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

August 15

15 Wednesday (228-138)
New Moon 2.49 p.m.

This morning did some more shopping. Packed. Walked down to Tolcarne Beach and watched children bathing in pool and people playing hockey and cricket.
Left by 1:55 train for Par. Left Par 3 p.m. direct to Newton. Had tea on train. Arrived Newton 5 p.m.
Had ices in Newton and saw the famous Cricket fields. Caught the 6 o'clock train to Lustleigh arriving 6:28. Agnes (Applelby ) Dolly, and Jacques were there to meet us. Our impression of Lustleigh was very favourable.
A good supper awaited us. After that we talked a lot and the boys were per usual, dotty. We saw daddy back to his abode and were pleased to see his room was better than the one at Newquay.
