I’ve just posted a link to my friend Isabel Huggan’s blog. Isabel, for the few of you who don’t know, is a superb Canadian writer who’s been living for many years in the south of France. Her blog is a joy, thoughtful and, for some strange reason, beautifully written, with gorgeous photos to boot. In my last post, I mentioned the Banff Centre as a writing retreat, but for any of you who want a truly exotic and unforgettable experience, consider her Mas Blanc writing retreat in the south of France. No elk – just cicadas, French food and wine, the glory of France all around, and the wisdom of Isabel Huggan to guide you through.
