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 23 "Calais to Dover"

23 Monday (114-252)
S George

Got up early and had breakfast. Daddy rang up to say goodbye to Mr. Phillips. We left Paris by the 10 o'clock train for Calais. Took the 2:30 PM boat to Dover. Had terrible trouble with the customs over our watches and silk dresses, that we were late for our train. Anyway we got back to London at 7:30 and rang up the Freemans and Hilda. At dinner the Freemans rang up and we have invited them to dinner tomorrow night. We are all tired after the trip so will retire to bed quite early. Mrs. Nash leaves us tomorrow morning.

I.H.
