A perfect day, calm clear + sunny up till 4 after which it got duller. There was heavy hoar frost in the morning. [words deleted] I made the mistake of changing the clocks last night from Summer to normal time + we were a little confused this morning. Saw Lady Napier + went to church with Hardinge1 + after I took her for a good sharp walk to the Gala Rigg from which the view was very fine. After lunch I measured the ground at the foot of the tennis green + the new wall. Went alone to evening service. Nancy + Jock2 supped here. Jack3 still at Lilliesleaf.
