That sounds like good fun!

I fancy all the things you do, but not I think a book group break as I wouldn't want to be dominated by literature, particularly if themed. Curiously I might consider a flute weekend, which just goes to show how inconsistent I am (or shows something anyway).

Jennifer

That sounds wonderful.

Linda C.

That sounds wonderful to me. Keep us posted on details.

What an interesting idea. I will be sending that link on to quite a few people. My old book group once went on holiday to Howarth and stayed in a lovley house near the famous parsonage all reading a different Bronte book. Sadly the group is defunct now but we are all good mates and it was a lovely holiday!

Nancy

Yes, please. When? Where? :-)

Really, I would like to do this. The only such gatherings I've attended (around an author) have been meals - a lunch or a dinner, usually when someone from a different locale comes near where others live - or, a weekend (for several activities on a Saturday) in Rye, for a Tilling event.

This is the best idea I've seen in a long time. I'm tempted to do one of those Gaskell trips, and for me it would require a trip across the pond!

Claire

Reserve me a seat on the bus please!
