I told you yesterday of the generous gift of a painting Peter Robson gave to Ewa Lawresh, a fellow student on Jo Parfitt’s Write the Stories of your Life week here. Last night we added a further cultural medium to the mix when some of us went to a concert in nearby Fivizzano. It was given by young musicians attending Masterclass workshops in the town and featured classical music from composers including Handel, Telemann, Bruni and Brahms, but ending (of course) with a wonderfully vivacious Vivaldi concerto. Stirring stuff.

All part of the additional serendipitous events that tend to occur during our Watermill weeks. You can savour something similar here next year. And, if you book now, you’ll save money, too! But you’ll need to get you skates on!

Bookings are already flowing in fast for all our creative courses at the Watermill next year. We’ve already taken 120 bookings for 2019, out of a potential total of 240 or so.

So, if you want to be sure of a particular tutor or a particular bedroom next year, NOW the time to secure your place, especially with our tempting offer: if you book a 2019 course before 1 September 2018 (only a week to go), you can have a place in 2019 at 2018 prices.

You can see a preview of all our 2019 painting, writing, knitting and Italian language courses by clicking here.  If you would like to join us, NOW is the time to reserve your place. We’d be delighted to welcome you here. Come and enjoy some serendipity! Maybe meet a Medieval signore in a local cafe!

Or be kissed by the tutor’s husband!

Magical!
