Sunday 24th February 1935

Rainy afternoon. Bob and I were to take a walk but eventually got no further than Pat’s at Staines, where we had tea.

After tea we returned to Thorpe! Sat in the back room and talked in our usual intimate way. Must record however that before going to Staines we went into St. Mar’s and wandered around. Silence and the fascinating odour of incense. Aloofness of a Catholic Church. Surely, it should be so? Worship, not love?
