@LauraPAuthor Eeuw. That is REALLY dodgy.

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

@mushenska Honey, hot lemon and whisky! - hope it goes soon.

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

Really frustrating I can’t make this session - I’ve been to a few CWR courses and they are excellent. This one looks really interesting - a question we all need answering!

[The Cambridge Writing Retreat @TheCambridgeWr1]

Really looking forward to our next course "What Does 'Show Not Tell' Actually Mean?" with Emma Sweeney on Sat 19th October. It's a maxim lots of writers struggle with, me included. We know it when we see it, but how do we do it?? Come and join us. CWR is beautiful in autumn too!

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

@sarramanning So pleased you said this.

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

@LauraPAuthor @hkist Really useful thread. Many thanks.

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

@FranScribbler @HGWellsSSC Congratulations - great news!

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

@mushenska Definitely - and those green boots are particularly fabulous!

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

@mushenska Stink eye sounds splendidly passive aggressive - both useful and something to aspire to. Wd love to know what it actually looks like!

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

@mushenska @guardianclasses I attended this on a previous occasion and found it really useful. Highly recommended!

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

Today I wrote 500 words and have just deleted 400 of them. Aaagh! It must have been the storm. Tomorrow is another day...

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

It seems I forgot to close the drawer...

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

@FranScribbler Happy birthday and congratulations!

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

Who’s that sleeping in MY bed?!

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

Now that does sound like a tempting idea!

[Isabel Napper @isabelnapper]

Yay! Exciting to see this new venture open in #Paris. Always good to see a #newbusiness and #Parisstartup joining the #Frenchfoodandwine scene.

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

Cat heaven!

[Juliet Mushens @mushenska]

@LizUK @Gambit589 So sweet!

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

Just discovered new wine grape Monastrell. Great wine, food and staff @ParingsWineBar in York.

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

Very well appointed indeed I would say but of course I’ll keep very quiet about it!@DurrantsHotel

[Durrants Hotel @DurrantsHotel]

Ssshhh!! We’re always discreet about our well-known guests but we can hint at one who almost did. In @ITV’s #Victoria last week, #KingLouisPhilippe plans to stay @DurrantsHotel: ‘It is well-appointed, I believe.’ (Queen V extends an invite elsewhere which he can’t refuse).

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

A lovely bar in a really interesting and welcoming hotel @DurrantsHotel

[Durrants Hotel @DurrantsHotel]

Our George Bar is among 140 gems in the ‘Secret London’ guide to unusual bars and restaurants. Coinciding with the #marylebonefoodfestival, the guide’s co-writer, Hannah Robinson will be with us on Wed 24th for book sales and signing sessions. @Jonglezpublish @palindromicals

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

Agree on all counts. A great day in a perfect setting. Also as always learned a lot from listening to the other interesting people on the course.

[Ian Ridley 💙 @IanRidley1]

Fascinating day with @sophiehannahCB1 talking books and writing. Thanks to Sophie for sharing such expertise and to @TheCambridgeWr1 for a lovely setting and such fine food.

[Jane Penrose @janepenrose]

That's a double bill not to be missed. Loved the book event I went to there - amazing place, plus great canapes!

[Durrants Hotel @DurrantsHotel]
