Earlier this year, I was invited to present a talk to the prestigious - and very welcoming - Robert Louis Stevenson Club in Edinburgh as a result of a conversation I had with member and fellow author Gillean Somerville Arjat. My thanks go to Gillean, to Chair Jon Cossar, and to the committee for giving me this opportunity.
It was a joy to spend the afternoon at the Club, sharing memories with everyone about the man himself and the picturesque writers' and artists' retreat at Grez-sur-Loing where RLS lived for some months in the 1870s, and which members of the Club have visited. I think my slide show and reflections on my month spent there during my Fellowship in 2010 brought back many happy memories for us all!
It was a further delight to receive the Club's summer newsletter through the post, and to see a write-up of my visit.
