December. Train strike, dock strike. Lady Periam. US loan. Conditions in Germany. Fruits of victory. Chicken standard. Year of deliverance.
Sunday, Dec 2nd
Nora went up to London to stay and then go down to Long Dene. There was a gas strike so no lighting, you were not allowed by the conductors to stand up on the buses, the tea shop refused to take any money which involved change and there were no oranges because of the dock strike! When she arrived the guests were huddled round a gas fire which was only just alight.
