Rudyard Kipling – Travels in Rajasthan
Elizabeth Merry
We look forward to a return visit from Elizabeth Merry who will speak on Kipling’s travels in Rajasthan.
At our March meeting Kevin Maynard gave a lively presentation of diary and letter readings from some of our well known diarists and letter writers such as Pepys, Boswell, Waugh and Walpole.
The full presentation, kindly made available by Kevin, is now on our Journal/Talks page via a full-text link so even if you missed the meeting you can enjoy the illustrated talk.
Robbie Grieve – Goodbye Message from our retiring committee member.
Greetings from Norfolk in the quaintly named village of Dickleburgh. It seems a bit strange as one of the Society’s longest standing members to no longer be involved after so many years of serving on the committee and, especially, editing the newsletter.
I have made so many friends and met so many interesting people over the years and I will miss you all. But the time had come for a change, and the chance to move in with my eldest son and his partner came at the right time for me.
The village is near where my late husband was born and where his family came from and I have other family in the vicinity. I am enjoying discovering life in a beautiful friendly village with lots going on. I haven’t found a group like CLS yet but I plan to join the local arts and history societies.
I wish CLS continued success and hope some of you will keep in touch.
