12 May 1877 — Therapia | |
Saturday. 12th [May 1877]. Mrs Baring came in the morning & stayed to lunch. At 4 Henry & I went out for a drive in the Victoria. Drove to the Aqueduct & beyond to the reservoirs a very pretty spot—came home by an upper road to Therapia wh was in such a bad state that we had to get out & walk a good part of the way. The wild flowers were lovely masses of gumcistus, white & pink, of vetches, orchids, burrage &c &c. Jocelyn, Kennedy & Sandison dined with us. Post from England arrived. After dinner as they were sitting smoking Mr Woodford arrived as messenger with the bags. We invited him to sleep in the house wh he accepted. | |
