1924
The Diary in January
A momentous year for the family. They make the difficult decision to leave England and go to Africa.
January 1st – 7th
Chores at home and community engagements – from Girl Guides to Parish visits.
January 8th – 13th
The fateful decision has been made to leave England. News arrives from her son, already in Africa. Wynne comments on smoke pollution at home – it seems things were bad back then too.
January 14th — 21st
A final Mothers Union meeting for the group Wynne had set up 3 years before. The possibility of a Labour Government clearly alarms Wynne.
January 22nd – 31st
The Government is defeated and Ramsay MacDonald forms a Labour Government – the first in Britain.
