Scope and Content
Bad storm last Friday afternoon – oak tree in the close split from top to bottom & ‘was scattered all about – small pieces, one 30 yrds away – but it was not enough to bring it down…4 houses were struck in Harrold.’ Went for a drive to Boughton ‘just for practise for Frank…’ Geof’s chief going to Sussex in a year or two Geof would have stood a good chance but he is rather too young. Richard to be christened on Sunday - Richard Thomas. Church was burgled ‘someone got through the window on the left of the porch and emptied two boxes. Mrs Davies has gone to Switzerland for a month. Still has the church plate. ‘Joe, M and I went to see the Return of the Scarlet Pimpernel on Tuesday eve – quite good – but I like the Scarlet P better I think.’ Grass is nice and green but the flowers are poor this year. Time to plan hyacinths in bowls if want them for Christmas.
