 Chillandham Cross, Itchen Abbas SO21 1AS

Ally and Bessie just don't get on at all. For a few days together they are OK but a week is far too much. They almost came to blows today, and it was very snappy over breakfast. Bessie even told me to stop bashing her china around. I am usually exempt from B's attacks. Ally didn't speak all day because she didn't want to put her foot in it.

Frank gets out of bed at a ridiculously early hour every morning and wakes Samuel in the process, and so we feel that this holiday has been more tiring than life at the Moorhouse. We were up at 8am and sat watching a video of 'Quo Vadis?' from last night. It's in three segments.. Ally was in the bath and then packed and didn't appear until 11 or so. Samuel went to bed for an hour and we left at 1 o'clock. 

Back at Club Street and peace. We really should have come here for a week instead of traipsing off south. Winchester has had it. It's time they came up here to see us instead. We watched the end of 'Quo Vadis?' and then all slept together in the big bed. Very cold here. Snow etc.
