Diary 1971


Monday, Jan 4th - To Stow and Bourton. One of the finest hoar frosts I have ever seen.  Trees encased in rime from top to bottom. Afternoon sun made no impression on it.
Wednesday, Jan 6th - Frost and fog continue with another slight fall of snow. A disappointing letter from Dr Barton. With capital my income amounts to £1?700 p. a. (including earnings at Cokethorpe and Mary’s capital). Ought with this income to have more cash. Ought to try to economise, but how?
