Only one day left in writer's heaven.
Olvar Wood has been an inspiration in itself;
and a tranquil place from which to venture into
the dark corners of my imagination.

Surrounded by tropical vegetation and a variety of wild critters; with the sublime breeze-blown silence of the bush or Enigma filling
the house...

I've been, of course, inventing ways for bad guys
to blow up the world and my heroes to save the day.

Life is truly wonderful.

Olvar Wood

This is where I am lying right now.

Okay - clearly I'm not in the photo, because I took it yesterday - but if I could travel back in time you'd see where I am right now.

It's midnight in Landers Shoot - a place about which I just had to be able to say: 'been there, done that, tick it off'.

Olvar Wood on the other hand should not be simply ticked off. It should be savoured and returned to as often as possible. Actually I may never leave.

This Writer's Retreat is writing heaven.

It's a place to write, to contemplate, to dream, to procrastinate.
And yes, you can waste time in paradise.

Yesterday it rained humongous chinchillas and over-sized mastifs for 19 hours non-stop. I thought I was going to have to build an ark. And today it's muggy and steamy.

This is the view from the kitchen at Olvar Wood.
