 Bank Holiday in the UK & Republic of Ireland

Vast breakfast was followed by 'Ben Hur' and a swift one at the Plough. Tony, who is a godfather tomorrow, is now at York University, and now realises that the north of England isn't all mill chimneys and scenes reminiscent of Coronation Street.

At dinner tonight we had roast lamb and I caused a sensation by making Yorkshire puddings. Why do folk think they can only be eaten with beef?

James Bond afterwards. I cannot cope with Bond and went and did the washing up. The Rev and Mrs Matthew Lynn called in. Ally and Bessie prepared a table for the baptism tomorrow. Forty eight million sandwiches to cut tomorrow.

Andrew and I watched 'Convoy'. It is one of those dreadful films which would be funny if it wasn't trying to convey some sort of message.
