Went in motor car with C.O. to to Pont et Brique with M. Parenty. Place 2 Fhuya, 2 Firs and 1 Dracaena in tubs. Had ring game in evening, great fun. Gogerty and Austin found me at farmers, they had been brought to help with a calf. Mme remarked how stern I looked that she got frightened. Said she was sorry she did not lock me up with the calf.

Visit Le Portel at 6 am. Glorious morning. It is difficult to imagine anything more picturesque than the scene presented to the view, as seen from the head of the jetty, when the brown sailed fishing boats are leaving the sandy cove and sail to over the sunlit sea, the glorious breeze bulging the sails as the boats pass the rocks covered with green seaweed, and further out, the ruins of the old sea fort.
This with the harbour of Boulogne and the cliffs as a background and the foreground the sand and the rocks, amidst which the quaint fisher folk so busy gathering mussels or shrimping and others collecting sand to take home to their neat cottages, form a picture full of life, charm and light.

Sgt Major Gillespie visited hospital this evening. Told me about C. Strong feeling passed over. Spent a very happy evening at the neighbouring farmer's, M. Leuillet. The ring game with M, Mm, and Mlle Leontine was very much enjoyed by all. The height of amusement was attained when Mlle ......... called me Voleur. (Theif)
