2 I had to stop in order to press out my clothes which, are a mass of wrinkles from the four week’s packing. I even had to avoid the mayor’s reception, because nothing was wearable. Just now we are sitting in a beech wood, with openings of lovely lavendar pink heather. There was to have been an excursion to the Isle of Wright, but it was given up, because of counter attractions. Some were invited to tea & supper at a castle there; we were included but not caring for tea & a crowd planned a restful day with letters & music. Mrs. Tansley , however, asked us to join a spend the day with books & her sisters in this charming beech wood. She had engaged an auto & we had a delightful ride of two hours here, lunched & are now reclining about with books, sewing or writing. It is very pleasant indeed, though the flies are bothersome.
