Saturday 23rd November 1935

Dry, cold, sunny weather. The river had risen a little. The flood waters stretch a bit further. Can’t last long though – thank heavens!

As arranged, I met Helen in Staines and was with her just half an hour. She wanted to tell me about a holiday love affair in Devonshire. Apparently he asked her to marry him and she doesn’t know what to do about it. (Why tell me?) Afterwards she called on Di. I went to “Enleigh” and had a game of ludo with Ted Beach.
