Advent Sunday. Dull but dry. HC 17. Offertory 11/7. Collection afternoon 9/9 for Church Expenses. Sent to F Inns Churchwarden. Taught in Boys’ School, 34 present. Additional teachers badly wanted. Visited Mary Sabin with Bell. The old Dame seemed very well considering her age. Attended choir practice this evening. 20 choir children were present.
A delightful morning. A large pig of Jewell’s was in my garden eating my cabbages in spite of my note to him. Received Certificate of school closing on account of Scarlatina last March. Also card from Ramsay saying that Miss Husband, late of Epwell School had been awarded a pension of £20 by Education Department.
Drove Bell and Rosa to Shenington this afternoon. Very cold and roads very stoney. Called on Mrs John and Miss E Shelswell.
