Saint Barnabas Last quarter 6:51 AM
We got up early and
took Nora back to school. We arrived in very good time this Monday. After I left
Nora, I ordered a pot of jam and some chocolate to be sent to her.
We had a
very wet afternoon so did not go out at all. Miss Blanchard said she would send
my dress up today or tomorrow, hope she keeps her promise. I did some shorthand
for about an hour. Started reading one of the books Mrs Skeats lent me, it is
called "Captain Desmond VC", a very good story. She sent me two other books which
I'll read later.
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

First after Trinity
We got up late but finished breakfast at 10 AM. Then we came into the drawing room and chatted. Some of us sewed. We also played the grammie. We had Soy Chicken for dinner. It was delicious! After dinner we talked again. Iris did some shorthand
