I am only sad that I could not be one of your first visitors! I just hope to be able to visit one day. In the meantime, I have to 'console' myself with having Monday morning breakfast with you!! lol Well done Abby you have come a long way.

    I had a smile on my face throughout the whole video. It seems your first retreat was smashing success. Everyone looked like they were having such a good time. You and your team must be proud. The crepes reminded me of my mother, who just passed away a month ago. She was a French teacher. Every semester she made crepes, in her classroom, for all of her students. She was favorite teacher to a lot of high-school students. Anyway, I'm so, so happy for you! 😊😊😊

    Congratulations. It’s quite an achievement to have so many attendee’s and for them all to enjoy what you’ve offered and each other. It looks like there was a good mix of activities too. I can’t paint/draw to save myself but the atmosphere you’ve created there seems inclusive and probably not too intimidating even for a beginner like me I’d be tempted. Well done you!👏
