A Sensory Love Affair with Sardinia
July 30, 2008
I’ve just been for a swim and now I’m sitting on the crowded beach below my house. There’s no need for a towel. In a few minutes, thanks to the strength of the early evening sun and the salty sea breeze, I’ll be dry. Wet sand, made up of tiny grains of pink granite, slide through the gaps between my toes. In the oleander bushes that separate me from the road, I can hear the heady hum of cicadas. But only just. Drowning them out are the happy squeals of nut brown Italian children playing in the sea, singing their national anthem as they dive in and out of the water.
Summer in Sardinia, more so than at any other time of the year, is a total sensory experience. And when I indulge my senses, that’s when my writing comes alive.

Got something to say?
I love following your blog! I have added a link through my website and am definitely thinking about the writing workshop in Spring!
Hi Nikki, thanks for the feedback and the link
Please keep in touch about your plans for the spring - we’d love to see you!
Hello I am interested in your workshops and am considering a short last minute break this October (2008) do you have anything planned for this month?
Rashmi, thanks for your query. I’m afraid we don’t have anything available now until the spring retreat next year (May 2009)
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
