P.1561 we had been in Budapest for a week enjoying the baths, organ recitals and concerts. We started by getting a fine for not having the right underground tickets when we were trying to buy the correct ones! Dennis had been in Colchester? I think this was more likely to be Harlow. He did his training in different hospitals some more happily than othets. Sept 22 I played York Minster organ after evensong. A very special hour thanks to John Scott Whiteley. The next day we the prize plaque for Nellie was unveiled at Park Grove school. Audrey was there and sent us the press cutting. We stayed at 21 Park Grove vegetarian b and b.p.1567.

The reopening of Battersea Park library Elizabeth, Zia, David Campling, Guy Senior, John Hallmark

I spent the morning weeding outside in my suit. Guy turned up from a charity run (I later saw him at the Proms) John got the chop from the council by the Tories he is now in a wheelchair and I met him for lunch. The opening was a huge community success. The next day David had the keys and was late. He never recovered and I advised him to find another job which he did in Leicester. He came down for my farewell party at Balham. Elizabeth introduced me to Barnabas fund. Zia got my on the interfaith idea a Muslim postman and very intelligent man asked me about the official Catholic view not my own!
