Nicky slept here
I am 81 today and it has been such a happy birthday. Such lovely presents, flowers and letters. Mabel arrived about 12 o'clock, Awly and James about 1 o'clock and we had a lovely lunch washed down by burgundy. Enid arrived about 3 o'clock and we all rested till tea. Nicky turned up at 7 o'clock. I was not expecting her till the small hours of the morning but there was plenty to eat. She is in terrific form. Anne and Bram rang up later. Poor Anne terribly hoarse and the little boys seedy.
