Wednesday March 25, 1981

 _. Warmer. By evening it was positively Spring-like. Kathleen took the day off to gather herself for the busy two days without Sarah and I. 

Swam eight lengths of the International Pool at 1pm. 

At 5 Ally met me on Wellington Street in Audrey [Citroen] and we went down to Winchester minus Trevor Lynn [brother of the bride who was supposed to be coming with us], who flew from Newcastle instead, on an economy flight. We stopped off at Oxford for something to eat, but found nothing. This cast a shadow over the journey and for some miles afterwards we sat coldly in the car watching the countryside rocket by. Arrived at Martyr Worthy at 10:30.  Very busy here. Graham and Gill came in from the Plough spattered in blood following an accident in the bar. We guess a fight had taken place. Bessie looked pale and tired. In fact wedding fever is gripping the Itchen Valley.
