Sunday December 26, 1982

Cart & Horses.

 1st Sunday after Christmas

Food in Edwardian proportions yet again. Massive fried breakfast. Frank is very good with the baby, and seems to be one of the few people capable of calming him. He looked at our Lanzarote photos and talked about his holiday at the end of January. He fancies Madeira.

Spent only half an hour at the Cart and Horses where numerous members of the Lynn family were assembled. Trevor Lynn, Gill's brother, and Teri Weymes announced their engagement yesterday. Back at Chillandham Cross at 3 Frank and Bessie went out for a stroll and I raided the drinks and poured us all an enormous one. Watched Peter Sellers in 'Two Way Stretch'.

Enormous dinner. Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding. Ally wore one of my old shirts, and her mother's ruby necklace. It is rumoured to have cost £5,000. Afterwards we were unable to move. Graham slept on the floor behind the settee. Coincidentally we watched an Agatha Christie play on the telly about a body behind a settee, starring Penelope Keith. Eerie. The only difference was that our body was snoring very loudly, and occasionally breaking wind.
