I'm looking forward to getting away for a wee 4 day retreat to Elie in Fife. A wee caravan all to myself on the beach, a chance to rest and refresh my soul, a time to read and reflect and lose the TV control, although I'm told I have Freeview if I want it! Noooooooooooo!
A retreat is a retreat, and I won't even be buying newspapers! I don't want to talk to neighbours, or anyone for that matter, really!
The RW has suggested I should take the dogs with me. Toastie and Peanut would make wonderful companions on my "spiritual trip", and would love long walks along the beaches of the East Neuk of Fife. Now, I love them to death, but I'm not sure if retreats and dogs go together!
I would love your opinion!
Well, the walks would be good, but you'd still have the responsibility of feeding etc so not quite sure if it would work in terms of getting away to concentrate on God.
Of course, if they "Domin Canes" (Dogs of the Lord or Domincans in common parlance) you can regard them as retreat conductors!
Enjoy the break - and the Anstruther Fish Bar is an easy drive away for a luxurious Friday fast!
