Yes - I note they are now being rebranded as 'creative retreats' which still doesn't actually make any sense. She needs to look at what 'retreat' actually means. It does not mean sitting in noisy cafes or going around tourist hotspots. It's actually supposed to mean a quiet place away from noise and distraction.@Ginnyreturns But who is she nattering to? (Excuse the grammar!) I don't even know what this whole bizarre fantasy is supposed to achieve. It's a lot of effort to impress ......... who? Mike? Mrs Mike? Yellow trotters? The cleaners? Her estranged family? Ben Shephard? The orchestra at the Florian? YOU LOT?
And as her social media posts from this weekend seem to confirm, she never actually does anything she says she is going to do. With the demise of Headcase before it had even begun she evidently decided that mental health issues could remain non-beautiful after all. And with the demise of Wedgie Press before the submissions guidelines had been announced she evidently decided that the silenced women had no need of a voice, after all. And with giving up the 26 billion steps for victims of DV after after a few steps she evidently decided that the victims of DV did not merit her efforts, and could therefore remain victims. Same with the marathon that she neither trained for nor ran, and a host of other fantasy endeavours. Why is it that one minute these issues are extremely important, but when it looks like she might have to put in some graft they are no longer of any consequence? Don't answer. We already know. It's because the issues are not important to Liz. The important thing in Liz Fraser's life is Liz Fraser and the perpetuation of her fantasy of success and recognition. She just latches on to all the other stuff to continue in her own strange little fantasy world.
Fancy flying to Venice and pretending for days that she is running a successful creative retreat, all the while posting stuff on SM which suggests quite the opposite. If she really wants to do something meaningful, perhaps she could get a proper job? She could tidy up the books at Gulp Fiction, or do a bit of washing up for the Missing Bean.
Her life is just so tragic. Without the 'private means' she'd probably spend her days wandering the streets talking and laughing to herself.
Oh, hang on ..............
Brilliant post, @Beanchops . I can almost picture myself there. I can picture the screaming customer and the others. In my head the screaming customer is mid to late 40's woman, dark-haired, wearing clothes with holes in, too thin to be healthy. Somebody with long-term anger-management issues. I don't know why, but I imagine her as being sexually incontinent and often pantless. Somebody for whom shrieking and publicly calling people c**ts is a regular occurrence. Somebody who ultimately may have had to leave Cambridge, due to having burnt so many bridges around town with her unacceptable and out of control conduct, not to mention the obsessive targeting of married men, whilst married herself.Speaking from my experience (and others who have commented on the many deleted threads)of trying to get a bit of work done in Neros’s on Market street in Cambridge it can be difficult to concentrate, let alone be creative, if another customer is having a screaming fit at their former married lover or having a weird loud, threatening conversation with their current married lover who has ran away to Cambridge to escape them.
So, I can’t imagine how difficult it’s going to be to do any work in a busy Venetian … where apparently you usually just stand up to quickly drink your coffee before rushing off to do imaginary work.

It was down as finishing today on the original schedule, I think.Today is day 3 of a 4 day retreat. She’s doing DIY. But you do you
Some of the “guests” arrived “together” by some stroke of luck on Friday according to one post. According to another, they’d had a conversation/natter on Thursday night. But the post arrival nap was on Friday. No Liz, I can’t keep up either@intriguedbythis Didn't the first March retreat get changed from 4-day to 2-day? I have some vague recollection that it turned into some sort of pilot one for half the time and half the price.
Could be wrong though.
They all seemed to have vanished into mid-air today, don't they?!Some of the “guests” arrived “together” by some stroke of luck on Friday according to one post. According to another, they’d had a conversation/natter on Thursday night. But the post arrival nap was on Friday. No Liz, I can’t keep up either
Ah thanks - not sure how we decide on the new thread name, but I suggested 'Liz has Gon-dola mad' if anybody is happy to go with that one?Let me know the new thread name and I’ll see if I can set one up….
