Tuesday 21st September

And now for your listening pleasure another edition of our long running serial Mrs Winton's Diary - today's episode 'I do like to be beside the seaside'

Dear Diary
Gwendolyn and Percy dragged me to a quite revolting seaside resort in Essex - 'Walton-on-the-Naze' they were having one of their 'Sand Sermons' - a lot of hymns and loud preaching. Unfortunately the tide was in, so we repaired to 'The Singing Kettle' where I had a poached egg, - I asked for brown bread - the waitress looked at me as if I were quite mad 'Brown bread, we don't do brown bread - there's no call for it.' When the meal arrived Percy said grace with such gusto he frightened the waitress and she tipped a strawberry milkshake down the back of an elderly gentleman - it was a most unpleasant scene. Goodnight dear diary.
