7th May 1941

Sirens as usual last night but no bombs to be heard. Frost last nigh. Sweet peas coming up also Godetia and Marigolds. It is great incentive to a write to have a little daughter to be interested in her work. Marion does love hearing each new adventure Beryl has. On Monday 5th Haile Selassie Emperor of Abyssinia was reinstated, after exactly 5 years exile from his kingdom. At 9.30pm we listened to the Abyssinian National anthem being played on that occasion.
