It looks as if Maurice and Phil are back. Maybe, then, the M on the 1st December was Maurice.

[Greensleeves]

Looks likely doesn't it, LS.  Didn't take him long did it!

Thanks to everyone for their help, especially GS and RT. I hope to meet you all again soon.

Thank you for sharing this LS and thank you GS and RT for all your hard work transcribing it, I really enjoyed reading it. What a pity that the diaries didn't go on into war time, that would have been a real insight into life in London!

[Greensleeves]

I have so enjoyed transcribing the diaries with RT; thanks for posting them LS, its been utterly fascinating.  I really felt involved with the story, particularly as we know the historical background, and what her generation would be facing shortly after the second diary ends.

Regards and thanks to our anonymous diarist, and to LS for entrusting her words to our transcribing skills.

Kind regards
GS
