"If this house were in Wales it would be Gorfwysfa. It will stay with me and when I am not here it will still be a retreat for my mind."

"La brisa en el olivar
y la luz de la luna
sobre el bancal
hacen de cualquier hombre
un poeta

- y la cocina en la casa
ayul de la Calle
Maria del Milagro
hace de cualquier poet
un genio

Gwyneth Box , Martin Bates, Pat Adelman
Fawzia Kane & Arthur North
(The breeze in the olives, and the moonlight on the orchards make anyone a poet - and the kitchen of the house on the street of Mary of Miracles make any poet a genius...)"

"An artist's consort enjoyed the fantastic hospitality, the review of all life from outside Pepé's bar and the intellectual stimulation. Thank you both for letting us stay in your superb home..."

"In my mind I called your house 'Forever Summer'. It brought out the best in me and for that I'm most grateful. Your hospitality is most generous and allows for what it takes to feel flowing and in touch with oneself."

"What a fabulous week with an amazing group of people. Judith's been a great inspiration to move me into the next phase of my memoir. The course has been rigourous, playful, tearful, zestful, - it has been greatly energising and such a lot of fun. I was introduced to the Almassera by Mimi Khalvati's poem 'Mediterranean of the Mind' and Mimi's spirit has been with all of us here. It has been a perfect setting and it's very hard to say goodbye....."
