 Bank Holiday in Canada

Moorhouse Inn, Leeds

Lord Willoughby de Broke is 88; Lord Clydesmuir 67; Lord Maxwell 65, Mr J. Malcolm Fraser 54, and Alison Mary Rhodes is 26.

We were awake early and I gave Ally her presents in bed. Samuel loves wrapping paper. She had a call from Bessie, who says Gill is expecting further issue in January, also a call from Susie. We scurried around doing our usual jobs but excited at the prospect of escaping this afternoon. It was a dull overcast sort of day. 

At 2:30 we left for Horton. I felt dog tired. At Waltergarth for 4pm. Found Mum and Dad in a jovial mood. We were joined by two peculiar hikers. One, an Irishman, padded around the house in bare feet. The other chap sat in a corner wearing headphones listening to a long tape recording of bird calls. He was a Mr Pierrepoint, but no relation of the late hangman.  We dined on sirloin and Yorkshire puddings. They are waiting for Janette to announce she is pregnant. They say it's only a matter of time. We left at midnight, and home after one. Utterly shagged out. I slept. Horton is too far away.

 Waltergarth Phil the Greek is 64 today.  We left Samuel with his grandad and went to Skipton for an hour so. Market Day. Returned for lunch...
