The Times Online has this by Erica Wagner about something Rico should have done:
"A couple of months ago in this column I announced a call for entries for the Jura Malt Whisky New Writer Retreat, an opportunity for a Times reader who also happened to be a writer to obtain a full month of peace and quiet on (you guess it) the isle of Jura. The island is best known in the book world as the place where George Orwell wrote 1984: you can't blame writers for wanting to partake of the good vibes that clearly drift through the misty air. Writers' retreats for established talents have been going for some while, but this year we here in Books teamed up with the Scottish Book Trust and Jura single malt whisky in sponsoring a place for a new, emerging writer."
Rico says maybe next year...
