Dickson; Henry, Alice, Mrs Willie, May & others rode, Mr Ashburnham, Bland & Smijth came in the “donkey carriage” as we call Mr Ash: poney trap. We made tea as soon as we got to the Bends with Giovanni & Jerry’s help. The Spanish Minister & Mme Mantilla joined us & were very much pleased. We returned home abt 6. On the way home as it was very dusty I was not surprised at getting dust in my eye but I cd not get rid of it & when I got home tho’ Hill tried she cd not manage it. | |
