Thirza Pidgeon’s 1937 World Tour – 7 July: Royal Garden Party, Edinburgh

Wednesday, 7 July 1937

Went to Edinburgh after lunch The Royal Garden Party was on, look very dark & threatening. Elsie & I went into Gibsons for tea, sat on the balcony – the rain soon came down, a great storm. Streets all flooded, party spoilt. Cars of people simply went back home. Left Edinburgh at 5 – got back to tea. After tea, went with Jim & Mrs Smith to drive her home to Blackness. Had a couple of spots, then back again in the rain.
