11th May 1942

Up at 6.30, into a world smelling of damp earth.  Everything already looks much greener. 

Committee meeting at Birch today, and I drove over with Robin.  He went quite well, although rather troublesome when we met the Indians with their horses, also with lorries. 

Very pleasant drive back afterwards, then a cycle ride to Lawford, followed by half an hour feeding stock.  Yet the whole was finished by half past 9, and strangely enough I did not feel tired.  In bed by 10 o’clock.
