Fine and bright, but with cold north-west wind. Walked round the Elm and Alcock’s lane before dinner; to the Elm through Sibford Ferris again in the afternoon, taking the same walk again in the evening. I heard from Tay that Tom Manning had returned from Canada during the week, having been there the past 5 or 6 years, but that he said he was already tired of Sibford and should soon go back.
