Transcript
  • Sept 15 Wed. Arrows with Leonard: in competition, with distance handicap. 9 pages of Belisarius chapter X. Went to McCormacks at Old Bursledon in time for tea. They go to Jugoslavia Yugoslavia soon. Stopped at Petersfield on way & bought (all for 8/6) pair of white china candlesticks, pair of Spanish tortoiseshell small-combs, a necklace for Alix, a book on education (1853), a cut fine glass water jug, a pencil stand. At Bursledon Harry & I went for a walk & found a village speed track and a centenarian (105) old Mrs. Carver walking towards a pub at 7.15 pm. Then a hedgehog came to the door & was given milk. We talked & played marbles (with Violet McCormack) & the dreadful Usbornes came & Mrs talked all about lending library books. I slept in the cabin bed in the room with the priest's hole.
