Sunshine. We went at 9:15 to St Edmund's Hall and North Leeds Prep School on Gledhow Lane to see a Mrs Lynch, who gave us a guided tour of her little school while Samuel played unperturbed in the nursery class. It was a good old fashioned school. Mrs Lynch walked us to the gate and patting Sam on the head said: "well, we'll see what we can do about getting you in." This will not happen until September, 1987. We'd like earlier. Back to the Moorhouse until 3:30. To Bradford where we all have our hair 'sorted'. Sam had to hold his Teddy Bear for his trim.

Bank Holiday in Canada

Busy, frantic pub. Leslie Gledhill came in this evening when only Ally and I were in the bar and he stood quizzing us as to why we have suddenly become so popular. The taking are going up and up. We had a wedding anniversary party for Pat and Tony.

The Princess of Wales is 25 today. God bless her.

Up bright and early. Liz in. For God's sake, I'm going to go on about the weather. People tend to do at times like this. After a cold start to the month, it has been the warmest second half of June over central England since 1976. During this month every kind of weather has been reported ranging from snow and hail and thunder to cloudless skies and temperatures reaching 90 degrees F. Over the five days from June 25 to June 29 the temperature in England was 8.8 degrees fahrenheit above average. The month started with a pretty gloomy day across most of Britain. It was muggy, misty and drizzly. Brighter weather spread from the north on the June 3rd ... Many areas had sunny spells but showers and a cold wind on northern and eastern coasts meant temperatures here were well below average. Cape Wrath in the north of Scotland failed to get warmer than 45 degrees all day on June 5.The next few days were variable. On June 9 it rained most of the day in parts of North West Scotland with mild afternoon temperatures... Continued on Page 94.

Lord Stockton is still not well. Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark has gone off to the Gobi Desert and mountains of Mongolia filming for Channel 4. He is 18.
