Tuesday 24th November 1857

Mother and I went to Newport. Mr Cooper repaired the door on one of grandma’s  tenements.

In the evening we went for a walk, the weather was rather showery. We remained under a tree for shelter during the shower, and when it was over the scene was very grand. The trees had the appearance of silver for the moon shone very brigh and there was a rainbow, I enjoyed it very much indeed.
