Sunday November 20, 1983

Last Sunday after Trinity - Full Moon 

5, Club Street, Lidget Green

Bessie & Frank.
Her Majesty The Queen's wedding anniversary. They are in Delhi for the Commonwealth Conference, where the poor sovereign is calming everyone after the Grenada fiasco. I do not know what to think about Mrs Gandhi. Is she very bad, or is she very good? We spent a restful morning 'neath the duvet and then took baths and packed suitcases. Bright, sunny and cold. We left jlust after 12 for Winchester and arrived after 4, after only one stop at Watford Gap, where Ally bought a glossy baby magazine. Frank and Bessie were just returned from Guernsey, and were knackered. We dined on braised pork chops and a pleasant white wine. They did not go on about Ally's 'bump'. I expected a little more excitement. Not a late night.
