Thursday
Slept only 4 hours. Shaved at 6.30, had breakfast, left in the
dark. The scarlet light still
flashing. Labourers moving to work in the
darkness. Cold, but fine. Determined to go to the Roses’ tonight, to
get some rest and pleasant company. Saw
Hervey Benham today. He is preparing his
history of East Essex during the war, but he
did not seem very interested in my journals.
He had been to the ARP Control people, and had seen the official
records. These, he says are in a
frightful muddle, and it is almost impossible to discover what really happened
at all.
Left at 5.30 for Boxted. The Roses very glad to see me, and we spent a
pleasant evening, talk and radio, excellent food. Stuart made up a bed for
me for the night. Bitterly cold black night, and very
few planes about.
