupted only be refreshments! You can come on the Sunday afternoon, a much better day to travel on the roads, and take full advantage of the Spa facilities and swimming pool, before meeting up with friends in the evening. I’ll sort out a little get together on the Sunday evening for us there.

There are several tutors and helpers, headed up by Linda Williams and myself, and all skill levels are covered. We have a fantastic set of projects in store for you this time. Yes. I think you will be impressed. Linda has outdone herself.

We run the course at the iconic Spa Hotel in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, and should you wish to stay there, we have secured a great price for accommodation just for us. These prices are a bargain and usually twice as much! There are a limited number of rooms this year, so don’t delay.

Single room £89 per night

Cosy Double room for single occupancy £99 per night – Double/Twin occupancy £109 per night

Cosy Deluxe room for single occupancy £109 per night – Double/Twin occupancy £129 per night
