"Hi
Tim,
I just
wanted to thank yourself and Carmen so much for a fantastic weekend. I came back completely rejuvenated and
energised. It was great from start to finish. And as for the food - wow, I thought I'd lose weight only
eating vegetarian food for the weekend, but it was so good we all went back for second
helpings.
I'm still dreaming about Carmen's
chickpea stew - if the recipe isn't a state secret, I'd really love to get it so my husband can finally taste
what I've been raving about!!
When I get back to work next week I will drop some of the
lightsticks up to you, I would like Lizzie to get a few, yourself and your family and whomever else you think
will enjoy them.
Again thank you and all the Community for a wonderful
time,
Namaste

"Hi Tim
Thank you for a wonderful weekend . That was my third
weekend retreat this year and I have to say it far surpassed the other two. They were not even in
the same league. I have been telling all my friends about it and I wish I had taken more leaflets
as I have already given away the few I did take. I will definitely be back next year for the
vegetarian cookery course as I have been converted and in the meantime Emma is going to give me some
recipes...I was very impressed by the kindness and gentleness of everybody in the Hare Krishna
community.
Regards to Champa and Janaki and tell Champa the cookies were
delicious..."

To Tim, Carmen and
Janaki,
I am writing to say thank you so
much for a very relaxing weekend that I needed for a long time but never made the time to fit in. A number
of weeks have passed now and the effects are still there. I feel I have changed for the better thanks to all of
you and Hilda, and I am very grateful. Hope you are all keeping well, My very best
wishes,
K McL
The hospitality was superb. I thoroughly
enjoyed every aspect of it. Nothing was an effort and everybody made sure we were all well looked after at all
times. Food was amazing,
E.Walsh
I found my retreat to be thoroughly relaxing and beneficial -
exactly what I needed to calm the mind. The atmosphere in the house and temple was very
special
Adam
I didn't know what to expect, but was open to 'going with the
flow'! The 'flow' was wonderful, and I was very impressed by the kindness and warmth shown to me, and by the
tolerance and patience my endless questions were received with. I hope to return next year for another
retreat, and to avail of more courses. I would like to see more DVDs, and do more chanting,
Mary

Thank you Tim for
such a lovely weekend. I haven't gotten around to putting the photos into the computer yet but when I do I'll
forward on the group photo. I hope you all had a lovely day yesterday. And Carmen - I miss your muesli - I found it
particularly delicious!
Please pass on my
regards to Elizabeth, Sukhada, Ani, Gertie, and Bhagavata Dasi whom it was lovely to see again on Sunday. And of
course you Tim for looking after us so well - eventhough you ate all the homemade jam on us!
:-)
I hope to come
back for a return journey sometime, hopefully soon. Wishing you all the very best, Hare
Krishna

The retreat was wonderful - hosts were fantastic, so gernaous and
courteous. Janaki is so beautiful and uplifting. The food was so tasty and plentiful. The morning arati and
talk so relevant and informative
