Just a sensation of snow lying on the bare garden plots but not on the grass. Sharp N.W. wind but a drying one + sunny most of the day. Was twice at church + Helen1 went with me this morning. The Musical Assoc. sang anthems + some things from [The] Messiah. Saw a few town cases only. Miss Dunn2 not so well + her speech very bad. Helen went with Jack + Nancy3 to the [illegible] at Easter Lilliesleaf. Nancy, Barbara4, David, Norah5 + Mr West6 came to supper.
