Wind went round by S. to E. it was much warmer with a good amount of sunshine up till 3 + 4. Saw some town cases cycling + walking. Left at 12.30 + cycled to Low Faldonside. Meant to go on to call for Jessie Boyd1 but met her cycling up to lunch at Mauldsheugh. Went on via Gattonside to meeting of Div. at Newtown2. There were 13 present including Blair’s3 successor, Elliot4 + McLagan5 of Ayton. It was delightful cycling + the County quite spring like. Helen6 motored with Mrs Mack7 to the meet at Bowhill. I met the hounds on their way back near Bowden Toll8. David9 cycled today to Newark + then to Fairnilea.
