My Dad's Diary : Wed 17th September 1947

"Rec'd word from Pagan re allotment.

Fine day. Broke inflator."

My Dad's Diary : Wed 9th April 1947

"Sunny day.

Committee meeting.

Garden at night. Paid year's fees. Put in two rows potatoes."

I recently discovered this plan of the allotment at the very front of the Diary.

My Dad's Diary : Tues 25th March 1947

"Usual sort of day. Bicycle nearly completed - went for run to garden."

The garden was Dad's allotment.

My Dad's Diary : Sun 16th February 1947

"Tired today. Went to see Pagan regarding allotment.

Up till 2.30 a.m. with Baby.

Snow still lying. Hard frost."

"Pagan"? I don't know - a man's name, I guess.
