17 Sunday (169-197)
2nd after Trinity New moon 9:42 PM
.We all woke up at 7 o'clock and had breakfast at 7:30. The coach was to pick us up at 8:15, but it did not arrive until nearly 9 AM.
We went by "Charlie's Cars"
to Cheddar Caves, via Wells. We stopped at a little in for a cup of coffee at about 11 AM. We arrived at Wells in time to see the farmers clock strike 12 outside. After the service we went into the Cathedral. We had our own lunch with us so had it in the charabanc.
We visited the caves on arriving at Cheddar and we also bought a basket of lovely strawberries. We came home via Youvill and Sherbourne. The latter place we stopped at for 30 minutes to have tea at "The Three Wishes" a quaint tea place. We arrived home about 8 PM. The day wasn't particularly bright but still it didn't rain so we enjoyed our day thoroughly.

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

June 16
16 Saturday (168-198)
Nora stayed at home to do her work while the rest of us including Mary went for a morning charrabanc drive to see Bournemouth and it's surroundings. It was a very enjoyable trip and brought us back by 12:45. We did shopping in Fishermans walk on our way back. After tiffin Nora, daddy and I went for a long walk. We walked to Boscombe, then through the Chine Gardens until we reached the sea. We then walked along the promenade to Bournemouth. We went to Bobby's for tea. We had lovely banana splits. We watched some people playing cricket on the beach and also tennis in the B. Chine Gardens.
Belle went to a cricket match at Billy's school. After dinner we three went to see "Sorrows of Satan". I didn't like the show much as it was too slow and go for my liking. We bought a honeycomb today
