Top of page Miss [I] Leonard [age 34] gave me one Easter egg

Friday, 26 March 1937

Mr & Mrs Spriggins left the boat for the continent.

Arrived in Marseilles at 6. 6 of us went up to Notre Dame, wonderful position. Go up in a cage, then a great number of steps to the church. Went through and saw everything, had our photos taken, a glorious view. Came back to ship for lunch, and then 9 of us went for a lovely trip over ? efenest ? Mts, through vineyards and potteries.Had coffee at seaside then back to town. Place full of French people. Rather good looking crowd, we caused great fun making ourselves understood. The money came quite easy to me, 1 franc 2 ½. Played bridge at night, won 1.
