Tuesday 8th August
Up & after a while Aunt Trix, Peg, Mum & I to Jamaica to shop. Rainy – hot & steamy. Got presents – Mum a hat & shoes- me a muslin evening dress – white with red spots! Such a job getting everything. Home eventually covered with parcels.
Then had tea- washed hair & wrote post cards. The others all back. Had dinner- champagne and toasts! Afterwords gave presents & got presents. To Margs & Monie, pyjamas- Aunt Moo, bathing suit, Pegs playsuit- I got stockings, pants, perfume & so on.
Packed & nearly died with the heat. Bed at last.
