The Diary in July
Wynne and Herbert complete their German holiday and return home just in time...by the end of the month things look ominous.
July 1st – 4th
Wynne and Herbert arrive at the final
destination of their holiday: Schloss Frankenberg, the ancestral
home of the Poellnitz family.
July 5th – 13th
Returning home via Ipswich, where
they did a bit of house hunting, Wynne resumes her domestic labour.
July 14th – 24th
Wynne’s life is principally preoccupied
with her struggle to employ a cook…small domestic worries on the
eve of a catastrophe!
July 25th – 31st
The concerns of the week begin by focussing
on the troubles in Ireland…but gradually it dawns on everyone
that something much more terrible is about to happen.
