 Moorhouse Inn, Leeds

Hot. Shopping in town for watch straps. Ally complained about the strap costing more than the watch. Looked in at the new Austicks and at the Ann Morrow biography of the Queen Mother. To the railway station where we sat in a booth and had our passport photos taken. I look idiotic, and not unlike Adolf Hitler. Ally's photo makes her look much older than she is. Back at home over coffee Ally suggested spending the day at Horton tomorrow. What a good idea. Phoned Mum who was pleased. Marlene and Frank are staying with them, but our arrival will add to the party spirit. John is also going to do some double-glazing. Rhodes and Ettenfield is almost over. John spends more time now with George Waite.
