 Moorhouse Inn

John & Janette: Aug 3 1985.
Janette 21. Glynnie 31. Out early. To Rawdon where I spent £51 on clothes. Just pants, shirts and shoes. On to Yeadon to buy Janette a vase and flowers and then on to Menston. Janette was pale, fed up, and alone. John was working. Had a coffee and returned to Leeds. 

We nipped out to Pudsey at 4. To Hilda's. She had Hayley. Saw Jill. On to Mabel's. Saw Marlene, F, M, and D, back from Norfolk. Cousin Jackie and Barry have moved to Cleckheaton.

Tonight, just as Ally was saying that Janette should be 'starting' with the baby who should walk in but the expectant pair themselves. Janette was uncomfortable and on edge. We gave her a Crème de Menthe and a Blue Curacao. Upstairs they stayed until after 1am watching 'That's Hollywood' and eating mint chocolates that were given to Ally by an alcoholic George Raft-like character in the tap room. Janette was shuffling around in the chair. They went off home after we implored them to stay the night. To bed with Henry VIII
