Saturday 14th December 1935

Now this is frightfully funny! John called at lunchtime, rather crest fallen. Finding the new digs were going to be expensive he had suddenly got fed up and had fetched all his kit back again. He wasn’t quite sure where he’d spend the night!

Afternoon – a cold, bleak one.I cycled painfully to Richmond, house-hunting. Most of the estate agents were shut; I had thought they’d keep shop hours.Wrote to some, however.

Called on John in the evening. He was comfortably settled in at Cherry Orchard again. Yorkshire John.
