Moorhouse Inn, Leeds
Frances is three today. She spoke sweetly to me yesterday on the phone and sounded so grown up. She is a difficult child to get to know and seems morbid and petty at times but is a gentle thing. Received cards from Sarah and Jacq.
Prince Andrew has been banished to St Helena, no doubt because of Koo Stark and Katie Rabett. He is making a stout Hanoverian prince and will not retain his good looks for very long.

| John Wilson (1853-1920) |
We expected John with trepidation. Ally would do anything to get a good night's sleep and fears another late night.The hours ticked by and he didn't appear, but then in walked Hilda and Tony, Jill and Tim. All very cheerful and happy. Hilda gave me three old family photos to copy. One of Rella (Fawbert), one of John Wilson (1853-1920) and a group, a seaside shot of Uncle Albert with his niece, Edith Annie Horsfall (who was of a similar age to her uncle), and two unknown boys. The photo of John Wilson was taken circa 1910, when he was in his 60s but he looks like a 98-year old propping up a chair. Edith Annie was the only child of Mary Wilson (1874-1974), my great-aunt. I remember visiting Auntie Mary at her home in Manningham Lane, Bradford, in 1972. She converted Mum to using tea bags.
Someone was sick in the porch. Carrots abound. Why does veg feature so much in vomit? Upstairs with the relatives at 11. They all peeped in on Samuel. Bed late after I made beefburger suppers all round.
