A focus on family history
Thursday, 15 April 1937
Another wretched day. Went into Strand to N.Z. rooms to meet Miss Slattery, then to Marshall and Snelsons [most likely Marshall and Snelgrove in Oxford St], to a mannequin parade. Very nice show, had afternoon tea there also and a good look around. Back to 130 for dinner then out to meet Fay and her husband. Saw White Oaks, her husband, very good looking. Had coffee & biscuits in his office. Back by tube at 12.
Sunday, 4 April 1937
Another cold and foggy day. Went for a walk to St James’s Palace, saw the changing of the guards, hundreds there. Had a very good view, in the front like. Had a good look at Buckingham Palace. Back to dinner at 1. Afternoon, went to the National Gallery opposite Trafalgar Square. Saw Richard Tauber & his wife, very ordinary pair, both badly dressed. Came back to supper at 7. Then sat in front of the fire until 10.
