Off to the wilds!
Having done my last talk of the season, I’m off to a log cabin on the shores of Loch Voil, in the Scottish Highlands. After 11 years in my day job, this is my sabbatical: a four-week solitary retreat in the grounds of a Buddhist retreat centre, Dhanakosa; a chance to rest, walk, read, meditate, listen to music and drink coffee with chocolate biscuits. I was there for two weeks exactly 10 years ago and have done many solitary retreats since, but never this long. Farewell!
