Enclosures for December 1938
Dec 6 Tuesday
Laura not feeling well: had hardly any lunch.
We[RG] I went to Montfort with Alan, Dorothy, Leonie, Marie, by car, for the St Nicholas1 fair and bought toys for Christmas and a few household things – also a box-wood butter-spoon
& ten soldiers and a cake with
Vive St Nicholas
on it. Saw a bantam hen, roundabouts, and two ballad-stalls at one of which a man wearing
horns sang about cuckold.[RG]
