This has been decidedly the hottest day this summer. There was barely any wind. It was delightful in the garden at sunset + I sat out in the garden without a hat. There was very little to do. I cycled in town + to Faldonside. Both of yesterday’s confinements doing well1. There is the most magnificent display of foxgloves where the wood has been cut down at Faldonside. Crissie Patrick2 came. Dora3 met her with the car at Galashiels. It was her first visit to Selkirk.
