Coronation 'Evening News' has arrived. Dundee cake been thrown in the canal. 'I found a bug hibernating in my greatcoat. It had scratched a lot of fluff up with its claws - or whatever they are - and had gone to sleep in the middle - never to wake. Somebody caught a snake the other day. 5 ft 6ins long - we measured it when it was dead (still wriggling from nerves) all very thrilling - the thing wouldn't die. It was only an overgrown grass snake, though.'
