 _. After breakfast we took off in the Triumph Dolomite, at speed, with Bessie to Southampton. We went to Habitat to buy Jill and Tim a decanter and glasses, and some tin boxes for Catherine and David. We went to Woolworths for some wire and then back to Martyr Worthy for 1:30. 

Chilland Barn.
Graham and Gill took us to the Cricketer's at Easton, full of flies, but had an excellent lunch. Ploughman's lunch with Stilton. 

After lunch Ally and I went to Alfresford and bought an old photo, an Edwardian lady, in a frame. She's called Phyllis.

Later, at 6:30 Frank and Bessie took us across the road to Chilland Barn, the beautiful home of Freddie and Avril Hargreaves. They are Welsh and he has made his millions as accountant to the Julian Hodge empire. They were very friendly. I came away with feelings of envy, which I do not like.

To Southampton with Graham and Gill at 10 to Lalupa's for a moderate pizza. Back to Graham and Gill's at Chandler's Ford for whisky.

A warm, gentle day. Ally and I took off to town with Samuel at 1pm. We didn't take the pram and I carried baby for two hours, by the end...
