Moniack Mhor
Dec. 29th, 2016 05:20 pmBack in the first week of December, my primary human and I took a trip up to the Moniack Mhor Writing Centre, a 30 minute drive from Inverness. The main building was an old farmhouse, with an interesting structure on the grounds, affectionately referred to as The Hobbit House:
This was the view from our bedroom window - very atmospheric with all the mist. Perfect to gain inspiration for writing!
The Hobbit House had two wood-burning stoves, but it was difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature in there. It always seemed to be either too cold or too hot. It was a lovely building, though, with seats all round the edge for group discussions or readings.
On one of the days, we took a break from writing to go on a guided walk and discovered some lovely masonry in the woods:
And when we returned, I found a friend to talk to on the grounds of the writing centre:
I can't claim to have written much myself, while we were there, and it's taken me rather a long time to complete my account! However, I heard tell that the tutor-led workshops were really excellent, and that my human had a lot of fun talking to the other writers. So, it was an excellent trip, all round!
