Diary 1972

Diary 1972

Saturday, Jan 1st - Heard a radio service from Northern Ireland (a hard sell) in bed and then strokes of Big Ben and account of the morning papers. Woke up late, in bed to lunch.

Tuesday, Jan 4th - Took Cil to Stratford to see Toad of Toad Hall. First performed at Stratford  in 1948 and so rather a speciality of theirs. Many very young children and a couple of seat kicking boys. Cil is better than she used to be, but they are all very frightened that Butters will burn the cottage down. The Butters will not give up what measure of independence she has and has already burnt two dressings gowns.
