Back to Liverpool

I'm now back home after five days retreat and study at St Deiniol's Library in Hawarden. It's been a good few days and seeemed a long time. Most of the time was just reading, studying and writing, with meal breaks and the occasional walk.

It was very odd and isolating to be away from the TV and the internet for five days, as well as being away from family, collegues and friends. I did buy a daily newspaper and listen to some Radio 4, so I wasn't exactly cast adrift, but I still felt out of touch and a little vulnerable and lonely - which surprised me about myself.

Some more information on what I did and where my thoughts are heading will follow later.
