Saturday 28th March

Bill

Up at 20 to six. We got up together and Doris went down stairs to get the breakfast. 7 o'clock the car came round. It was a nice morning but cool. We all got in, dad at the front, then Jean and Ivy, Mum and Doris and Lyn and I at the back. We started off on the road. Lyn was sick over Ivy. We got out and cleared up, then resumed the journey. Lyn got out three times because she was feeling sick. We went on the wrong road, stopped by police to put notice on, went back to Ipswich and on to by pass. Got to Cedars about quarter past eleven. Doris and I went down to get key. Saw Major Bell. He came up with us. We went indoors, mice had been everywhere. Wed got fire going, put carpet down and lit stove. Mice had torn eiderdown and blankets. I hunted round for things. Pipes were burst in lavatory and scullery. We had dinner, steak pie. After then we caught bus to Hollesley and bought some chocolate. Got to Gwen's, I hardly recognised her, she had her teeth out, and now Mum. I cycled down to Shingle Street with Ray to see Dad. He was well, saw *** and Gladys. Dad came back with us, he was pleased to see them all. We caught the bus at half past four to the *** then walked home. Les had got tea ready. We had a walk round garden with Major Bell. Packed up things and *** back. We made good progress. My telegram came. We were pleased it was dark on the road but moon light. Reached home good time. Lyn slept part of the way. A very nice day.

Doris

Leslie had dinner with us. Bussed to the Fox and walked to Gwen's after. Bill cycled to Shingle Street and brought Mr L back to Cedars for tea.
