Warm, nice spring day. Planes going out in great numbers. Mrs. Hartley, wife of one of the other lodgers at Woodside, has been away for 10 days, and returned today with a baby.
Now reading Dorothy Wordsworth’s
Journals for the first time. Curious to
see how her impressions of Scotland
Heard today that the new
Assistant District Officer will be arriving on June 1st, so went to
the Billeting Officer, Elgar, to see if I could find him a billet. Elgar’s office is now on the first floor of
Sir Isaac Rebow’s house, in a beautifully panelled room. Several of the upstairs rooms are in
excellent condition and have never been photographed or drawn.
Saw Hervey Benham and arranged to go
through some of Sir Gurney’s papers tomorrow.
Cloudy this evening, and looks
like rain. Not a ‘plane about, so went
to Boxted early, and to bed before midnight, hoping to get undisturbed
sleep.
