Sunday 17th August

Had brioches and tea for breakfast.  The morning was spent in the garden with Martha, whilst Maurice went to the morning service at the Catholic Church in Temse square.

In the afternoon Martha & Claudine took us to the Blacksmith in Temse to see about repairing Maurice’s rucksack, and we were informed that it would be available at 8 o’clock the following morning.  We spent much of the remainder of the day playing cards and chess etc.  Mr and Mrs Stewart and their two sons (twins) have been staying at Eeckhout ?* since Saturday evening.  They will be taking Mon back with them to York for a holiday.  Mr Stewart is also a school teacher.
