Sharp hoar frost: sunny morning + roads drying but it got colder + in the afternoon there were heavy blasts of rain + sleet + Foulshiels was white at 4. Cycled to Faldonside to see Jessie B1. Met the Lauderdale hounds on their way to meet at Sunderland Hall. Jessie + I walked along to the point overlooking Tweed Bridge + saw the hunt going up + over Linglie Hill2 + I saw the hounds again opposite Neidpath3 where I met Jack Lindsay4 on his way home. I saw a hound as far up as the Craig. Helen + Barbara5 walked to Linglie Hill + followed + Jack, Nancy + Tim6 were riding. I got a heavy shower just when I came to Mill Street.
