Now that's the literary lifestyle I'd love. (Alliterative, too). Just keep on living it for me. I am impressed. Now that’s the literary lifestyle I’d love. (Alliterative, too).

DM - squandering time is what being young is all about though, isn't it? All those unwritten novels... SAHD - How astute of you to realise that I feel naked without it.

I watched a BBC 2 prog a few years ago and ever since have fancied a retreat at Worth Abbey but a more likely to end up at Champneys because big sis is paying. keep promising myself a weekend away.

OM - Ian McEwan has recently written a book with a Chesil Beach link. In fact we read an excerpt from it (printed in the Guardian) while we were there. And yes, I did take one small pebble. Strictly forbidden of course, but I expect everyone does it. This weekend away is becoming an annual event - I’m secretly planning another in the summer though.

Did you take a pebble from the beach like the author of the book (whose name eludes me completely) or were you more eco-conscious? How lovely it sounds.

Wow - a weekend away on your own. I made a brief bid for freedom in March, but by the time I got over the novelty of going to the loo on my own it was time to come home.
