August 28

28 Tuesday  ( 241-125)

Went by underground to High St, Kensington to do our shopping. Went into Pontings and Derry & Toms, but found nothing to our liking.

We went to "Barkers" and Nora bought two morning frocks and I bought one. On our way home we stopped at "Bennett's" and Nora bought a navy coat (summer) We saw quite a good selection of dresses there so will go again another day. We read our books until 4 PM when Miss Skipton arrived for tea.
She could not stay to dinner but is coming some other night instead. We saw her to the underground and then met Belle and daddy and went for a walk through the Palace Gardens in Kensington Gardens. The gardens were just wonderful and so were the terraces of Sycamore trees. Went to see "The City of Pleasure" at the Marble Arch Pavilion.
