I and Julia went to Wootton Church. In the afternoon Julia expected Miss J. Rolf to drink tea with us, they went part of the way to meet her, but was disappointed as she did not come. I went to Wootton Church. Grandma had an attack of the spasms.
In the evening Mr G.C. and Mr J.C. called for us to go a walk, we went nearly to Combley and met Mr And Mrs Tharle when we returned. I enjoyed the walk very much – Grandma better.
