B. Umney, September 19th 1957. One night I herd a bottel fall over. I looked out of the window and there was a enormouse hedgehog. Mr smith rolled it on to the lawn and it ran all about the lawn. It ran in a funny way and it disappeared into the hedge.
When we were playing football, five calves came up to the fence, and one of them came in the field. At the same time one got back to the field. Then when we came in Jenny, went to tell Mr Walkins that they were out of the field and Mr Walkins, David, and Lassie came and took them back.
Last night when I was in the house I heard an owl hoot in the tres in greens field. Then it stopped and there were some dogs barking and some one hammering too. Then the hoot was not so near it was fainter than before. I could still hear the hammering.

September 27th It has been raining for two days and our field is terribly muddy. The workmens van got stuck in the mud and it took at least five minutes before the van started moving. We have two kittens and they are about four months old. Last Sunday we took them to be doctored and found out that one was a female and one was a male. Their names are Blitzer and Donner.
Yesterday when we went to the library we saw a cock pheasant. It had a long tail, a red patch on its eye more pretty colours on it. When we got there I got a book called Biggles and Jennings. I have read half of Biggles. Peter Austen came as well, his books were mysteries.

Sept 27. Last night after I had had my tea my older brother and I went up the old army camp. We were going to some big stones for a rockery. After a little while we had quite a big pile. Then I got board and we put the stones on it and carried them home. Today it is Gladys Irelands last day at school for tomorrow she is moving to Clifton Raynhg.
