Not dated c. 1770-1780

From: 1770 To: 1780

House warm, as Polwarth was there a few days first. Today pretty fine, "we breakfasted at the Hill house with Mrs Cox and Mr and Miss Cox" (gentlemen out hunting since 5). Garden not very wet, tolerable walking up to the Hill house; old park but very indifferent... the garden improving every day, I mean the bushes and willows... gardener has not yet taken up yew roots, but will; he will execute the little garden under the windows "as you intend" but says the beds must be small; wants to know whether the bushes to be taken thence should be planted round pavilion. "The azaleas, kalmias and other foreign plants are alive, and may be transplanted." Mrs Horneck and Captain Scawen.
