@tombranfoot All weathers in one week in the Borders! And tests the clothes packing

[Tom Branfoot @tombranfoot]

Funny what a day can do. Tucked away at Kalewater Cottage in the Scottish Borderlands all week working on a novel about stand-up comedy, poetry and masculinity. Not sure I'll be able to get a walk in today with this snowstorm roaring ❄️🌨️

'Stella Tyge wasn’t herself. Last Saturday, as the smoke wafted from the spent candles of her thirty-fourth birthday cake, she renounced her birth name, and said she would answer to Stella no longer.'

An autumn evening in the Kalewater valley. Come and enjoy one or two yourself….

[Kalewater Cottage @KalewaterWriter]

Autumn at #KalewaterCottage : there are still plenty of flowers in bloom, fruit is growing in the orchard, and guests can enjoy the wood burning stove without being disappointed at the cold Scottish summer. In short: The best time for a writing retreat. Get in touch to book!

[Ramona Herdman @RamonaHerdman]

The competition is what makes @CafeWriters events possible. Please send us your poems!
