47 Hamilton Terrace

The Royal Silver Wedding Day. I listened in to the service at St Paul's and then went to meet Nicky Flecker at Paddington. Brought her back to lunch, and after ice creams etc. saw her off to CH by the 4.18 train. Felt awfully tired and came straight back and had tea and supper lying on the sofa.

Tuesday, 27 April

I felt very tired in the morning and stayed in bed till nearly lunch time. After lunch I went to Jane Morris and brought back a hat she had been renovating. Then on to Mabel where I saw Lil for a few minutes (feeling much better), then on to tea with Enid.

Did a little gardening before supper.

Rang up Bet. Everything seems taped. She is to go over to the Farm on Wednesday May 5th, by which time all the children will have been disposed of.
