Hunter Family Diary 1928

This blog contains the 1928 Diary of my mother, Iris Hunter and her sister Nora Hunter. At the time of it's writing, they were attending Bournemouth High School, a boarding school for girls in Bournemouth, England. It was their final year after which they would be returning to their home in Shanghai, China. Iris turned 17 in Feb of that year and her sister would be 16 in July. I've transcribed it as written along with any photos that were pasted into the diary. I've also added in a few photos

April 1, 1928

1 Sunday (90-274)

Palm Sunday

We both went to our first communion this morning at 8 AM. Then we wrote our letters. We went to Martin's. After dinner we did our holiday packing and were surprised to find what a short time it took. Then we did some of our box room packing. We went to the school service at 5 PM. Then we wrote to mummy, Mrs. Hutton and auntie May. Daddy left Berlin today and we expect them to arrive in London tomorrow at 4:30 PM. Three cheers! Who would believe our darling daddy was so near his girls. We aren't to have another telegram tomorrow. What thrills! The day after tomorrow we will all be together once more. For all years ago we were having our last day in Shanghai.
