Monday 16th August 1971

[continued]

            On Wednesday we left the MacDs and the hills [sic] and went to the [M]s in [L] -- in an extraordinary house full of odd old furniture etc., [....].

            [DM] was very kind to us: that is to say that although the rooms were freezing and the water filthy to taste she cooked meals for us and refused to let me dry up, which made me feel unjustified or unwanted – odd.  Next morning I wanted to walk up the river but NM made us visit the badly-laid-out local museum, of which he was extraordinarily proud.  Only the replica room and croft really interested me.  B meanwhile played with K (he did well for women that trip) and I believe W stayed in her room.  P went to be sketched/painted by his aunts.
