A lovely day, very warm.

At 10.30 D, M, Elzie & I and Hector all went off in a cart to Dartmoor Inn. The latter hates the motor & he took up a great deal of room. We walked through Doe Farm to Tavy Cleave. Stopped on the way by a reservoir for lunch. Sun very hot. We then went on, but did not go to Tavy Heights, but to another tor on the right. It was very lovely there, & we sat some time enjoying it all. We got back to the Dartmoor Inn at 4.30, but sad to relate I could not enjoy the cream & jam, as the sun had made me feel sick. Very lovely drive home, got back in time to feed fowls. 9 eggs, very good for this time of year.

After today, the press bureau will only publish French’s & Joffre’s Despatches “Joseph Joffre”. Hardly any news will reach us, this is to prevent the Germans knowing what is happening.
