    We drove out to York Campus today (Friday 16th). RSPB were having a conference. Felt a bit odd, like someone settling into your old house. We walked around the lake, threading back and forth over the bridges, and found the lake begins and ends in a little stream. (It’d have to, really.) More types of geese, ducks, swans, widgeons, coots and weirdoes than we could possibly remember. Warm cloudless sky, but with faint dust haze. (It’s not only birds that fly in.)

    Hiya, everyone. I had a cracking time over the weekend. I met so many interesting and fun people. Just want to say thank you all for making this a fab experience.

    That's all the ones that came out properly. Got 2 of Roger Ellory but too dark to see him! Grrrr. Hope you all enjoyed it - I had a great time.

    And some of us took our cameras, but were so enthralled that they forgot to take a single picture...

    Would be really good if people could upload their photos as some of us forgot to bring cameras..

    A weekend of inspiration. I'm really happy that I attended, I've gained so much from those I met, the positives out weighed the negatives for sure. Great information and advice received from so many.

    Great mates finally met in the flesh after being friends of over a year...not to mention some surprises... hee he and some new friends made too.

    Thanks to Harry, Kate, Tommy, Emma, Debi and all those, I have missed out, as a result of brain over load... It was a wonderful weekend and great success for being the first. Certainly a must for any writer, regardless of where you are in your writing.

    And I'm certain that there will be another surge of new members on the cloud as a result of the weekend. I know of a handful of people that have said that they will join WC... Shit what more can I say.... just BLOODY AWESOME WEEKEND!!!!!

    Just to let everyone know that we've created a Festival of Writing forum on the forums page. It's a bit easier to get discussions going there than on this much graffiti-ed wall.

    @ Gerry: Roger Ellory has promised to send me that speech. We'll get it online asap.

    @Carokokos & Rugby Anthony: I know what you mean! Me, I'm knackeredy knackered.

    Great to meet Clouders, though my attendance was relatively brief. (Tip: look for John Onceupon's unmistakeable hair; other Clouders likely to be nearby.) Lovely people. R.J. Ellory's parting speech was an anthology of great writing quotes: can someone persuade him to put it online? Clare Alexander + Emma Darwin/Fiona Shaw - V.G. session on Sunday afternoon - crisp minds, very relaxed but clear and penetrating - that's how to do it.

    We felt the same - it was really strange stepping back into the real world after the weekend!
