Last week I had a few magical days tucked up in a cosy cottage, immersed in nature, deep in the heart of the Welsh countryside. Why magical? Because ………

>I’d been imagining time away in nature, in a cosy sanctuary, with stunning views, reading resting and writing.
> This magical place somehow came across my path, available for just a few days.
> I saw it, knew it, booked it!
> And then discovered that a virtual writing retreat I was due to join, was exactly those same dates.
> After months of rain the sun shone the whole time!
> I was at home, away from home, in a land steeped in myth and legend
> Immersed in nature, surrounded by stunning scenery, mountains and waterfalls
> Following in the footsteps of wizards and dragons
> And writing!
Plus
> A couple of days beforehand, and before my mum knew about my trip, she said she’d just learned I was part Welsh!
