A lovely day again, not quite so hot as yesterday.  Quite a treat to leave at 5 o’clock.  After I had my tea Mother and I went to Watford Heath Farm.  Miss Bonsey had invited us to go in the hayfield.  I did some haymaking and Mother walked round the field with Miss Bonsey, before we went in the hayfield we went in the garden.  I had a feed of white raspberries.  We did not get home till nearly ten o’clock.

Another hot day.  The great world Christian Endeavour Convention at Alexandra Palace begins today.  I had my dinner at the Office and then Eva and Will Fawcett and I went to the great welcome meeting, it was a sight to see the people, but we were too far off the platform to hear much   We got home at 10.30.
