Wednesday
Fine, warm. Great masses of cloud floating over in front
of south-west wind. Got up at 7. This afternoon visit from John Chambers, skipper
of the Golden Belt barge, a most singular character, trained as an opera
singer, and then went as a barge mate, finally buying his own barge. He freelances up and down the East coast. I long to go with him to London , but dare I? There are many mines around the Thames .
He broadcasts on the BBC to America
on shortwave, and was seeking information about Colchester to write an article for
the “Listener”.
Several companies of strange troops
marched in this afternoon wearing battle dress and American type helmets. Possibly parachute troops.
