January 11, 1978

We went on the apparatus in Games. In Science we did tree rings (Susan S. and I) It was very confusing because we were told two things. I had Piano, as every Wednesday. Miss Cranston, my teacher, an old lady, said I am doing very well! I took an English test home (for Kings High). Daddy showed me a thing about tree rings. I want to go to Birmingham museum to see the tree rings there.


My father was a chemistry lecturer before he retired but both before and after retirement he had a parallel, almost full-time job studying and writing about local and architectural history. He dates houses using the tree rings in their beams and I suspect knew a bit more about the subject than my teacher.
