This is the first morning for a week that there has been no fog.
There was only a very slight drizzle in the forenoon. It was cold with an E. wind but on the whole a reasonable day. I saw Mrs Harper1 + Amos2 at Viewfield, both as well as could be expected. Motored to Dunsdale Mill + Faldonside. Was in the house all afternoon except to see Mrs Archibald Johnstone3, the Glebe, who had [? Laryngitis]. Helen was all afternoon at a sale of work for Lord Roberts’ Workshops4 in Victoria Hall.

4 Workshops for ex-servicemen, particularly those disabled, producing a range of toys, games and household items; they were named Lord Roberts’ Memorial Workshops in 1914, in memory of Field Marshall Lord Roberts (1832-1914) who had taken an interest in them, and were latterly operated by the S.S.A.F.A.; the last one in Scotland closed in 2013
