Nice sunny morning but very cold. Called at Australia house for letters. Met Mrs Carter & Miss Dunbar. All had lunch together then to Overseas Club, where they joined up. Had afternoon tea at Lyons at Marble Arch. Left them at 5 – had to race back to dress for sherry party at Lady Barron’s in Eaton Square. About 40 there, met lots of Lords & Ladies. Lady Swadling drove me home in her Rolls Royce. Asked me to tea on Friday, had to refuse as I am going to Holland. Met young Lord Jersey, nice boy, very chatty.
