Julia’s 18th birthday. In the afternoon she went to Newport in the donkey gig. Miss Alice Frampton came home with her and her brother. In the evening Miss J. Brading called to see Julia and brought her a beautiful basket of fruit. I moved the table in the parlour so they had a little dancing and in truth I think they spent a very happy evening.
At St.John’s Church there was service and a concert on the opening of a new organ.
