Bank Holiday.

Put in all day writing our family history.

Take Gert, Violet & Jessie out for a walk to Broadgreen.

*In Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland, public holidays are commonly referred to as bank holidays, and the two terms are often used interchangeably, although strictly and legally there is a difference.  Bank holidays are holidays when banks and many other businesses are closed for the day. Public holidays are holidays which have been observed through custom and practice.

Up at 8.30 am & after Prayers take a walk across the fields with Rev. Ed. Beresford. View his beautiful property of 300 acres. We call on the Curate of Ragdale Church. I look thru’ the Register there. We look thru’ the old hall at Ragdale which was built by Cromwell & later passed into the Ferrers family. We continue our walk to 6 Hills to have lunch there but on arrival find we can get nothing! So have a cup of Oxo & return home through a drizzly rain. I catch train for Liverpool via Leic. @ 2.50 pm. Arr. L’pool 7.30 pm.
