Chillandham Cross, Itchen Abbas S021 1AS
The good old Daily Telegraph has put me out of my misery and has reported on Sarah Ferguson's lineage. She descends from Charles II through the Dukes of Buccleuch. Major Ferguson is a cousin of Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, who is a daughter of the 7th Duke of Buccleuch, and so Sarah is a second cousin of the Duke of Gloucester. Impeccable. I am very happy now. The fact that the DT is speculating is a good sign that something is in the air. Miss Ferguson shares a flat in Clapham Junction with one of the Princess of Wales's ladies in waiting. All this could be a red herring. Sarah might just be a friend of the princess and isn't interested in Andrew at all. The DT says the romance has been going on for 8 months, and Sarah spends days on end at Kensington Palace. Major Ferguson recently remarried and has a baby daughter who was christened last week with the Waleses in attendance. Sarah's mother is Mrs Hector Barrantes. I really didn't like not knowing.
We took to our beds this evening with our books at a luxurious hour and lay in a heap of idleness. In the morning we had ventured into a frosty Alresford with Bessie, where I bought 'George VI' by John Wheeler-Bennett for £3. It was published in 1958 and is in good nick.
