Pippa and Betty walked to Cox's Farm to see Mr Kemball about ponies for the holidays. No luck though.
I went in to meet Polly, Anne and Wilma at Colchester station at 9pm. The two tods have 5 weeks Easter holidays. Anne was confirmed today by the Bishop of Woolwich. Polly was present and also Mabel.
Both children have done very well at their school this term.
