International news

Our unnaturally clever Marcus writes:

"I'm pleased to announce the publication of my new book on the early life of Claude Cahun.

The French surrealist photographer and writer Claude Cahun (née Lucy Schwob, 1894-1954) spent a year at Parsons Mead School, Ashtead, England during 1907-1908.

This book examines newly-discovered material and writings from that period of her life.

Congratulations to Marcus - an important contribution to our knowledge of Claude Cahun, a neglected artist massively ahead of the game.

Our own Iain has written from Edinburgh; Ive been trying to cut and paste his engaging letter but failed, dunno why. The gist is that for the first time in his long and lustrous life he is living alone and discovers that it suits him; Edinburgh, whilst cold, has its compensations.

His letter is far more amusing than that precis! Will try in another blog to post it.

Also failed to copy Kat's beautiful pictures of the Festival of Hermits in Tilling on Sunday.

Any techies out there at a loose end?
