Lovely day, very still & brilliant sunshine.
Aunt Ju’s funeral is to be held tomorrow at Penzance. Arthur & Father are going to it.
In the afternoon there was a memorial service at Lamerton, Mr Morshead, having being cremated. The funeral is to be held tomorrow.
As regards the war, there is no special news. According to the Daily Mail yesterday was the 20th day of the Battle of the rivers. Our army is holding its own. On all sides the deviousness of the Germans is shown, especially in these strategic positions.
The new fruit house is now finished and very pretty it looks, inside it is already full with apples. Never before has there been such a big crop or such wonderful fruit.
As a result of the 2 sittings of eggs, I have 14 chicks which I have given to one hen. She has however trodden on one today.
What was the fruit house? And is there any sign of it now? I”ve not heard of one before: is it special to Devon with its fruit growing tradition.
Interesting that 2014 has also been a bumper year for apples.
