Christ's Hospital - 210 Coleherne Court
A glorious day. A letter from Bet this morning to say that Bertie Cobbold had died on November 23rd. I had missed the announcement. She had been to the Memorial Service at Sproughton.
Pips drove me down to the station and I caught the 2.32 train to London, and arrived in time for tea.
I brought back eggs and flowers and apples.
