New Moon
There is no diary entry for today.
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

May 18
18 Friday (139-227)
Spent the morning in, except for the fruit buying and little oddments. Went into Bournemouth to fetch Nora, arrived 15 minutes too early, had to amuse myself with Miss Haskell and Fluff.
I brought some toffees for the girls in Nora's door. We went into Bobby's and bought some lovely cakes for tea then we both came home. We chatted after tea til Mrs. Nash came home. After supper we went to the Hippodrome to see Mrs. 'Arris, a comedy. It was a very funny show and well worth the money.

Ascension Day
I went shopping with Mrs. Nash this morning and bought Mary a new coat and hat for summer. Mary paraded in it for the rest of the day. We did all the necessary buying and returned home.
