Saturday 3.8.57
[…]
We got away after our rest at
about 3.30pm & after calling at B’m went on to Danbury. The Jameson’s have
a lovely home. He had evidently
prospered in business. We enjoyed sharing past & present experiences.
Walter’s wife comes from Norfolk & they have a charming daughter of
eighteen. Olive.
Sunday 4.8.57
Slept soundly. The medicine Dr
gave me is evidently intended to induce deep rest & relaxation.
We were away in good time
& found the roads busier as was to be expected. I had prepared bread for
the Holy Com Service in place of wafers & nobody commented. We had 15 out
& 13 stopped to H.C. We had morning prayer up to the 3rd collect
& H.C. from the “invitation”. Mr Newson, People’s Warden, said it was quite
like old times to have M Pr again.
Called on the Rumbold family.

Marjorie Shorey came to B’m w
us in the eve. Miss Bellchamber, her sister & husband turned up &
several who were not there last week. Had about 50 present. Felt very free
& believe God honoured His word.
We were asked to coffee after
& H went to the wrong house. The husband received us kindly, the wife was
in bed with lumbago. No sign of coffee & after half an hour we moved off.
Outside H said she made a mistake: we ought to have gone next door. When we
arrived, the coffee was spoiled & so was the lady’s humour. We explained
& in due course & conversation we received fresh coffee & cake
& forgiveness. The last of which I was glad to see materialise. It was ten
o’c before we got away & 10.45 before we were home. Mins greeted us &
shared some small family gossip.
H & I felt we had had a
happy day in the Master’s service & look forward to our moving into the
Parish. Lord, do thy gracious work in my heart & mind & will that I may
prove a fit instrument in thy hand.
