Awful! Snow on the hills! But fair all day. Some sunshine: very cold N. + N.E. wind. Went to Beattie’s1 office with the form for Dean of Guild Court in connection with the room we are putting up for the nurse at Viewfield. Cycled to Rockville, Clifton Road + Curror Street. Then walked to Forest Road, Kilncroft, Henhouse + on once by Brownmoor to a plantation on the March between Haining + Middlestead returning by Greendemains2. It was 3.30 before I got back. Somebody with a 2 horse caravan is in the park close to the farms.
