Wednesday June 8, 1983

 Mr Tyne from Sam Smiths has sent us our agreement which we now have to sign and return with the relevant birth and marriage certificates. We are in a nervous state over our future and panic over our breakfast cereal. It was decided that I should phone Mr Tyne and ask to see him tomorrow and tell him of Ally's condition and then see what happens thereafter. At least it will be sorted in time for our holiday. 

A warm muggy morn and a better afternoon with sunshine and shirt sleeves. Ally left for work in a fluster at 8:15. I phoned Sam Smith's and spoke to (David) Tyne's chatty secretary, who booked us in for 2pm tomorrow. Ally phoned at 12 and I walked over to Duckworth Lane to meet her. She went off and had her hair trimmed and we drew out £60 from the building society for our Winchester visit. (£48 was the interest last month on my redundancy money). We called in at the Whitbread pub and shared a ploughman's lunch. We sat in the dark of the cool pub excitedly discussing our future. A clause in our agreement reads: "the manager's wife will assist the manager in the conduct of his business on the premises as mutually agreed between them." Surely this allows for some maneouvering ? It would be a shame to let it go because of a baby. We are convinced we can cope with both.

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...
